So, I am happy-go-lucky. For real. I am a bit of a people pleaser. I want people to like me, and I want people to be happy. But when  folks start getting attitudes over nothing. Or show their behind because they are in a funky mood, my kindness goes out of the window. Fast. I am not the one.

I am just too giving and loving and thoughtful to put up with people’s crap. I can get irritated. I don’t always have the best tones. But I always start out on the right foot. I just don’t like to be miserable for misery’s sake, and it seems that some people do.

This entire world would  be better if people just considered others. Consider how a tantrum or attitude makes the other person feel. If for just a sec to consider that a silly disagreement because of feelings that are unresolved or being a grump just because is unecessary and it can hurt the other person.

What good comes out of holding onto unvoiced feelings and not regarding how others feel? How can anything be accomplished or closeness happen when there is constant drama or throwing deeds up in people’s faces?

If one does something for someone, they should do it and let it go. If they have an issue with giving or being considerate to others, wouldn’t it be better to just not do nice things for others if it is going to be used for every argument?

I was raised by a giving mom. We were middle class and not overflowing with cash, but we did okay. Right now, I am definitely not wealthy, but I can pay for my needs and help my college-aged daughter.   It is very rare, though, for me to bring up all I do for her or anyone. Unless I am really pushed or disrespected.

The point of this post is that it seems that sometimes the only person to really consider you is you. That is why it is best to give and love without expectations, and when receiving, do not let anyone use the gifts as a tool to manipulate or to bring up as a guilt trip.

The older I get, I understand why people turn to pets for company.

What is your experience with people and their lack of consideration?
