I don't mind phone calls. I don't mind messages, as long as it's interesting and worth my time. I mean, lately I've been annoyed with my family. When they call me too much, it's time to end the calls for a good two months. Then we'll call each other, hang out and laugh. Then it's bye-bye for a few months again.
I realized, now, that distance will do me good. :)
So when I get a message and they're asking me to call them back, I don't. They don't say what it's regarding, so I don't call them back. I don't wanna call someone back and get myself stuck doing some shit I don't wanna do. Especially when it's a Saturday night and all I want to do is relax at home. I know this cause they want something from me and frankly, I'm a bit tired of helping out. I don't think they appreciate me as a person, or respect me as a person. They don't respect my talents, my dreams, the way I see things. I'm open-minded more than ever in my recent years and I don't see that my family understands how to be open-minded. My mother will always be a wonderful person, but will never understand that my 28 year old sister, who still lives at home, needs to have a social life and may come home late....like 3am? And she'll tell her that she can go out cause she's old enough, but then later contradicts herself. Then my sister gets upset. Well sis, it's time to move out the house!!
I like it when people call me cause they want to call me. Because they want to talk to me and they care about me. Not cause they need me for something. And all my life it seems that that's what I do. Is help a person out when they call me. And I'm done with it. I will not answer my phone anymore. I had this friend who called me when she had no one else. And I was nice to her when she came over, but I realized later in time, that that was what she was doing. And I started feeling like all her calls were pitty calls. Well I ended that relationship by never calling her back. Never emailing her again and disappearing from her life for good. And if I ever run into her on the streets, I'll be sure to look her straight in the eye and keep walking.
Whatever, I just don't like calling people back when they normally don't call me in the first place, without telling me what it's regarding.

What Is This Regarding?

I always have my ringer off. I get the message eventually. My family is the same way....just want me to do something. I love them, but I have my own life to lead.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I used to have this brother in-law who would call me to ask me to help him out. But instead of just asking for help, he'd try to make it seem like he was doing me a favour, by giving me this opportunity. Bleh. That just pissed me off. Did he think I was a idiot?
Well, it was to move furniture. And today is my day to relax. Plus I had a headache and also, I seem to be very angry these days about this.
Oh well, let's see if they call me when I leave the city.
you're describing every phone call I get from my Mother. She has nothing to say, our conversations are empty and totally annoying - I can't stand them! And she calls several times a week, what the hell does she want from me? Ugh, thanks, I feel better, I apologize for venting.
Vent all you want!!
:)
Lani, I'm very much like you. If someone doesn't say what they want in a message, they go to the bottom of my list and I may or may not get to them.
And friends are folks who call you just because they want to, not because they need a favor. I had one friend try to throw the guilt trip at me by telling me friends are those you do favors for. Huh? And where were they the last year of my life before they needed the favor??
Thanks for sharing this. You are not alone in feeling this way.
People....(*sigh*)
These days I'm just thinking of myself. There are just certain people I ignore these days.
