It's a Personal Thing

Good Morning Blogfam!


I know it's been a while and I just want you guys to know I haven't been intentionally neglecting you.  Life happens all the time and there will always be times that require adequate prioritization.


There are many people who don't realize the effects that their mental stability (or instability) have on others.  The way they treat others is normally based on their convenience, patience level, and ability to be respectful.  I believe people who behave this way are the ones who don't have the ability or desire to look deep within themselves, realize their issues, and try their best to correct them.  Consequently, what ultimately ends up happening is they find themselves constantly causing others pain without even realizing the severity of their actions.  This is basically just another form of selfishness on so many levels; they are being selfish to themselves by not taking the time to get in touch with their issues and they are being selfish to others by causing them to feel the effects of their instability.


When you get to a point where you know exactly who you are and have the ability to embrace it, it becomes second nature to treat others as you would like to be treated.  I don't think anyone will ever be free of issues because our attributes, as well as our flaws, make up a huge part of who we are.  Therefore, if you find yourself being faced with someone who constantly hurts others to make themselves feel better, then you know that they are having a major internal conflict.  I have realized that there is no one who can help a person relieve themselves of their own personal misery because it's something that they have to do on their own.  The best therapy for people like this is to give them space to figure out who they are.  I have found that when you stick around too long thinking you are being supportive; eventually you end up being the person requiring therapy.
