You learn something new every day

I have recently come to terms with the fact that 

you cannot possibly please everyone.  

There are people you will come upon in life who are selfish and un-caring for other people and nothing you can ever do will make them truly happy.  That's just life.  There are some people who complain about everything and don't ever want to put effort into doing anything for anybody else that is too far out of their way and once again, nothing you can ever do will make them truly happy.  So why do we as people try so hard sometimes to please these un-pleasable (if that's a word =P)  people??  These people are no benefit to us, they only contact you or spend time with you when they need something from you, whether it's friendship, companionship, someone to talk to, or even help with something. When they have other people to use, you are nothing to them.  So when they treat us like this why do we try so hard to keep pleasing them??  I believe that it's because they are "hard to get".  Just like how us women sometimes play hard to get when there is a certain man we want the attention of.  Something about this person and them not treating you right makes you want even more to be closer to them and spend time with them in order to earn their favor in some way.  Why we think like this who knows...but it's true.

So, if you are going through something similar where you're struggling trying to be friends with or just trying to make someone like you, give up. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with being kind to them and being there for them, you actually don't help them by being there at their beck and call. Sometimes these people need to hear no.  Every relationship has two sides and both have to be trying and putting in effort to make it a successful relationship.  If you're the only one putting forth any effort it seems, just back off for a while and maybe they will finally realize that you were there for them and just maybe they will appreciate you one day. If not, just kiss em goodbye and go out and make new friends with people who need a friend too.  I'll bet there's someone out who's been praying for a friend and you are just the one God will put in their life.  :)

God Bless!!
