It seems like I am always fucking up when I am trying to do what is right! Trying to be nice! Trying to be kind! Does anybody understand that and feel the same way?
 
When people do something expecting a certain response, they will almost always be disappointed. Maybe it isn't about the "doing" but instead the "expectations"?

Is this about something specific?
I do lots 'right', but in the eyes of one particular person I will always be a fuck-up.
My solution was to get rid of that person.
 
I see what you mean but in this case it is friends I have. Man it is getting hard. They want me. They don't want me. I can't do this or I can't do that. They always either one or the other seem mad at me. Maybe you're right.

You're an adult. Stand up for yourself.
Tell them to either accept you as you are, or gtfo of your life.
Simple.

Toxic people no longer inhabit my world either.

So many user/losers, no time left for that.
 
You know I don't think it is a maturity thing and my age doesn't factor in. I think it is more of a self-esteem problem.

That whole needing to please to feel whole thing...

Yeah, no, don't waste your time or tears or sleep.

They wouldn't ever do it for you.

Don't give to get or accept a give to get.
 
Sometimes I think I sabatoge myself by wanting everybody to like me when in reality I know that isn't possible.

Do you mean here at Lit or in the world? I hope that you do get to the point where it doesn't matter what people think of you but I haven't been able to get there myself. I beat my vulnerability down as ruthlessly as possible but it sometimes shows up. It just can't be helped and it probably shouldn't be.

I think your right. I do have trouble with the real world and here. For a while it is seems easier to just be invisible. I mean I like myself. Some people are afraid to be alone but sometimes I prefer it.

The freedom comes when you just let go and be yourself. Yes, you will never get over wanting to be liked but eventually you have to come to terms with not changing yourself to get there. It's not worth it.
