I was having a conversation with someone and I realized something about myself. we were talking about people and expectations. I understand now why I get so upset with friends and perhaps the reason I am no longer friends with someone that I used to call my best friend. I depend on people too much. Someone told me that " If you depend on someone and expect them to always follow through with what they say, you will only get hurt in the end because its human to make mistakes and if you constantly depend on people, they will only let you down time and time again." I found this to be so true. I always depend on my friends to be there and to do what they say, and time and time again I've been let down. But perhaps if I didn't expect so much from them, it wouldn't hurt so much when they didn't follow through? It kind of makes me think about things now...because anyone in the past that would constantly let me down, my solution was to cut them from my life. I figured if they weren't in my life, I wouldn't have to deal with being let down and therefore avoid any hurt. I guess the only thing I can do now is to be more understanding and not to depend on people as much as I did.....?
