Things can be going great and then, boom, I manage to piss someone off, let them down, just make them upset. What the hell do I do about this? Why am I such a screw up that things can be going great and I manage to completely change the tide for the worst? I just wish I could actually make people proud and happy. I don't know, **** it.

You'll never be able to make everyone else happy. Forgive yourself for the screw ups, you're human and no one is perfect.

Hello So leigheas: Well... pegasus is correct. But I know what you mean. I lead a pretty-much solitary lifestyle at this point. I'm married. But otherwise I have no family or friends, by choice. Still... I do something similar to what you describe. My wife is SO patient! And I honestly try to be good to her.
 But I have so much frustration & anger bottled up inside me that I'm constantly messing things up... sometimes just a little... sometimes a lot!  And then, afterward, I just feel like a complete waste of skin... even more-so than usual!  I know I'm just human & I should try to forgive myself. But, at this point, it's hard...

I can totally relate. I can usually start things off on the right foot and make a good first impression, but it usually catches fire and turns into a disaster. Sometimes I wonder if I have a 6th sense for unintentionally picking up on the exact thing(s) that will push someone's buttons, the more I try not to the more likely it is to happen.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
