Quote:And you're not a therapist, either - you don't have to teach these people how to handle those situations or try to "expose them to new things" in the hopes that they'll like it. You're not doing it to help them - you're doing it to help you. So bugger the fuck off
I think that many people fail to realize that what they want might not be what other people want. You can't decide what's best for someone else. You have to respect what others want, and understand that world doesn't revolve around you and your desires.
I'm a really outgoing person, and I suffer from "loneliness hangups" from time to time, so I might have been guilty of pestering a few friends, but I also try to understand what my friends and acquaintancies want. A no is a no, and deserves respect.
