Posted by MichelleTyour Pisces Sun may have a lot to do with why you are more prone to these things ...
Cap moon friends,
Do you get burned out on always being there? Do you get tired of the people you spoil and take care of not appreciating you or failing to show their appreciation? Do you get annoyed that the people who care about you give others attention and forget about you because you are tough and don’t seem to “need” it, but you really do? Do you get self conscious that people think you’re extra or annoying?
How do you pull it all back? How do you stop all of that and at the same time not look like a bitter angry person, because when I pull back and change, I get accused of being angry and different.

Posted by sultrykittyyou got that right - for whatever reason we seem to be very adept at manning those types of borders - and then on the other hand we don't quite understand why others aren't like that as well or why they can't be like that - we do better being around stable, normal people who are neither givers nor takers but "sharers" because the best thing I think we do is share
I don't, really. Few people who really count don't recognize when I need some loving. I give because I want to, not for any recognition. In fact, giving low-key is something that makes me feel good.
I suppose I could get upset when people expect too much or don't reciprocate, but I really don't think about it.
Edited to add: if someone starts taking advantage of my nature, then I'll cut them off. It isn't that I want a pat on the back for doing something for you, but never getting gratitude for it makes me not want to give it.

Posted by MichelleTdamn, i've been feeling this way towards myself and my relationship with others for months and the way this was phrased really hit it in the head.

Posted by DeadInside@Deadinside I think the problem I have with that is that in the past when I go cold, I’m the asshole. Maybe it’s a male female double standard, I don’t know. I know that the change perceived is never well received.Posted by MichelleTwhat's the problems with thatPosted by DeadInside

That’s what I usually do. Trying to not get there.
It’s like one day I just flip the switch to off and I’m the coldest meanest bitch you ever met.click to expand

Posted by MichelleTyou could just be dealing with immaturity in being able to express your emotions - been there myself - it gets better with age and wisdom and trying - you can say no with a smile on your face, it doesn't have to be a death stare (which we know so well lol)Posted by DeadInside@Deadinside I think the problem I have with that is that in the past when I go cold, I’m the asshole.

Posted by MichelleTI don't get angry and bitter. I just take a rest for myself. Take a holiday socially and work wise.

Posted by DeadInsideIt is getting worse with age. I don’t want to be like this though. I think, as another poster suggested, I need a break.
