People are difficult to deal with for me, especially trying to fix things for them or do more than I can. I feel bad for not helping but I end up letting people manipulate me. I know I shouldn't but I really want to help, I've been trying to figure this out ever since I made friends and such
I don't know if my actions are what I want or if I'm just going along with what others say and I struggle with breaking this trend. It's caused me a lot of trouble and while I'm aware of it and trying to fix it I still struggle with it. I've been more unstable with anxiety and depression that gets in the way of school and work. I'm just working towards bettering myself until things get better.
There are some two faced and manipulative people in and used to be in my life, including partners, parents, and friends. I grew up with manipulation so I normalized it and let people treat me less like a person, to maintain their mental state. I've just barely had a better grasp on recognizing it within the last two years but I still fall back into that loop with people.
Today is my birthday, I don’t celebrate it usually because of bad experiences that happened around this time. Just filling most of my extra time with projects to stay busy.
