Since last week, the answers to many of your questions were thought-prooking, honest, reflective and well-written, I decided a few more good ones would serve you all well.
Keep in mind, these posts are private, they are read only by me and each of you and thatI will, as I did last time, answer them as well.
They are also a quiz grade, so take your time and THINK.
1. Do I ever settle for less than I know I deserve? If so, why? If not, why?
2. Am I judgemental?
3. Am I mostly positive or mostly negative about things? Why?
4. Do I pray only when I want something?
5. Do I have a high expectation of other people, and their actions? If so, why? If not, why?
Think think think. And when you're done, think some more. <3
When I am feeling lazy or meloncholy i will accept things as the come. So yea I do settle for less than i deserve sometimes. When I do im usually depressed or something that varies. Im getting better at trying to get what i deserve but who really knows what we deserve to begin with. So i probly accept less because more might scare me or something stupid like that.
ReplyDeleteWhen I judge people its because of how they act up front. So yea im pretty judgemental when people come across in a bad way to me I judge them harshly. Though i always give people the benefit of the doubt. If they bother me i usually judge them more harshley but usually when i judge people its for the better. The way i judge people i always think of what their point of view is like and how much similar it would be to mine.
Depending on the situation i am mostely positive. Sometimes i can get negative though when things seem to bother me two much. Even then i accept the negative feelings i get and use them to make me feel better. Since i feel bad feelings like that atleast i can use my boredom or whatever to make me less bored. So i guess i am a mostely positive person all around. Nothing really brings me down unless it is cataclysmic.
No, praying as I've learned doesnt fix anything or give me anything. Though it probably helps people accept patience over being to impulsive. When i was younger I used to pray until faith just became more of a burden then a blessing. Praying is just one of those things that only works if you believe in it. Since I dont believe i dont pray because whats the point? The little satisfaction it provides is quickly let go.
When i expect things out of people it depends on what i expect. When it comes to things i dont expect anything because i know people will let you down. They cant always be there to help you out because they have their own problems. When people are there for me i just appriciate the short term help they provide as if it's nothing. Since i would consider them to do the same for me.
I have to say that sometimes when I don't feel like striving for the best, i'll settle for less. Only with small things in life that aren't really significant will i settle for less. If I don't get good seats at an event or I didn't clean the yard perfect, it's not a big deal to me. Now, more important things I will do my best for like school work and things along those lines. I'd have to say i'm judgemental of people, whether i'm aware or not because it's natural for people to judge others. for example, if a guy with a camo shirt walks by there's no problem, but if a gang banger walks by, I'll pay close attention and i will be well alert of their presence. I guess I discriminate others that rub me the wrong way at first sight, and judge them before I even talk to them. I may talk negative about everything, but I really am a positive person. My self esteem and believing in myself gives me a good outlook on life and my environment. I pray sometimes before bed or randomly when i feel the need to. I don't expect to benefit in anyway, but it eases my mind knowing i prayed for others who need God's love. honestly, I don't expect much from people because I don't go out of my way to please them. If you expect people to act a certain way that takes everyone out because noone is perfect or the same as yourself.I don't really care at all what others do because I worry about me and what I do.
ReplyDeleteI do tend to settle for less than I really deserve, that is because I don’t know what exactly I deserve. I have been put down my whole life and used to feel like I didn’t deserve anything because no one respected me. I blamed myself for so many things that were not my fault. I am getting better at knowing that I am a good person, depression just covers it up and blinds me from what deep inside me sometimes. I used to think why strive for something better when I know no one will give me anything good, I learned that what I thought was wrong and now I do think I deserve good things.
ReplyDeleteI am not very judgmental of other people. I know I don’t like when someone judges me so I don’t judge other people. We are who we are and do what is inside of our hearts. Therefore, if I see someone dressed differently or acting in a peculiar way I don’t judge because I know that’s who they are. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and deserves respect and not to be judged because they are different. Unfortunately, I judge myself way too much, causing myself unnecessary stress.
Whether I am positive or negative about things depends on my mood. Since I have manic depression, or commonly known as being bi-polar, my mood can go from being perfectly fine to extremely upset. I try to stay on the positive side nowadays because I used to be so negative about everything. However as I get older I see the world differently and I know that things can get better. Living with manic depression makes it hard to stay on the positive side but I deal with it.
Do I pray? I used to when I believed in God, but in 7th grade I became atheist. When I did believe I would pray, not only when I wanted something but to just say thank you for watching over me. I stopped believing though because I asked for one thing, that was to keep my grandfather in my live. My grandmother passed away and shortly after my grandpa got sick. I ask God to please keep him in my life a little longer; this was after my whole family stayed in his hospital room until midnight, but that night a little while after we all left, he passed away. I was so upset and mad that I stop believing.
I do not have a high expectation of other people and their actions. I have been disappointed so many times by people that I don’t expect anything anymore. I don’t expect people to keep their promises especially the one close to me. People say one thing and then do another; they talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. Even I do some low things when people expect better from me. We are all-human and do what we want so why expect something that isn’t sure? I just go with the flow and if someone does do what he or she said they would do then that’s cool.
I do tend to settle less for what deserve because i tend to. Be thankful for whatever i get and not complain about it if i dont get enough because you alaways dont have to get something when you think you deserve something.i think at times i am judgemental i guess it really depends on the situation and how i feel on it if i dont agree with some things then i will say something about it .and i would have to say that i am mostly negative towards things especially in school i alaways say i cant do stuff and i wont pass certain Tests but in the long run i alaways end up passing but i know that its not a very good mindset to have because it will eventually catch up to me and i will start to fail at stuff i keep on being so negative about it i pray Only wheni feel the need to pray about certain hings that are going on in my life and when. I want stuff to happenAnd do ihave high expeftations of people and there actions no i have no expectations of nobody let them be the way tthey want to be and live life the way the want they have to learn from there mistakes
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I definitely feel like I settle for less than I deserve sometimes. I think sometimes, most people do, especially in the aspects of love and relationships. For example, when people stay with that jerk or cheater that has been treating them wrong when they are clearly unhappy; they deserve better. I myself am a victim of this problem because on many occasions I have stayed unhappily in a relationship with something when I clearly deserve better, I just don’t have the strength to up and leave. I have even been told by friends that I settled for less when choosing guys to date, and it’s not something I’m proud of, I just think it all goes deeper than just settling. I feel I settle because in my mind I don’t think I deserve better most of the time, because I don’t think I am anything that great myself, but clearly I can see now what is worth my time and what isn’t. I have standards, don’t get me wrong, I just think I let in some leeway sometimes; I’ve got to stop that. Sad to say, I can be pretty judgmental sometimes for absolutely no reason. It’s a girl thing, really, we all judge people, specifically girls judge other girls, when we first see them. What they’re wearing, how their hair is done, how they act; we judge them before we know them. I am guilty of being somewhat of a harsh judger, and I judge people before I really even know them sometimes. I feel bad, but I can’t help it, it’s all part of the whole first impression thing. Generally, I am not a judgmental person though, but I do judge. Judgmental to me are the people who constantly pick out everything about a person, and most of the time negatively, judgmental has such a negative connotation as well. I would say I am observant, not judgmental; I notice the little things and I build my opinions, but I am very open-minded. Oh crap. This one is tough. I guess, I am pretty balanced with my view on things, I am equally positive and negative, but if I had to break it down by percentage, I would have to say I’m 45% positive, and 55% negative. Around people, I have a the-glass-is-half-full attitude, which leads people, general people, to believe I am a positive Polly, but around closer friends, family, and just regularly, I can be a negative Nancy. I look at it as I don’t like to be overly cocky or confident about things, and I’d rather set myself up for disaster so if I fall it won’t hurt as bad. If I put myself up on a high place, leading myself to believe something will happen and it doesn’t, the fall will be harder. I think it’s thinking ahead of the game, because aiming low makes things better. If good things happen I am twice as happy, and if not then it’s no harm, no foul. And this may all seem very negative, but I suppose I am more positive at some points, much more than I realize. Hmm. Thanks for making me think Bunje. I don’t really pray, unfortunately, and when I do it’s only to pray for others who need help. I guess that’s okay, because I’m not being selfish or greedy praying for myself, I am taking my time out to pray for someone else. I do need to pray more often, but I think I get really confused about what I am actually supposed to say when I do, I think that’s what gets me. I don’t know if I’m supposed to ask for things, or say thank you for things, or just say “Hey yo buddy, what’s up?” The whole act of praying to me is as foreign as another language or country so I guess that’s why I don’t pray that much. Last question, hmm, yes, I do have higher expectations of other people, but only people I think highly of. For example, if my friend was an AP student, a varsity athlete and an all around great student, I would have high expectations for her, and I would be very distraught if she just decided to throw it all away. On the contrary, if I knew someone, because God forbid I would NOT be friends with them, who did drugs, didn’t go to school much, didn’t do well when they were there, and acted up, I would not have high expectations for them because you can’t expect more out of people who have no desire to work for it.
ReplyDelete[PART TWO]
ReplyDeletePretty much I have high expectations of those around me and of those who I know have the potential to achieve greatness. What bothers me, though, is when people hold high expectations of me and get really mad at the littlest slip. I am honored to be so high and mighty and what not in the eyes of others, but I am only human so I want to have some leeway as well. I suppose people have high expectations of those who have potential in their eyes. Case closed.
I am my own person and I’m not even close to being the same as other people. I like to get a fair share amount of everything meaning get what I at least deserve. There are something’s that I get that are less than what I deserve in life but sometimes I have to deal with what I get. There are certain things that I think I deserve a little better or something that I deserve that you know you would if it were you receiving anything. Judgmental? I wouldn’t say I am but when it comes to an opinion to someone is a sport then yeah I guess with certain things, I am judgmental. On a daily basis I wouldn’t say I am because I wouldn’t want people to think something about me and judge who I am as a person, a friend and a family member. I know people do it but it doesn’t bother me to the point where I go back at them. I was raised to have more respect and was raised to be an early adult. Judging people doesn’t help solve anything and just starts problems. Everything to me is important in my life and I always want to think positive about things. The minute I start thinking negative is the minute I start to worry and in my life, I don’t want to have to worry about anything. The minute you worry, it takes the whole day away and just messes everything up. If you show people to not worry and tell them what they want to here and just do whatever it takes to make someone happy or to get the job done. I am a baptized Christian and I usually go to church every Sunday. I pray when I eat an important meal or when a football game is happening and I need hi strength, his guidance. I do it also when something is wrong or I’m upset, I apologize if I done something wrong or mess up. Counting on people is a big deal these days in life, at your job, family and friends. I have high expectations for other people because I hope for the best and I know when there is someone that can do a lot and that can surprise you when you ask for something done. I expect people to have good manners and to be polite. The little things are what I expect out of everyone, shouldn’t doubt that at all and that important.
ReplyDeleteI have settled for less than what i know i deserve before, but ive learned a lot from that. Ive learned to put an end to things myself instead of waiting for someone else to do it for me. I think we're all judgemental but what you keep to yourself is what matters. Respect comes first, you may think something at first but first impressions only last so long. At the same time its only human for us to be judgemental.ive always been positive about things, i always look for the brighter side of things when something goes wrong. Its how i was raised and honestly my life has never gotten to point where i couldnt get back up on my own . Ive never failed enough to think negatively. Im not religious at all so i dont pray. When i did use to pray it was to ask and to thank for the things i have and want. I always have high expectations of everyone when i first meet them. Im not trying to be completely racist but no so much black people. We're all born with a brain and for the exception of people born with mental disabilities, we should all be at the same level of education or at least try equally. Unfortunately its easier for someone to dissapoint you when you have high expectations of them which may ruin relationships, friendships, family bonds, etc.
ReplyDeleteI guess sometimes I do settle for less than what I think or know I deserve. The reason why most of the time I either feel bad about asking for more or I just feel like I could have done better at whatever I was working at. I think I can be very judgmental at times. Most of the the time if I see someone I hear bad things about I just tend not to like them no matter what even if I’ve never said anything to them I just chose not to like them but when I actually get the chance to talk to the person and realize they are not that bad as a person I usually like them and don’t Jude them after that. I think I am defiantly mostly positive about everything. When things look really bad and things just look like they won’t ever get better I always ALLWAYS look for the positive. I think life is too short to live negative. I’ve actually recently started praying a lot. When I pray it just makes me feel a lot better about myself and just about life. Its rarely when I want something. I usually pray for my family and friends mostly. I do have high expectations for people that I know can really be something special. Like Zach for example. I think zack can go on and get a full ride to a lot of colleges for either football or lacrosse. I think he’s been blessed with a special talent in each sports and hope for nothing but good things for him. That’s why my expectations for him.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I feel like I give up on things because I tell myself that I can’t, but there are something’s I want to but I try too hard. With sports I always look for that one thing to do and if I can’t do it I will try even harder to do it. With school something’s I just give up on and I know I shouldn’t. I need to start doing what I do with sports in the class room. I don’t think I’m judgmental at all. I never judge people because I would never want to be judge by how I look or the things I do. I feel that I’m mostly positive with everything. Being a captain of the football and lacrosse team, and with being a leader on and off the field with teammates I have learn to never look at a problem negatively, because it gets you nowhere and that it only makes it worse when other people are negative so why help with the negative when you can be positive. I don’t go to church and I don’t pray things happen for a reason and I don’t pray for something good to happen to me it would be the other way around I would pray for something good happen to someone else. Not me. I really don’t feel like I should have to depend or expect something good that a person should do because it’s not me I keep to myself and that’s how I will get through life me, myself and I and no one else. But I do have expectation with professional sports players because they get a shit load of money. Just sayin…LOL..and ems got my back….I HOPE.
ReplyDeleteI have settled for less than I deserve and I don’t know why. I think that in my mind I feel that if I just settle than I won’t be let down because I have at least part of what I wanted. Even though at times I know I deserve so much more I can feel like the settlement was good enough. I can at times be judgmental even though I try not to be. I figure that its part of being human because even though I try not to judge as quickly as you see at times you find yourself judging even in your own mind. Even if it’s just thinking to yourself of how bad someone look or what people can be capable just by a glance. And I know that I have done it. I think of myself as positive people when it comes to other people but when it’s just me I tend to be negative. Honestly when I’m with people I am very positive and energetic, unless I’m tired, I like to be positive with other people because I always thought to myself that who knows when someone will need positivity to make their day. But now when it comes to dealing with me I can be negative and I don’t know exactly why. I never show no type of positivity toward myself because at times I can feel like what I’m doing or how I look isn’t good enough. Yes I do tend to pray mostly when I need something and I don’t mean to but I just do. I have never been a religious person but I do believe that there is a god and I do pray to him when I need him most. I don’t tend to keep high expectations on people because I honestly don’t find a point to being let down when some people don’t even throw in the effort to reach what you expect for them. The only people I have high expectations and hopes for are the people that I care about most, that I know deserve only the best and they have the ability to make it positive. I never liked to look at people and see them do bad at something I know they can exceed at to the highest possible because it makes me mad when people try but they try to fail not succeed and do there best. There is just people that when you look at what they do and who they are you can tell how much they can do and if you don’t see them doing just that then it’s a disappointment and it bothers me. That’s just how I am.

ReplyDeleteI sometimes settle for less than i deserve. i dont really know how to explaine it but i think its because if i did get the part i deserve every thing in my life that happen would seem more real than id like to beilve.
Am i jugmental i would sometimes think i am I do like to judge people before i know them. Its like when you see a kid selling drugs you imediatly think hes someone bad without even knowing the kid. i am sometimes like that though i do try not to be.
Id have to say i am mostly negative about thing i wouldn't want to be filled with hope only to have it crushed in the end.
I cant really say i pray only when I want something its i usally pray for family and friends.
Well I believe I don’t settle for less than I deserve I believe that im reaching for exactly what I deserve. Why do I reach for what I deserve because that’s the only thing I should be reaching for. No I am not a judgmental person. I believe that there is no reason to judge people it’s just a waste of time. To look at someone and talk about them its just not even worth it in my opinion. I am positive about most things due to the fact of a past that will always make me think. Why do I believe that I should have a positive about things because it just feels good. I pray everyday for my food, my family and everything that I am thinking of at the time. The reason I pray everyday and night because I am a Christian. Well when it comes down to making the right choice about something yes have high expectations. It just really depends on the situation or problem. Why would say that I have high expectations because everyone has that in them.
ReplyDeleteI’ve settled for less than I deserved plenty of times. I’m a person who will take what im given and not say to much to oppose it. A lot of my friends used to use me a little to much, for car rides and my boats and stuff like that. I never used to stick up for myself and say no that’s not how its going to work, but I do now. I know what I am and I rarely let my self get less than I should. I am a very judgmental person. I make my opinions on people in the first few seconds I see them. Like right now some freshmen is trying to talk to my little sister and I don’t even know the kid. Though I see who he hangs out with and what kind of guys they are and unluckily for him, hes got a bad impression on me. So yes I am judgmental. I don’t consider myself to be positive, or negative. I am merely realistic about everything. I will never get excited and jump into something, its just not me. Ill wait it out and see all the possible bad things that could happen, as well as the good things. My older sister is in loads of dept because she sees only the positive of everything, and then when life hits her she becomes very negative. I don’t really like being the one who always has to tell everyone that we should hold off on doing some crazy fun thing but its probably better for the end. I do not only pray when I need something. Actually i don’t even really like the thought of asking for things to benefit me. Now don’t get me wrong, I attend two churches and two youth groups a week, so I kind of have a clue what I’m talking about. My leaders say to pray whenever you need something or help, but it feels greedy on the inside of me. So what am I supposed to do in this case? Now that I’m a senior, I do have high expectations of others. I’m tired of total immaturity, and I’m much more ready to except responsibility myself. I’ve gotten a harsher out look on life, and I just want everything to run smoothly. Nothing bugs me more then when I see a bunch of people trying to do something the wrong way. Or even when someone says something that is totally at the wrong time and should never be said. Things like that really bother me. So yes I do have high expectations of others.
ReplyDeleteLife is very different to every person you ask. To me if I receive something even if it is not the best match for me I will take it and be grateful. How am I to know that it won't be my only opportunuity or last chance. I am not very judgemental. I live my life in a very particular way and many others may not agree with it, hell they may not even respect it but its my lifestyle not theirs. Why should I care about the way people live if I don't care about what people think about the way I live? I always have hope even in the worst of times. I might say negative things and say that there is no way, but in my mind I always leave room for a miracle to happen. I am a pretty religious person and am more thankful than wanting. Even if I have nothing I still have life and can love. My expectations are pretty high for people and their actions. I can look in a history book and see where we came from and it upsets me greatly that we really haven't come far at all. Instead of changing the world's game we only changed the rules.
ReplyDeleteDo i settle for less then i deserve? Ya sometimes i do. There is just them day were you dont feel like doing nothing and you just dont care thats when i dont really care what i deserver if its less or mosre then i deserve. Its just me i really dont know how to explane it. Secondly ya sometime i do think i am judgemental i think that people can just look at you and they get there own opinion. But you know what its not what poeple think of you its what you think about your self and if you like the person you are them it really shoulf not matter what people think about you. thats my opinion because you know what noone can change who you really are you are your own person. So i dont look at people for the way they dress but i get to know them and then i see what they really are about its not about judge them its for who they really are. Thirdly i try to be mostly positive about everthing i do. Ya everyone has there days were they dont want to be bothered with anything but thats life. Sometime i am negative towards alot of things but i mostly try not to be its really hard thought because there are alot of things going on in my life. But for the most part i think i am postivie. To be truthfully honest to everyone i dont go to church and i do not pray. I know its really a bad thing but its not how i was brought up my parents told me if you want to choose your religion then thats your discion. But i really dont get the point going to church every week to just sit there and yell at people say "a Men". I am sorry i just dont get it so no i dont pray for things that i want if i want somthing i work my ass off to get it and i think from being the person i am has thought me not to depend on noone but myself. I believe that i have high expectations for my family members but thats about it. Thats only because i want them to be like me. Not to lower themselfs to a point were they dont care about life but to want to succeed in like and become bigger and better people. Nit have to work every day of there lives and ever get a chance to live their lives to the fullest. Thats my expections for other people are live life to the fullest and be happy because life goes by to quick to waiste it on thinking about what other people think about you live like as it was was the last day on earth.......
ReplyDeleteyes i can say that i settle way less than i deserve, but i would say that more about my past.
ReplyDeleteI am a stubborn person and i sometimes just block everything out and do what my mind tells me to do.
I know there were PLENTY of times when i could have made better decisions but i chose different.
Instead of doing things that were better for me i did what just made things worse for me and its my
fault because i am the one that put myself in those situations.
Everyone in some point in their life have been judgmental, so i know that their we're times when i
myself was judgmental.I don't think i am really judgmental anymore because i wouldn't want anyone to be
judgmental towards me. Whether its something that someone does, the way a person looks etc i don't really
judge in anything. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but i keep mine to myself. Everyone is different
and everyone have done things that im sure people judge so why judge other; i think its just a waste of time
and its good for nothing.
i am mostly both positive and negative about things. If its about me i always think negative i would say depending
on the situation. If its something bad im mostly always negative. But if its someone else i am always positive
because i don't like when people worry about things and i want them to feel good instead of stressing or being
paranoid about things.
Sometimes i pray when i want something but when i do pray its mostly about everyone i care about. If there
are times im not doing so great i still pray for everyone else and sometimes for myself when i want things
to get better for me. If i know something is going on with someone whether its family or anyone i pray for them
because i think almost everyone (good people) deserve to be happy.
I do have high expectations for people and their actions because i believe if you can do whatever you set
your mind too. I don't like to see the people i care about do nothing and not try. If you don't try that tells me
in the long run your just going to be a mess. Words are just words its the actions that matter. If someone is
saying they are going to do this or that, they shouldn't say it they should just stop talking and actually do it.
In life you have to make moves not just sit and wait to see what passes your eye. If you set your mind to something
keep on going until you get to where it is that you want to be.
1.) I dont settle for anything less than I deserve. I believe that what is rightfully yours should be fought for.
ReplyDelete2.) I try my best not to be judgemental. I believe everybody should have a fair chance and their history doesn't really bother me, I believe I get the good side of most people when I want to mainly because I tend to not judge from the start.
3.) I tend to stay more on the negative side of things. I've found that if going into a situation expecting the worse, the outcome will generally leave you pleased because you expected worse out of the situation to begin with.
4.) For me praying isn't something I do much. When I do pray it's usually for somebody I care about. I tend to not pray for things I want because I find that selfish, things that I want can be earned not basically begged for.
5.) I tend not to have high expectations of people because I find the only person you can truly count on is yourself a person could say they'll do something for me but I don't expect them to. I feel expecting things from others is too dependent and that the only person you should depend on is yourself.
I do sometimes settle for less then i deserve but mostly its because I dont feel like going through the hassle that comes along with getting what I want. Sometimes its just not worth it. If its something I really want I wont just settle for less I will try my hardest to get whatever it is that I want. As for being judgemental of course im judgemental its in human nature, you look at people and see how they live and if you like what you see you will try to get what it is that you like, and if not then you will try to do what you can to avoid whatever it is that you dont like. When I see someone at first sight I will most likely judge them on the way they look, talk, and the attitude they give off. My first impression isnt always the right one. Id have to say its probably wrong more then its right but its jsut a habit. as for being possitive or negative, I try to be possitive whenever I can but somethings just piss me off to the point where its just the person, or envirement that always make that thing or place a negative one. Such as my job, I use to love it but one of my three bosses I just hate he a Big ginger fag, It seems like we secretly hate eachother and his persona just ticks me off, I dont wanna work when he works because he is such a negative person its always bringing everyone down. Not all things are like that, its just one of the few I most of the time try to stay positive because I beleive in trying your hardest no matter what and you cant do that with a negative mindset. Praying, Im not gonna lie I dont do much of it I should, but not really any at all. Other people and there actions are there own choice. Out of my 18 years of living I've learned something and thats that theres only one person you can rely on 100% and thats yourself. other people, bestfrinds, or familly may have your back 99.999% but theres no one that you can rely on more then yourself, now hopefully if they have the choice to help you or if you need them they will but its there choice and they ultimetly have the choice and sometimes you will be shocked to here that they wont. Thats why I dont really care about others and there actions because you can only control your own.
ReplyDeleteYes I believe I do settle for less than what I deserve because I know I'm never going to get what I want.
ReplyDeleteYes I do believe I am very judgemental. I think I'm judge mental because I see a lot of things I don't like from people. Like I don't understand why they do things to make them look plain stupid. For example, if I see a couple like sticking their tongues down each others throats, I judge them because you shouldn't be doing that in school. It's just disgusting and should be left at home or some where private. Yes I always see the positive in everything. And that is how everyone should look at things. You always have to look at the bright side. Life is short and there isnt anytime to be negative.
I don't really pray a lot. Only times I pray is either for a family member or if I really really need or want something. I do it of it's something so serious that's going on. Other than that I hardly pray.
No I really don't have high expectations for people and their actions because they aren't important to me. If it were a family member yes of course.
I settle for less sometimes. I feel as thow when i settle for less that i would get things much easier. Depends on what i have to do and what it is that i have to strive for. Im somewhat judgemental. When i see like handicapped i dont judge them because i dont think its right to judge someone that is mentally and phsically disorder. When i see people like that i tell God to bless them no matter what. Other then that when i see normal people acting what there not then thats when i become judgemental. To me its all about being yourself and if you do that then theres a high possibliy that i wont judge you. Im most likely think negative about things. The reason is because when i think positive about things with my luck it doesnt go as plan. So i figure if i think negative about things then things would be the opposite of negative. I dont why thats just my luck with things. Im not going to lie but i do pray for stuff that i want. Especially if its to the point that its serious. When my prayers do work i thank God afterwards because without him i wouldnt of got it and i wouldnt of been on earth for 19yrs. I dont think I have high expectations for other people. You never know when they might not come through for you. The most you can do is rely on yourself and stay focused on what you going to do.
ReplyDeleteI have to say most of the time well all the time I settle for less. I take the easy way out. I guess you can say I’m a lazy person at what I don’t want to do. If it’s something I like to do I’m going to work to my ability. I guess it’s because of all this new technogly and the stuff I do. So yes I know I settle for less than what I deserve. I know that I am not judgmental because I really don’t care. I might judge someone by the way they act towards me or around me but other than that it really doesn’t concern me. So I don’t think I am judgmental. Almost all the time I am positive about things. The only time I might think negative about something is if it might put me in a death situation but when you think about it you are in a death situation every time you step out the house. So I like to stay positive about things. Honestly I don’t even pray like that. I know that’s the wrong thing to do but I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Sometimes when I’m eating with my sister on the table she always tell me to pray with her. I think I do only pray when I want something. There was a time when I felt like I was going to die. My stomach was acting up and everything that I ate come right back to the toilet. That night I told god I promise him I would never drink again if you just heal me. Then the next day I was healed. So yes I think I only pray to god when I want something and that has to change. I don’t really have a high expectation of others because people have their own minds. They do want they want. The only thing I would expect would be respect from another person that’s all I would ask for nothing more. So no I don’t think I have a high expectation of others.
ReplyDeleteYes I do feel sometimes that I tend to settle for less, I know that it isn’t always good to settle for less then I deserve but I have the tendency to be a slacker and take what is given to me un stead of striving for what I deserve and could receive. Yes I am very judgmental if I see someone and how they act I already build what type of person they are in my mind without even saying one word to them it’s not something I do on purpose it is almost like it comes natural. Although I do judge people even if I think I wouldn’t like them based on my prejudgment I still give them a chance to change my opinion of them but I have to admit that most of the time my prejudgment of a person is usually correct. It’s hard to say if I am mostly positive or negative but I guess if I had to make a guess I would have to say that I am usually more positive than negative I feel like you have to be in order to survive in this world. Life is always going to have ups and downs it depends how you dwell on each one that impacts if you will be happy or not. If I spent my whole life dwelling on all the bad things that happened to me I would be miserable so I rather try and over look the negative things and dwell on the positive things that I experience and I think it make a big difference and is a better way to live. Most of the time when I pray it is for when I want something but not all the time sometimes when my mom tricks me into going to church I pray and it’s not just because I want something but for the most part whenever I pray by myself it’s just because I want something. When it comes to my expectation I always have a low expectation of people I think this is better for me because if you put your expectations low there is only room for improvement and surprise and you value what you are given because it’s more than you expected most of the time. But if you have high expectations for people you are usually just setting yourself up to be let down so I find it easier for me to let low expectations for people.
ReplyDeleteI dont usually settle for less than I deserve because I know I deserve the best. But in the case of me and this guy I stayed with him because I didnt think I could love someone else or was just scared to get hurt again. But with him I kept getting hurt even when were not together but yet I keep being in contact with him and talking and we act and do things as if we were together when people tell me to just completely drop him. I think thats an example of me settling for less. I never judge people...usually. I judge when someone gives me a reason to judge. Either you did something to me or did something around me and yes sometimes just hearing something about that person. I am both positive and negative. I dont really know how to explain that. I come from a very very very religious family. My parents always pray before eating or just whenever and plus we regularly go to church and at church we pray. But me personally I believe in God and in the Bible and I consider myself Christian but not like my parents because the are JWs. I honestly can say I dont pray unless Im told to. Even when I need something or Im in trouble I do not pray. I technically dont live life as a Christian being told im a fornicator and a liar and thief and just stuff like that so maybe thats why I dont pray. I do not have high expectations for other people because I dont give 100% myself. But it really just depends the situation I guess.
ReplyDeleteI never settled for less, I never did and never will. I was brought up to think I am the best at everything and nobody’s above me. And was told if you have to settle for less than don’t settle at all. Since I was brought up like that, I will never settle for less. Only the best. I can be judgmental at time, but I think everybody can. Well it depends on the mood am in, to see if I am going to think positive or negative. But over all I think I do seem to think positive. Only because if your negative person all the time nobody won’t want to tell you anything about their life or nothing. To be honest I never really pray, when I should be doing it 5 times a day. But starting when I get out of high school I would be getting on my dean. And doing everything I am supposed to be doing. It depends on the people. But I do only if they have the same for me.
