And I’m starting to really believe that too. It seems like no matter how hard I try to not upset people, it happens anyways, especially with my girlfriend. I always somehow make her upset at me because I don’t do something she wishes I would or what I was doing wasn’t enough. I’m always trying to be better but it feels like I’m not making any progress. It feels like me trying to be a people-pleaser just doesn’t work anymore and I don’t know why. I don’t really have a problem with putting other people first since I’ve always done that, but now it feels like even when I try doing that I just make things worse. I feel like I’ll never be better, and I’m stuck as a cactus who hurts anyone who gets too close.
