Is This REALLY An 'Obligation'?
 

Have you guys ever felt like you HAD to do something, just because someone else wanted you to?


My mother has BEGGED me to go to an Astrology Class with her tonight...She insisted that Seri go, too...Neither of us WANT to go...But, we both know that it would piss her off if we refused...My mother REALLY wants to go, but she will not go alone...


I'm sure you guys have had to deal with some 'forced obligations', too....Do ya just grin and bear it, and tell yourself that it won't last long?...That's the only way I know how to deal with my mother......And Seri is REALLY pissed...

All the time! But only for close friends and family. I just suck it up and keep repeating "It's not going to last forever".

I will sometimes do things like that. If it makes the person happier, and if it's a person I want to make happier, then sure.

But if it's some jerk I'm fed up with....well, to put it simply, no way, no how! Contrarywise!

Example: "Heyyyy, let's get together for lunch so I can psychologically abuse you and waste your time because I'm angry at the world because of something traumatic that happened to me when I was six, I am such a victim, boo hoo hoo, now surprise!, I will make you a victim too, because it supports the idea that I have power in my life, and in doing so I am also taking the role of my abuser in a futile effort to make myself feel better about what happened way back then, oh God I hate being meeeeeeee."

Response: "Sorry, I have booked the time to process my own childhood traumas. Go away."

I go to work everyday so I can buy food to keep myself alive... to make a few other people happy.
