50 Honest Accounts Of The Hardest Metaphorical Pills People Ever Had To Swallow

I've been guilty of this many times and I'm not afraid to admit it and apologize.

NOPE. NEVER!

Actually, I think that’s usually the case. Point the finger, there’s two pointing back!

Feel free to send me to my room until I calm down.

You forgot "income". Your partner is not there to provide you with an income, or to pay for your whims.

You not only walk through life together you also have to carry your partner at times and not be afraid to let them take control when you just can't do your part.

How does someone who helps you and pulls extra weight for you and vice versa not complete you?

I had to end a relationship because of this. She became dependent on me to make her happy and the weight of someone else's well being became too much

This is why I am single. Providing and paying for everything is not enough, still have to cook the food and wash the dishes while doing the laundry and taking care of the animals is so much better than having to do that for someone else and getting nothing in return, unless you count grief and anxiety with some sex thrown in

What friends?

Oh. Yeah. It was hard realizing that. Feeling like someone is your best friend, but they’re really popular and you’re pretty sure you aren’t they’re closest friend…

I have three siblings. Two sisters and a brother. I didn’t realize that they thought of me differently than their other sibling until I was in my mid 40. They are all full siblings and I’m only a half. I was very sad when i realized they saw me as a half.

True dat.

I never viewed this as a bad thing, I just accepted it. X is my best friend but Y is X's best friend etc

It's good for people to figure things out on their own, even if it takes them a while. If someone is often having others solve their problems for them then the person will have a more difficult time problem solving.

Nothing wrong in making suggestions or giving advice if they ask you for it, but do it gently and respectfully. Their path of life isn’t identical to yours, and what worked for you may not work for them. Besides, no one wants to feel like they’re being dictated to and ordered around. Make sure you let them know your only speaking from your own experience, but that the final decision is theirs, no theirs alone.

Everyone deserves the dignity of making their own mistakes.

Everyone should learn their own lessons, at their own pace

It's hard being the oldest sibling who never did anything wrong & trying to guide your younger siblings down the same path. Like in 10 Things I Hate About You " not all experiences are good".

They say you die twice. Once when you physically die and then again when the last person who remembers you dies and your name is spoken no more.

"And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, Let them know you realize that life goes fast, It's hard to make the good things last, You realize the sun doesn't go down, It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round" -The Flaming Lips

I'm so aware of this.

I don't care about being forgotten after I die. I'm bitter about being forgotten in life, especially by people who insist they care(d).

Once I learnt this, it was one of those things that went on the list of 'Wish you could unlearn/see'

By the time you are old, you will discover you only like maybe four people on the planet. And two of them are dogs.

That makes a lot of sense. also the picture looks dope

It took me a very very long time to accept this fact. It's also very freeing. Now I don't have to stress out and try so hard. Besides, who wants to be liked by everybody? I think that would be more stressful than being hated by everyone.

Sometimes I think the people that want to be liked by everyone have no identity. They shapeshift their likes and energy etc. to whoever's company they are in. These people are draining to me because they believe they are being authentic but they are really just mirroring constantly.

It's just hard sometimes to remember you are that person.

This is so true. It can be painful when you really wanted something. But if you tried your best, at least you won’t regret not trying, doing, or giving it your all. You can still be proud. It’s nothing to be ashamed of not being the best (There are always those that are, were or will be better.) or reaching the goal on a particular attempt (There are often other chances and different ways.)

And that’s when you 1) either improve upon failure, if it’s improbable or 2) accept it. You did everything you could have, but life doesn’t bend to your will. It’s a sad truth, but we’re only humans. If it involves the loss of something or someone out of your control, take time to grieve and process it.

Its not. We always miss the mark. Ive learned to stop being a people pleaser. I now go swim with the fishies.

You won't get to heaven through works, even if you try your best. All you need to do is accept God's grace through faith and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9).

And that's okay

I literally just watched a documantary about the German steel magnate family Krupp, which said that the company founder made losses for decades, with asking others for funding. Eventually the business took off, and they ended up being the richest industrial family in Germany.

Yeah I think the whole soul-mate theory was kinda overrated!

Never get with somebody because they will be perfect after they change a few things about themselves. People naturally change with each other as the relationship progreses.
