people

Relationships with people are something I have always taken with a very laid back approach. I give all people the benefit of the doubt and bestow them with my utmost respect. Got a crazy idea? I'll support you. Been hurt badly? I got your back. Afraid of showing weakness? Cool, I'm full of weaknesses.

Honestly, who doesn't want some form of respect given to them?

What I feel I am learning these days about "adulthood" is that I am pretty naive and wrong about these relationships. People like to test their boundaries and see how far they can disrespect you...

A comment here. A comment there.

No harm right? If you can't even reciprocate even a LITTLE respect back or to anyone else for that matter, you hurt me. Well I am not cool with it. I am sick of people who constantly seek to "prove" themselves by lessening the people around them.

Is everyone really that fragile? Most definitely.

Well I say DEAL WITH IT. We are ALL scared. We are ALL vulnerable. We don't know everything.

In "adult" world, you find that you get let down more often.
