Sometimes, you just have to give up. I'm not referring to giving up your dreams or giving up in achieving your goals. Sometimes, you just need to step back and allow things to happen. You've done your best. And, you can only do so much. Especially in cases where you try to help someone (who asks for your help). Well, you think they're asking for your help but all they do is (pretend to) ask for advice, complain about everything, and never listen. I don't know. I can sympathize, but come on.
Oh well. Some people like to wallow (aka narcicissm victim syndrome - but that may be an extreme comparison). It's time to step back. It may sound selfish but sometimes I just refuse to listen anymore. I'm just tired of hearing the same thing over and over again. Tired of repeating that you already know what you need to do. Tired of hearing you acknowledge the fact that you know what you need to do.
Tired. Tired. Tired. Sick & tired. You just have to move on at some point.
