Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy
I fall into the same trap every time… in nearly everything I do.
Jobs, relationships… everything. I’m usually loved by my employer or friends, appreciated for what I can offer, but not respected as a person. I get taken advantage of all of the time, whether it’s being asked to go out of my way to perform a duty that’s not part of my job description, or being expected to always be around and available whether my friends reciprocate or not.
My wife and I were discussing this flaw of mine again over the weekend when I received FOUR text messages from different people from my former place of employment who were asking for things from me. I’ve been gone now for over a month, and yet they still hit me up, like, “I need this, give it to me.” And nine times out of ten, I don’t have the juevos to tell them to shove it.
So, my wife and I practiced me being mean over the weekend. I would scream at her to, “Get out and pump the gas now!” And then I would want to frantically apologize even though we were kidding around the entire time.
