No one is perfect and no matter how we tried to do our best - we cannot please everyone- When you think friends are drifting away. You feel you are all alone. You ask yourself "what I have done" ? -"am I too hard to please or get along" ? When a relationship failed, You end up blaming yourself for not giving your best You keep asking "why" and more "why" [b]In any relationship, No matter how hard it is being with YOU- True Friends and True Love stays[/b] -Because true friends are friends in need and in deed-.....and -True love loves you you for who you are! Have a great day everyone jaiho®- made me feel important that's all I ask 6-13-2012 1:27pm Wednesday PT

I think at times we all feel like were not good enough. But that is far from the truth. There is someone out there who will love us for who we are. It just might take a long while to find them. I would rather wait for years and be myself, than pretend to be something I am not and have the wrong person by my side. True friends and true love will love us for who we really are. =)

hello LMB, That's exactly what I thought- the right person will come at the right time. I won't stay for a relationship that sound's impossible as well. I want to keep respect for myself and wait for the right love to come along. thanks and have a good day

hello ricky, Of course, there are always people who love us no matter what the cause/cost maybe. It just sad to know that, no matter how we give our best, some people we love cannot appreciate those things. Thanks and have a good day

Hi di what I have done" ? -"am I too hard to please or get along - Sorry. When you are upset, thinking this is only going to make you more weak and more gloomy. All DO NOT have the same mental strength and 90% of people are weak in matters related to heartbreak. For all, the best thing to do is - LET GO of the Past - we all say that and still we all know that this is near to impossible. Have a Great day.

Dont think. Thinking does no good. Instead go to the beach, have a swim, and when you return, have a mug of (okay I remember) hot coffee. Watch some toons sipping that coffee and you would feel better.

Actually when I reading your discussion I starting to think whom you referring to. when I end up I realized you are the one I'm talking and thinking about. To make sure I read some of the responses which from your own word ... its you. Sometimes most of us asking ourself why nobody loves me the way I'm? I'm so and so and so what is the problem. But did we realized that we are taking our own, we are seeing ourself but what others seen us, heard about, know about us - that's why sometimes others unable to please.. i know we cannot please other... think about his

hello visavis, I did not say this is about me -lols I said partly but this is a discussion and I am referring in general. I want to know others opinion and experience and not asking directly. Who among us here knows me totally - so this topic is not all about me Anyway, did you ask other people around you what they dislike/s about you? Or, anyone come to you telling what they doesn't like about you? Have a good day and good to see you again

Yeah we are not going to neighboor and ask what like and dislike to us. Since you said for general - means we are all open book to each other even you think you have nothing bad doing to others still doesn't means they are like you..

THat's because when we love, we love unconditionally, Jaiho. No flaws can make you unlike or unlove the person, because it is already within the deepest part of your heart and mind.

Sorry for bothering you both.. because I'm not agree that woman (you) "love unconditionally" I think better to call it "with always a conditions" - why I said that woman will love someone, if she love in return. if says some she given all, no flaws why still woman are failed to have someone.... ha ha ha

I am sorry that you are feeling alone. I believe that everyone has the right to this. To have a few important people that are a rock in your life. I have a few of these people and unfortunatly you cant just find someone that will be this. The first thing that you need is to love and be a friend to yourself. Try not to focus so much on the level of alone that you are experiencing. I got some much needed time to take care of me and purposely take care of me and love who I am. I could go to the movies and feel comfortable. I could go out to dinner with myself. I could buy pretty flowers and put them on the table. It was nice. And then I met my husband and I tell you it was well worth the wait and the feelings of being lonely at times. I have my best friend from high school that is my real friend. I value her so much and she is very important to me. And my hubby is amazing. He has been with me through everything. And its been a tough go at times. And the best thing is that I know that they will both always be there for me. But to keep the bond strong I have to be thoughtful to them and cherish them and let them know this.

]Oh good! I am glad that this is not how you are feeling because it made me very sad to hear that! I think everyone can feel alone at times, but at peace. Thats whats important. I teach my kids to be happy with-in their self and enjoy who they are. Its very important in life. Also to be "comfortable in their own skin" which means feeling positive with their image, and with alone time where they can just be with the universe and God. Have a great day and thank you for responding. [em]thumbup[/em

hello lady, Oh thanks for the empathy :) I am not alone thu. I posted this topic in general and not referring to myself alone. I want to hear other's opinion and experience regarding this. I admit there is a time in my life that I felt so all alone- but not complete loneliness. It's just a moment of peace and emptiness but not literally everyone left me. I still want to be alone most of the time and enjoy solitude. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and have a good day

What a beautiful and meaningful words~(^^) I am not in a good mood right now when people accusing me for something I didn't do. I feel like am I that bad and start to blame myself even deep in my heart its not my fault at all. But your words help me to think that we can't really please others even if we already did that with all our best. We can't understand others and others can understand us as well. I just hope they won't leave me like I always there with them even if I have did wrong to them.

hello sis It really hurts when people we love cannot understand us and situation suddenly went wrong. No matter how we try to give our best, it seems that we haven't given enough to make everyone happy. Sometimes, we need to give space and some reservations to make them realize we are also important and we need same attention that they are looking for

A person who loves you truly is the answer to that. This is the perfect time to determine who really sticks with you no matter how moody(?) can you be. But, can you check your own self and try to reverse the situatio? I mean, can you try staying with a person who can be the hardest person to be with and perove your worth?

hello lingay, Love never sees any wrong and most lovers becomes blind. You may wonder why some women stays in an abusive relationship- abusive both physically and mentally - you may think they are crazy, insane or whatever- and that's what love can do. I am not perfect, but I am not a bad person either. I maybe demanding sometimes, but fair enough to grant other wishes as well. thanks and have a good day

I really like your post. When you say 'No matter how hard it is being with YOU - True friends and true love stays', I supposed that it isn't something that we risk our own lives right? Because if being with the person we love means risking our own lives, then I guess, that should be taken into consideration. I was referring to someone who hurt and abuse you physically and mentally. Yes you are right that they should love us for what we really are. They say that it is easier to flatten a mountain than to change someone's character. We all have differences and each of us should respect that. I love my friends for loving me despite of my negative traits. And I am happy that they are honest enough to tell me that I am like this and that. That way, they are giving the chance to improve my behavior.

hello PD, Aw, abusive relationship is another case. I will never let a day pass living with someone who is abusive, whether it is physical or mentally. I am only referring to misunderstand, mood swings that usually leads into petty quarrel. Having bad moods/mood swings causes misunderstanding most of he times. Mis-communication often times leads into destruction. Honesty in every relationship helps a lot. I like friends who criticize me but never leaves me. Instead they stand by my side and help me change my ways- those are indeed real ones. thanks and have a good day

That definitely hurts when a friend we trusted too much betray us for whatever reason. Yes, they can always tell us what they dislike about us and that even help to solve the problem easily. But betraying only breaks the trust and friendship as well.
• Philippines
13 Jun 12
Definitely, honesty plays a big factor in every relationship. I definitely wouldn't want a friend who can only say positive things about me. I want my friends to be honest and have the courage to tell me that I am wrong. It would also be painful if someone you considered as friend would tell other people negative things about you. I would appreciate if she or he would just tell that straight to my face than let her tell the world about it.

I have gathered all memories to recall where I went wrong so I can make things right- but damn*d, I can't find any mistake. I don't know what your daughter is going through.

She is beautiful Destiny and my first daughter.She has some hard times with her relationship and needs to move on, but my heart aches for the struggle she goes through. I feel like this guy she is with is using her for her car and her hard work ethic, loves her child but disrespects her. I don't see it all, but I love her so much and , to be real with you, I cry alot inside because I love her so and want her to be happy (there is a domestic issue growing out of control). She has an awesome daughter and needs to focus on that last paragraph you posted. I can not wait until her soul mate comes along and is not one of those guys that comes off as a fake like this last guy did, just after what he can bleed her for.. Now that I responded to this post, I am going to copy it for her, but not share the link. I am affraid she will be mad at me for talking about it.

I have written few articles mostly from my thoughts. Count me as "sentimental fool" that's what they sees in me. Abusive relationship, regimented wife and a lot more, different subject, different thoughts. But when it comes to myself- I couldn't find the right words to say either I couldn't find the right solution. I wrote one article about women "Every woman is beautiful, it only takes the right man to see how beautiful she is" - but honestly, I felt I am never been pretty in anyways so I get hurt like this. Your daughter must have been so much in love and blinded most lovers do. I am also a parent (single parent) and I never wish any of my kids will feel the same pain that I have been through (that will be devastating)

Personally this is the hardest thing, is we cannot and will not always please everyone, including ourselves. So when there is an issue where we are having with someone learning to be understand and learning to work thru them is the Best thing you can do. This is with any situation in life, whether married, friendship or in life and a valuable lesson in life.

That is the right. While a friend or a lover who makes you happy is important, it is also important to stick to them during the difficult times. A relationship is not always going to be on high clouds all the time and it takes real maturity to understand that even if you leave this friend/lover because you don't have enough fun together, a new relationship you form would also face difficulty so don't abandon your friends/lover!

hello animegirl, Abandonment is indeed devastating in any relationship. No one wants to be rejected and set aside by their love ones. Yes, people come and go in our lives. We met new friends and old friends gone in time. But,even if old friends go the feeling should remain the same. Distant and silence does not mean "goodbye" always- but silence sometimes means "some peace and space". thanks for your share and have a good day

I thought I'd just add a thought which I read over one of my local blog - Weibo, where a blogger wrote "Be yourself, don't change for anyone. If they don't like you at your worst, then they certainly don't deserve you at your best." Life is just where there will always be knocks to be taken and unfortunately most of these are actually from our so called friends. We will just have to take them into stride and be prepared to move on as each passing day. There's no point trying to keep them on the bus when their destination is different from yours.

hello artemeis, Great, yes, we do not need to change as long as we know we are not doing bad. Some people just can't see the goodness in us- and only sees the bad side of us. No one is perfect, no matter how we tried and everyone has flaws but understandable if only given the chance to justify oneself. Anyway, you are right- let them take another bus if they can't ride along with us :) Thanks and have a good day

That is pretty-much what a 'spouse' is supposed to be (especially a wife ... "with (man)" is pretty-much ALL THAT THE WORD MEANS )---an accompaniment to the other spouse; good or bad, 'for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health.' That's what confuses me about Christianity: I don't think the Bible has any wooing process in it longer than the first one---where Adam told Eve, 'Hey, you're my girl ... stay with me,' or something. (There was that 'working 7 years to marry one sister, then 7 more to marry the other' that Isaac did, but that was more 'dowry' than 'woo'). Today it's pretty-much the same, really; ask the girl to go to dinner or a movie, turn it into a 'steady' thing, settle-down and get married ... or something. Just that women are hypnotized into believing they're "equal partners" (rather than the "servants" we all appreciate more than we can say), thus turning the marriage from a "covenant" to a "trade." That's why you don't get many chances to find the companionship you need. Any woman will do, but women aren't taught that it's their "duty" to find a man (we need more 'Sadie Hawkins'-celebrations ... "Search the Web" to find out why)! Women are taught that they're just like men--or something--and that they're thus in this world to make something good of themselves without a man to help. Any man who is 'work to live with' (either 'hard to get along with' or 'disabled and thus in need of help' (like me) or some other difficulty) is "too much weight to take on and still hope to stay afloat."
