Are You Hard To Please? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people3 months ago

No matter how I try to set my standards high, i could easily settle for less...

I must say i am not a difficult person at all...and that's what my friends tell me too..


The simplest things in life could give me the greatest joy...


I guess growing up not having much in life taught me that..


How about you.........Are you Easy or Hard to please?

I"m not definitely not hard to please.. lol=D MY 'mommy' can vouch that for me.. hehe^_^ I"m just someone who's very simple, as long as i get waht i want, it will be good enough for that particular incident.. lol=D

BUT for most humans, being greedy and wanting more, is part of our nature, or life.. IT's normal till one realises that we tend to lose more than what we think we want, if we are too hard to be pleased.. haha=D


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

wow kun..you have a point there..i like that

"we tend to lose more than what we think we want, if we are too hard to be pleased"


setting your standards too high would end you up with nothing..right?


myLot reputation of 43/100. IMEzekieL (505)   ranked 5,654 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

It may work at times but it depends on how good you can handle those standards.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

there's always an expcetion to everry rule...thats why we are given free will and flexibilty......


myLot reputation of 96/100. kun2349 (7332)   ranked 1,144 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

YEah, standards are for us to set, as long as we are not being overly ambitious, trying to reach for the sky, in just one step.. haha=D

There are always stages to things and we need the patience to have a perfect ending^_^


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

it's okay to want certain things in life... and want more..we're just human...

as long as we dont make it the source of our unhappiness if we dont get what we want...

YEAH TRUE!! thumbup

i would say that im in between i guess it depends on how im feeling that day


myLot reputation of 95/100. jndlponti (416)   ranked 7,920 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

let's look at the different sides of pleasing people, our selves, and them to us... humans are having these ego, super ego, and conscience--the basis of our actions. we may act like we are pleased, yet, our selves do know it's not enough; some would rationalize that they do feel please so they would say they are easy to please.... that's a good thing, but the question is: in what way?! hence, we do have different experiences and different status in life, these factors affect our perceptions in life, which affect also how we are to be please, to please and to get enough. hhmmmm..... but anyway, where your choice may be--it's the thing that could please yourself either. in one way or another.... haha! but i say, everything on earth will just fade away.

Hello goldy,
I think I can say that most of the time I pretend to be a hard person, but when one really knew me, I am such an easy person. I laugh at silly jokes, I'm contented of all things I have.Only I pretend to be hard to defend myself from getting hurt.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

ybon dear... you hit me hard with that one...

i knwo exactly what you're saying coz I am like that..

i put forward a personality that i am tough to create a certain standard or distance or caution from others...

but ugh..i cant help it..i have so much of my sweet side...

I alwyas have this ready smile on my face... so what do you expect? lolz


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 5,846 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

lol.We are the same though.And we often get the impression "HARD" in the first place.And most people think we are not that approachable but if they only knew. lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

true ybon...

but it doesnt really take much to know the real me...

people may tend to have the impression that i am snobbish or strict at first...but it doesnt take long for them to feel comfortable with me........

just one minute of conversation...enough of an ice-breaker for me!


myLot reputation of 99/100. voldrox (1536)   ranked 159 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

happy. . . you both sound like me lol . . . i have always thought of myself that way, i am hard on the outside, some people who don't know me think that i am a mean person coz i just look that way from the outside, only do they talk to me do they know that i am not like that, i am just a little sensitive person and it is just the hard shell covering the soft core inside . . . well that is only if someone meets me in person not onlinelol


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

it's good here in mylot..we get to know the deeper you right away..

i guess that's one benefit of this...

we can't be there physically... yet we can be our true selves!thumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. ybonjoc (981)   ranked 5,846 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

lol voldrox,
you also belong to the group.People see me as a mean person too in the outside and very hard to please but most of them told me that when they happen to talk to me in person, they discovered that I am really a simple girl and easy-going.


myLot reputation of 99/100. voldrox (1536)   ranked 159 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

yes patofgold i completely agree with you, we are our true selves here at mylot and that is where all the fun is... nice meeting you all happy

oh ybonjoc we are both so similar^^
exactly the same case with me, all my friends say i have actually always have been quite a simple and easy going quiet person, only just the first time they met me they had thought i would mean and all but .... hehe

it's nice meeting you both herehappy

hello patofgold,

I'm basically easy to please. Give me some TLC (Tender Loving Care) and I'm alright. I dont need material stuff to make me happy. I just need some attention and pampering. So, basically, I can be the easiest person on earth to be pleased. And I wish to maintain this way as long as possible.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

thi there sub!

wow...nothing beats TLC..it's priceless!!!

and I agree with you about staying that...

you will get all the love from people around you!thumbup

Actually Im easy to please but i have to know and make sure that the person is true to himself.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

hi shell..

It's good you are cautious...

i tend to be too trusting sometimes, and that ends me up getting hurt most of the time...

but i cant help it..that's the way I am.

6. myLot reputation of 90/100. involved62 (631)   ranked 6,136 out of 35,410 in people   3 months ago

Definitely, easy to please. Having come from a poor country with not much while growing up, I learned early in life to do with less. This made me appreciate the simple things in life - the smile on a stranger's face, my daughter's incessant thank you's for taking care of her, having enough to eat, a roof over my head, clothes on my body and such. What more can I want?


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

Hi there involved!

I am sooo touched...your words almost made me cry..

I have been so much tough times myself as I was growing up..

but i have no regrets..I wouldnt be this way today if not for that.

I have learned to make do, to save, and to be wise...

having to live with the simplest things..makes you appreciate more what is around you.


myLot reputation of 90/100. involved62 (631)   ranked 6,136 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

I completely agree with you. I often wonder how my kids will turn out. They have nearly everything. Will they still want to work hard and strive to achieve higher goals? Or will they be contented with just the way things are? Makes me rethink my parenting skills.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

there's nothing mroe any parent could want in life than to be sure there kids would be alright when we cant be aorund for them anymore.........

I know how it feels as I am a mom too...

wow life's both extremes...it just depends on which side we want to see...

I think I am not hard to please. I am a person who becomes emotional or sensitive about small things, but I will come out of it soon. It is hard to please me only if somebody has hurt me badly. I will forget the issue if somebody apologize for their deeds and try to comprimise with me; I welcome them and accept it with my whole heart.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

hi dal...

i forgot about that other thing...

yeah..i agree..i may be the easiest to please..and sometimes the easiest to fool...

but once my trust is broken...oh boy...you'll die trying to convince me.

I feel I am easy to settle for less as even between me and my husband, it is always me who has to compromise. I personally feel it is not growing up having not much in life which has made u the way u are. Because I hv come across people who suddenly finding everything in life, turn nasty and become big show offs. Most probably it is because of your caring nature that you put other people's wishes before yours.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

Hi vanit...

I agree with everything you said there...

when you care so much for those who are dear to you... you always put their wishes above yours...

and most often, their happiness becomes your happiness too....


myLot reputation of 81/100. Archie0 (3139)   ranked 3,964 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

As a woman myself,i say Woman hard to please...really.....of course we are. Woman want to feel love and appriciated.If your feeling insecure about this all, tell her how your feeling and see if you guys can work it out. If you continue to live on like this it will bottle up and thats not good. Tell her before something happens.

Hi patafgold, I'm definitely easy to please, and love the simple things in life. However, I must say I need the Internet, and my DVD player, but I don't think that's asking too much.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1670)   ranked 392 out of 35,410 in people  3 months ago

oh mipen...don't worry that's not too much to ask nowadays.. computers and dvds are somewhat turning into necessitites if you agree with me,..lolz......


I have the cheapest mobile phone..while my son uses a phone 5 times worth than mine...

I have a nice phone too, but i just keep it in my locker coz i think it's too complicated to use..........lolz
