    I’m 20 years old. For a long time, I’ve lived by the notion that I would never regret giving effort, in whatever I do, wherever I am.

    I was wrong.

    I’m so tired. And alone. Things I do, the extra effort I give, is used and wasted. Constantly. I used to not need some form of social reward for doing something good, but now? Now I can’t bring myself to do anything for those who don’t do something for me.

    My nerves are fried. I’m so tired of playing Casper; just a helpful ghost, barely there but always supporting.

    I don’t feel it anymore. I don’t feel love for much. Not for the world around me or the people in it.

    I don’t even want to feel it anymore.

    It has never been worth it to be compassionate. I have never been happier when I am kind.

    Give money, never hear from them again.  Help out, will fuck me over some other time. I don’t want to be around people anymore.

     

    I don’t know what to do. I don’t even want to try anymore.

    Dear Julia:

    Better not be that helpful person that gives and doesn’t receive. We need to be appreciated for what we do for others, otherwise, we feel empty and we get emptier and emptier.

    Relationships need to be win-win propositions, otherwise they are unhealthy, the one doing all the giving loses and the one receiving is never satisfied.

    “I  don’t even want to try anymore”- better  not try anymore lose-win, or lose-lose interactions and relationships, better try the win-win kind.

    What do you think?
