the occasional dark-side of helping people
POSTED ON: June 23, 2011 @ 9:32 PM | 0 comments
Maybe my first official post here shouldn't be something that's slightly rough to swallow, but I can't really fit this into Twitter, so.
A few days ago, I was helping people purchase something. Most of the responsibility relied on me, and most of the work was also done by me. All they had to do was say, "I want that," and I'll have to help. Of course, I was the middle person who could connect them to the seller, so it wasn't a good thing to refuse to help just because I don't want to.
But it brought a lot of frustration on me, a lot of burdens. Sacrifices too. I never thought these would all follow the string behind me trying to help them out. There were also a few parts of where I wanted to get angry at them for asking me to do this, but I can't blame them, really. And refusing just won't cut it.
So? I grit my teeth and follow. Other than preparing myself beforehand for the frustrations to come when I agree to help people, I don't really know of any other solutions. :\
