Who feels unappreciated and simply frustrated?

Asked by snapdragon24 (1597points) September 5th, 2012 from iPhone

Today is one of those days friends…I just cannot take it no more. Sure we all have one or two friends we can trust and who love us…but why is it that there is always one bad person who consumes us…who craps on us no matter how much we give? How to get out if you’ve created an attachment for an endless case??

If you are in love, or think you are, with someone who treats you shabbily, then you walk away.

Refuse to be a victim any more. If someone is crapping on you (whatever, specifically, that means) move out of range.

And remember this question? “Hey guys, ever find yourself in a situation where you just dont feel the same about someone and they just dont get it? How do you go about getting the message through? What if its a friend of yours?”

Perhaps you need to examine how and why you form attachments or relationships. Examine yourself first.

^^ this lady speaks the truth.

People will treat you how you allow them to treat you.

In my opinion, you should be more selective about the people you keep confidence with. It is sort of like investing in the stock market. If you have a loser with no hope of future gains, get rid of it and try something else. Not that complicated. Friendships benefit both parties, not just one.

I cant really say that anyone who craps on me, consumes me? So perhaps you like it? I don’t mean to sound flippant here, but it is worth a thought. I am not sure what you mean in your last sentence, but any relationship can be gotten out of. Specially if they are crapping on you. I’d crap all over them and bugger off personally.

Did someone just compare the layered complexities of personal interaction with capitalism?

I finally blew up at a friend who found fault with everything. She also had no sense of humor. If I told her a joke, she’d tell me why the situation was illogical. We are no longer friends and I’m happier.

Just don’t let them ‘crap on you’. It’s simple, if you think about it. Friends are supposed to be there for us (‘cause we’re there for them too), and make us feel better when the world makes us sad.
Um… I used to have a ‘friend’ who would always ask for my help (I mean almost every day) and I was always happy to help her in everything, because I thought she was a friend. A year later (when I still thought we were friends) I found out she had been saying bad things about me (behind my back, of course) and that she didn’t want to see me again, because I was a ‘bad influence’. And she never apologized for anything, or said thanks for what I had done for her. Never, not even once. We don’t talk anymore, and I now realize that I’m much better without her. I don’t need mean and selfish people in my life.

I feel really unappreciated and frustrated at the moment. I’m taking a break from college to try and get my emotions together, hopefully find a job, and basically just to sort out some personal issues. My dad doesn’t appreciate how low I feel, which just makes me feel even more down.

If this is about love, I’ve been there, done that, got the tear-stained pillow. After a whole year of pining after this jerk, I realised, “Actually, I don’t need to feel like this. I can just move on.” If they don’t return your feelings then it’s so easy to walk away and aim for bigger and better things, trust me. Well, it’s not at first, but one day it’ll become easy.

If someone is crapping on you it is up to YOU to kick the poopy little puppy out of your life. Nobody can crap on you unless you ALLOW it.
The only frustration I feel is trying to earn more money in this deflated economy, otherwise, I’m a happy camper.

@lookingglassx3 thats how I feel – unappreciated in love and frustrated in life…I recognize when I’m being pooped on… and its true that its important to be selective…its just for some reason I cant accept how some people can take us for granted, especially the ones we’ve done so much for. If im not letting go of certain things it only because I want to understand…but yes eventually we should give it up and move on…Im just going through a sensitive phase. Everyone here is right :)

We can all feel this way at times @snapdragon24. In the end we can only control our own behaviour and feelings. Feel better.
