Life does not let you down, people do...

[InOne]

True eh

[setanta]

I'd argue that you let yourself down really. The only thing you have any control over in this life is your own thoughts and actions.

yes, I absolutely agree. People can treat you badly but you have control over yourself to be able to walk away from those people

[InOne]

Not really, everyone depends on someone to some extent

[setanta]

Nope, not at all. You are in control of what you think... of you own perceptions regarding life. Nobody else. Once you start thinking that way you lose control.

[Beastie]

I rather be lonely than with people who let me down. That is why I only have a few close friends.

You can not control what other people do but you can control your actions and reactions to what they do. If you blame other people for everything, you will be miserable because that is out of your control.

[InOne]

O.o you guys are crazy lmao

[King Gizzard]

People let you down to an extent but then again it all comes back to you and relying on them

[InOne]

So lets all get rid of emotions!!!!

[Niamh.]

O.o you guys are crazy lmao

No, it's the truth, you're going to meet lots of wankers and lots of nice people, that's life. If you want to be happy try to focus on how you handle yourself or react in difficult situations cos your own actions are the only ones you can control.

No emotions = bitterness.

I think at times I can be bitter. lol

[Beastie]

Err I don't like controlling people. My sister is a control freak! However it is only a good thing if she is organising something but she gets too out of hand. I just ignore it and fade away into the background when she gets nasty.

[Crimson Dynamo]

trust no one.

Not at all. Emotions are good in one way... they indicate problems in our psyche that we need to deal with and I'm telling you, you wont be dealing with them by drinking right now: that's just feeding a vicious cycle of negativity and those negative emotions will only increase rather than dissipate.

Well, i'm gone and losing everything lol

[setanta]

Well, i'm gone and losing everything lol

I don't really understand what you mean by that? What exactly are you losing Joseph?

[Beastie]

Well, i'm gone and losing everything lol

You have me Joe :)

[Jack_]

Cheer up Joe, we love you :hug:

[InOne]

I.........................am, always good ;)

[Kerry]

Life sucks at times but you have one and need to try and get out of this negative attitude :( Trust me I know what it's like, you know that.... and I know how it can be to dwell in it which is awful but you're not yourself right now and it's worrying

[Stacey.]

yeah, this is totally true :(
never thought about it before really.

[MrGaryy]

I'd say they're one in the same tbh. People letting you down is a part of life, therefore they are one, as well as you letting yourself down by not having the sense to react in the right way to them.

[30stone]

Without let downs, you wouldnt find anything as exciting..
If everything was good with people all the time it would be boring.

People let you down yes. You can let yourself down by not controlling emotions..

I agree, it's the bad times that make the good ones shine.

[MeMyselfAndI]

People at school let me down alot

[Stacey.]

People at school let me down alot

me too. :sad:

[MeMyselfAndI]

me too. :sad:

Ha were so similar:joker:

[GypsyGoth]

You never had to see girls from school again once you leave there. Thank goodness.

[bansheewails]

People you need to find good friends! I have 3 friends, that i dont see very often any more, I have known them for more years than I care to admit! But i know if I rang them in an emergency they would be here in an instant. Through sick and sin!!!

[Jords]

I agree with Joe that people can let you down rather than life itself. Nobody would want to live their life lonely so we have to let ourself rely on some people, sure you may be able to control emotions well and only really trust a few, but I dont think the blame rests at your own feet entirely for allowing yourself to fall back on those you thought cared.

Saying that you shouldnt then feel sorry for yourself for too long. Just stand up tall, look 'em in the Face and say:

I'm that star up in the sky,
I'm that mountain peak up high.
I made it,
I'm the worlds greatest.
And I'm that little bit of hope,
When my backs against the ropes.
I can feel it,
I'm the worlds greatest!

:)

Aww Jords. You brought a tear to my eye :bawling:

That was beautiful :)

[Stacey.]

Ha were so similar:joker:

we really are. :D

[Shasown]

Do not rely completely on any other human being, however dear. We meet all life's greatest tests alone.

This.

[InOne]

Hmmm yeah, it does bring out the good times, but it does make you bitter. People can't grasp that people don't give a **** I think.
