I just don't care anymore.

[manlymatt83]

Honestly, I'm so tired of dealing with everyone else's crap and not worrying enough about myself. I pay for other people's dinners, I let them stay at my place, I let them come visit me and stay with me - I put an end to it.

I just told people who were supposed to come this weekend not to come. I just told people who were coming for Halloween that they can't stay with me, so find a hotel room. Honestly this just feels so good.

EDIT: yes, I admit I am a pushover, which is how I got myself into debt in College. I'm almost out now, and I refuse to let anymore people take advantage. Screw that.

You are still taking me to dinner though, right?

 

[purbeast0]

maybe you should stop being a pushover then?

 

[yllus]

Holy crap. Any more of this and people might start suspecting you have a backbone!

 

[moshquerade]

[Vonkhan]

I'm truly proud of you, it's not an easy thing to do isolating yourself from society, but the payoffs are well worth the effort.

[Special K]

You actually went into debt in college through loaning people money?

I used to feel like that, but then I just stopped stressing myself and learned how to discern between being used and just helping. Letting people stay at my house from out of town is helping, not using. That's pretty weak to cancel on something like that since it could have screwed up the budget they set aside for the whole trip. Hotels aren't cheap. I respect needing to isolate yourself somewhat to gain some more self respect, but being a dick doesn't make it any better.

This man speaks this truth. And when OP, you say you don't worry about yourself enough? <Kanye in Jesus walks> Huh? </Kanye in Jesus walks>

Congrats, you are in the final stages...

1. Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening."
2. Anger: "Why ME? It's not fair!" (either referring to God, oneself, or anybody perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
3. Bargaining: "Just let me live to see my child(ren) graduate."
4. Depression: "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"
5. Acceptance: "It's going to be OK."

You make a good point. If I was your friend planning on coming up to hang out and stay with you, and you all of a sudden told me that I can't and would have to find a hotel room I'd wonder wtf was going on.

Are you letting people stay over all the time and they're eating your food or something?
