have you ever feel like giving up on something or someone? huh! there are times that i feel this way. well, i always think and believe that i am a fighter and giving up is not on my vocabulary...haha but that's just what i want to believe, coz sometimes i also get tired and fed up and i think the best way is just to give up & give way...huh! well, let say you have a friend or anybody who's close to you. and you tell them that you don't like what they are doing, and they say yes i will not do it again...but they still keep on doing it, and when you tell it again they will say the same thing again and so on so forth...what's that? making you believe for a lie? huh! so now, i feel like just giving up on it and just do my things and don't mind them...since they can't do what they say will do and just makes me expect for nothing, then i guess, im done with it...huh! and i think its better than to be hurt. so how about you? have any experience of giving up for something or someone? thanks!

OH no Oh no DUn give up!! U should be more motivated to fight for what's yours!! Dun give up easily if u really care.. Everything needs time for an end, and it's about responsiblity too.. Nobody likes to be stranded out of nowhere.. Thus, give it some time, and thye are definitely not lying to u.. U must have faith in yourself, as well as your own choices, if u dun have faith or trust in them..

and besides, its useless to fight for something that you don't really own and for something who don't want to be stopped... and what about responsibility?

hello best friend! well who am i talking about? hahaha secret! all i can say is that, in the life that you choose to have, you should always be strong and needs a lot of patience and faith... all of us wanted to be happy and yes we can just have happiness if we have peace of mind and be contented & satisfied with what we have... married life is really difficult & there's alot of trials and problems that are coming in & out...you can't avoid those things to happen...all you need is to have trust & faith with your husband...don't give and just hold on... that's part of any relationship and if you happen to overcome those trials & problems that's coming your way...you will be stronger in the future... don't give up just keep on praying and put your faith with God... with Him you can never be wrong... wish you all the best acie my dear...

I know what you mean with this. Sometimes, I feel hopeless after advising someone (in my life) or in a sticky situation, like I'm hoping someone or some people would change, and I keep giving them chances and benefits of the doubt, but the same thing happens or it's just stagnant. If so happens, I would just keep quiet and then move on quietly. Not really having a no-care attitude, but would just do my own stuffs, since the words are fallen on deaf ear or something. But I'll just try to take it with a pinch of salt. Have to..

As I read this I realize that I may be the one who will be given up on. My partner may give up on me one day because Iam the one who keeps saying I will change this and I have a hard time with it. I try but I always fall back to doing the same thing. I guess because it's something that comes naturally to me and it's hard to change that.

hello tina... ah okay, but won't you feel bad if one day he will give up on you? is it difficult to do what he wants you to do? well, i agree that we have those natural traits that sometimes is really difficult to change, but at least you try...or maybe just don't give any promises so that he won't expect and then feel frustrated after... hope your partner won't give up on you...

I def know how you feel... While I was with my ex boyfriend, I realized that I became really good at telling him what he needed to change...and was trying to "help him change" All the while, I wasnt looking at what I needed to change, and didnt realize that I couldnt make someone do something that they were not ready to do. In my current relationship now, I feel as if we challenge each other to make those changes. I guess you can say I am at the period of my life where I am ready to accept that I am not a know it all! I will be the first to admit that it is NOT easy...but I know it is all for the best in the long run.

This situations always come across our ways even if we don't really like it to happen. Sometimes we have to let go of the person cause we are letting ourselves hurt more if we keep on sticking with them. Friends all come and go but then of course, we have to let each other go when we are not happy being friends with them anymore. Yes, it can be hard to let go but holding on and giving them chances of hurting you all over again is not healthy anymore. You both have to give space and learn what is there to learn. Analyze your own selves and be a better person. No one will like you unless you are likable...

Hi Vi! I think it would be better to say that people will like us if we learn how we like them too...hehe or we should like ourselves first before other people do... Anyway, such situation is very isolated for me, haha there are only few people around me who are like that. But you know, there are some whom i just can't give up no matter how stubborn they are...my parents, my brother and my husband! haha I will not be fed up reminding them again and again the things that they should be doing specially my mom. Even if they will get mad at me, and call me a nagger and everything, I will not stop! haha Coz I only want the best for them and if they do, I am very thankful.

True! We should like ourselves first before other people learn to like us. Yes, it's not good to stop caring and loving those of your special, loved ones... If you truely love them, don't ever give up cause by doing this you are proving them that they are worth to love and of course, you are a family.

This is something that has happened to me recently. I was in a relationship with a guy for 4 1/2 years. He caused a lot of pain in my life, but I didn't want to "give up." Finally I realized that I was better off without him and I have been happier ever since. It's okay to give up on people if they are causing more harm than good.

hello picquarian... sorry to hear about how your 4 1/2 years of relationship ended...but since you are happy with the decision you made and you said you do better without him..i guess you just made the right decision! and yes i agree, if they are causing more harm than good, then we must give up on them specially if its already hopeless or impossible for them to change... thanks!

Sometimes I felt like giving up someone or something especially when I so depressed and spiced up with so many trials in life but I survived it by trusting all those things that bothered me to God. I ask his mercy to guide me in my decisions- will it do good to my family and myself? So in every problems that I have I know I can manage and solve it because God is my shephered.

Yes, I felt that way a couple of times. We all get bored with saying the same things to someone. But that also depends who that person is. Sometime, it's better to leave it, and let the other person experience the consequences himself. Some people just cannot control themselves and take things lightly. But you can never give up on your children. That's what parents are for.

hello Godmother! yeah, i agree with you, we can never give up to our children and for me, i can't also give up on my parents... but in this case im talking about, i also agree on what you have said, sometimes its just tiring to say things again and again but the receiver seems like not listening at all...so yeah, i guess better to leave it to them and see for themselves the consequences... but its just sad that we have to give up to them before they will learn...huh! thanks for responding...

I've experience that feelings a lot of times but I still try to hold on while I can for I know I can still handle the situation. But if ever I find it too much I will just cry my hurt out. Even know that I feel like I am the one doing the best to hold on to the relationship still I never lost hope yet I know its worth the wasting waiting for my partner to do his part I hope I will not regret it in the end but I do hope I can not reach to the point that its too late in giving up. Well I'm still holding on while I can.

hello happy... well, that's so nice of you...you know, i am also like that, but sometimes, somethings are just too much, and when we are already hurting much, giving way and just letting go will be a good option, instead of hating them in the end for their continuous taking you for granted... but yes, as long as you can, hold on specially if you know that it will be for the better of everybody...

Hi,ckyera,i had have to givp up a friendship with a friend in the hogh school.At that time we always shared our dreams,planed our future,And we also skipped the classes together just to have ice-cream,a little bit crazy.But it was really friendship!Unfortunately,she broke it one day and never said to me anymore without giving me a reason.At last i found out that she didn`t like me to have other friends.What a pity,i don`t think that one person can only own a friend! Anyway,i still miss her somrtime.

huh! sometimes its difficult yeah, but don't you try to tell her that you don't want to lose her as friend? or just try to explain to her that she don't own you and that you also need some other friends aside from her? well, sometimes, jealousy really arises between friends and its ruins a relationship...

Hello dear friend, It's not giving up,i would rather say...it's getting fed up,on a sickening situation. When someone gives a promise and can't be fulfilled,and keep asking to be given another chance,and after giving them another chance,still,it's another broken promise...so,why should we keep hoping for it? One thing i always try to do is...to fulfill every promise that i make. I seldom make promises,becoz, a promise for me is like a responsibility that has to be done. And i hate people that makes promises made just to be broken. When someone says or made a promise to me,and fails to fulfill it,i will accept it for one or two times...but on the third time...that will be the end of it...It is just like fooling myself and hoping for nothing. Sometimes,we have to give them lesson,so they might learn from it(i hope so) Have a great weekend ahead dear amiga

I have had that kind of experience. I had a very good friend, or so I thought, but then I found out that he liked hurting people. He always did it on purpose, so he lost many friends. Then he pretended to behave well again and some of my friends accepted him again, but I never accepted him, as he did the same many things. I decided to give up on him, and I'm happy I did.
