Why do people want you to do what's best for them and could care less if you are doing what is best for you?

Because that is "your" job. People can help you, if they have the means ....but that does not take away the primary responsibility of who takes of you ....."from you".
The only exception to this is a parent taking care of a minor child. Apparently, there are many who are not leaving this "minor child" role in their lives. And expecting society to continue to "parentally" take care of them ....after passing 18 years of age. The blame I feel, lies with parents ....not preparing their children for the outside world.

Because there are a lot of selfish f¥¢kers out there. Which is why I have learned to be more selective on who I allow into my life. & as soon as my spidey senses start tingling & I sense BS in the air I hand out walking papers. Simple as that. I used to be a sweet heart who was always helping every one who needed saving, Until I learned that most people are full of $hit & will take advantage of you when given the opportunity to do so. I am a much happier person now that I am more selective. Sorry about the profanity, I just tend to speak what's on my mind.

Because if they aren't handling theirs correctly, why would anyone take their advice?

Because the idea of you living your life as your own being is unacceptable to conformists. Individuality is a scary for most people

You know what I often wonder about that too...and still doesn't know the answer! If I had a go at answering, I'd say out of selfishness.

Some people are completely self-absorbed and lack not only empathy but common sense when it comes to situations requiring compromise. And many control-freaks are insensitive narcissists.

Or it could be they think everyone should live their life the way they live theirs...

Thanks oldfarmguy :). I think you hit the proverbial nail on the head...those who have no life live vicariously through others. Plus I do think there's a lot of validity in what you say about them wanting others to live as they do. Ugh...I think keeping to oneself is often best. Thanks again.

try to stop being ''peoples pleaser'' and set limits on others around you. Its polite to care about people around you and please them at times.. But dont forget yourself! if they dont treat you the same way you treat them then thats their problem.. dont let something like this put you down. Stop basing your self worth on how much you do for other people. You gotta learn how to say no :)

Thank you. Here's the deal though, I kept saying, "no" to a situation to the point that I finally lost it. Nothing worked for explanations regardless of how calm I was. It's just depressing knowing that what I said fell on deaf ears. Thanks for your input.

Because they don't care. Drop them on their *** as soon as possible. They dont deserve you as a friend or as an acquaintance for that matter.
