It’s been an interesting few days, I must say. I have realized how very sensitive I am to others’ and their needs. I have also come to understand just how much I give and need to be given back to for fulfillment.
When I start to care about people, I tend to give too much perhaps in hopes that by giving everything they could want they will never leave me. However, I also feel it is part of my nature to just be giving.
Last night my dear friend said to me that she is often disappointed and sad that I surround myself with people who take and never really give back to me or at least give me credit for what I give. It was a very true statement and one of the reasons perhaps that this is the case is due to my lack of boundaries or at least firm ones in terms of what I need in a friendship.
So, I am working on this….I’ve already started and will see how I go. I definitely want to surround myself with people who bring positive energy to my life and need to be strong about doing so. π
