pushed aside again (and will happen again i am sure) - i have been made to feel like nothing by quite a few people. i know i have to be the one to make myself feel special, but when i do - someone else pisses on my mood or my "accomplishment" with their rejection, ignorance, criticism, neglect, forgetfulness, or even doing one better than me (which is ALWAYS the case). i am just going to accept the fact that unless i stop trying it will always be like that. and after all these years of trying and it not happening with me - not reaching my true potential and truly being happy and content with myself and not allowing others to piss on me....well, then....there it is - then it wont happen. too many people in this world are fakes and string me along for whatever reason. screw them. i am so tired of people telling me one thing and saying it to someone else and forgetting about me, using me, being "busy", pretending to like me - or like me just enough, etc - i have been made to feel like nothing. and i let them do that to me. maybe i am - and maybe one day i wont feel like that anymore but for now i do feel like that. i look at other women every where i go and wish that could have be me - with their looks, success, inteliigence, happiness -that jealousy persists and i cant shake it. but im just really mad at the fakes in my life - the people who string me along just enough for whatever reason or act like they care when really deep down i know they dont.

Hey Foxforce, I know how you feel when it comes to people pretending. I feel so cheated, and it hurts. The pathetic part about me, is that I'm actually seeking out these posers and pretenders, because I can't stand to be alone anymore. Isn't that pathetic?
I hope that you are able to find contentment and not allow others to rain on your parade, geez I'm so not helping. I'm so sorry that I'm not much help, but I'd like to send a hug or two your way. You're so not alone in feeling the way you do, if that adds any comfort.

Foxforce, I think that it is part of some peoples nature to keep others down. It's like your trying to climb out of a deep well and they are at the bottom pulling you down to keep you from getting free.

Your "true"potential is yours and yours alone. No one can keep you from that but you. Piss right back!

Unfortunately it is most of human nature to use others. Some scientists call it the 'fight of the fittest' of evolution.

With that said, I will call out one thing. You have the power to recognise these 'fakers' and better yourself and humanity as a for doing so. Why? Because you can be the one who is different. You can be the one who cares, loves, gives, and is selfless. In my opinion, it takes a strong individual to stream against the majority of humanity and be truly kind. And I see that in you. People will take advantage of that, and for that I am sorry. And I know that pain of being used very well. But I also pride myself on being someone who doesn't use others.

Grow from this pain, become stronger in your sincerity. Learn the traits these people have and collect people of good virtue in your life. You will get through this.

*hugs*

sometimes in life, we rely on too many people that cannot take the fact that they are important to us, and we need them to be supportive and helpful and be an ear in this world, and they either cannot take it, understand it, or don't want to be bothered. Until THEY need the same things in return, then they come-a-running, looking for those things, and wonder why they cannot find it. We are all looking for something or someone to just be there, unconditionally, for each of us, the same way that we are for others, and when they cannot be bothered, it is a huge sting to the pysche and the emotions and the mentality to each of us. The only thing we can do is to be honest with ourselves and to look out for ourselves, and build up our own self-confidence and self-esteem, and build a deep respect towards ourselves, and then, and only then, when others see the confidence and respect that we have for ourselves, can they truly see what we are made of. We are special people with deep emotions, and while others know that, they do not truly understand what we are made of, and do not grasp that we are very fragile people both emotionally and mentally, and they just don't know how to deal with it, so they run away, because they cannot face their own inabilities. Believe in #1, and show it, and don't let anyone tell you or try to make you feel any different. ((((HUGS))))

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
