The Harshness of Expectations

[ajmrowland]

I dunno. I feel like people are always asking everything of me-my habbits, my diet, chores, a paid job, school, eagle scout projects, remembering shit that was supposed to be done two years ago-and whenever I ask the smallest things-such as using their brain(@ whiners on the internet), helping me frame a couple posters, going to the movies, this, that, even stuff they suggested in the first place-none of it gets done and I'm left with disappointment(or i'm left waiting for a reeaallly long time, but that's still only partial) and, after months to years of tolerance, the urge to break something. And then I feel like a bad person with anger management problems.

I sympathize.

Me = similar problem in RL.

Sometimes it starts to feel like a blame-the-victim game.

If you're talking about people walking over you, don't let them. Don't ever. Tell them if you have to that they've been taking advantage of you and that's why you're not going to just take it anymore, do all the work yourself.

The next is old advice, but learn a way to give yourself a break. If all you do is serve others, stop it. Start being selfish. Maybe shave off a few responsibilities. If other people don't understand, don't bother explaining it.

There is nothing more important than being in a better place than you seem to be. I've been there and I have broken things. Get out immediately, immediate action is called for.

And above all, come back here and tell us if anything changes.
