You will notice I manually fix double quotes that do not post correctly as I fixed your post which had posted by me posted by PS.

Quoting someone by using quote button, who has already quoted someone does not set off quotes correctly.

Sometimes my unselfish heart can steer me the wrong way and I often attract toxic people that use me and treat me pretty badly.

My close friend s a good example. She will call me every few months and keep me on the phone for hours bombarding me with all of her problems with not so much as a "how are you? or how is your son?" leaving me depressed and stressed and then disappears from my life another few months until I guess she needs me for more unloading. This clearly isn't a friendship but because she is going through stuff I can't seem to break her loose.
I think people sense this in me then go in for the kill. I can be easily manipulated, but am becoming better with that as I think that has to do with my self esteem and self worth.

I have a friend just like that! She calls me when times are hard and she wants to "hang out" which really means cry to me, yack my ear off, not care to actually take my advice after listening for hours and then send me on my way or say she'll call back. She calls back next time she needs to talk to someone.

I think throughout my whole life she has never once asked me how I am doing, or cared to give me input on anything. She's a really sweet girl don't get me wrong, but I just know I better not answer the phone unless I am up to the task lol.

First of all, HIIIII!! I missed you

Secondly, ya they all seem sweet, the extra sweet ones you gotta be careful with because they are usually the full of sh*t ones. If one tries too hard it is a red flag. Your friend is a toxic person, just like my friend, I'd tell you to cut her off, but I can't seem to follow my own advice so, just don't take her calls all the time. Lrt her find another unknowing soul to bombard with her problems

We have faults, or, flaws, whatever you want to call them. What are we gauging these on anyway? What is "the right way" to be? Is there really such a thing?

Say you get really mad about things that others may find trivial, like, finding a drain full of somebody else's hair in your tub? Or, somebody cutting you off in traffic?

Or maybe you aren't phased by really big things, like your house burning down or being robbed, or a death in the family?

Are either of these situations "wrong"? Should the easily angered CHANGE and be more easy going? Should the laid back person take things more seriously?

Whose rules are we following in life anyway? Aren't we supposed to be following our own?
