My mind drifted to this article I read a few years back, it was talking about the people in the world, referring to them as 'clean fairies' or something like that-the people who clean up after others, notice messes tat others don't, etc. And that we should be thankful for these people.
Well, I'm one of these people, and it ****ing sucks. People are ****ing slobs. People are self absorbed ****s who usually don't think about anyone but themselves. I've grown tired of it.
Yet I'm still a god person and can't help but continue to do good and want to (and do) help make the world a better place and make situations easier for others (like the old camping adage, leave the place cleaner than when you came or whatever). I just wish more people were like that. Too many people these days just assume/expect that someone else will take care other their mess.
Same goes for other things. I'm tired of hearing people ***** about **** they want fixed but never do a god damned thing. It makes me so angry sometimes!! I of course get over it and continue doing good things for people, but it's so god damn frustrating, people have the tendency to walk all over you if you don't push back- then act like you're the one with the problem. ****ing world of psychos!

Hello, AngstyLady. Seems setting appropriate boundaries is a key:

How are you helping anybody by patronizing them and then *****ing about them behind their back? Like my mother said, help with an open heart or don't help at all.

I'd just like to start by saying your username is ridiculously appropriate for this sort of post.

On topic though, I used to think similarly to you in the sense that nice people are essentially taken advantage of by the general population. What I've noticed more and more lately though, is that there's a very significant difference between nice, generous individuals and what I like to call "welcome mats."

Be a nice person, but have limits. There's nothing that should stop you from being kind to others but refusing to accept others being unkind to you.

some people are messy because frankly they don't care whether it gets clean, not becuase they think or expect someone else to take care of it for them. That's an assumption that's feeding your irritation. Different people have different priorities in life. Some are not so vigilant about keeping everything in order all the time.

RE: Nummy : This was more of a rant, out of frustration . . . .

Yes, I have gotten better over the years of being more offensive- I used to be more of a door mat . . . Ugh, I hate when I let me irritation/anger get the best of me. Even though my name may suggest otherwise, I am one of the nicest persons you'll me- I usually keep my anger and irritation to myself and am all about helping others and promoting a more peaceful world in general.

Hi AL, I think I understand just how you feel. You're always the responsible one, the one who cares, the one who makes an extra effort...and no one, or almost no one, in your life gives a hoot. It gets tiresome and damned depressing. I support your rant entirely. Hang in there - you are not alone.
