in life, the only one can pay most of attention to you is yourself .

yes i do agree with u sally. we all should take care of ourselves. talking about mothers, my mother takes good care of me but she never makes an effert to have the best for herself. i do not like this kind of stuff, she knows she has a low blood pressure even though she works all day long. i always hate this, she never takes care of her self. many a times i feel bad due to this habbit of hers. last year she had a feaver i took her to the doctor, there the doctor shouted on me as why dont i take care of my mother. she never takes care of her self and i get blamed.

I truely agree to you. If you believe in yourself, You can do wonders. If you feel you cannot do something great you can never do. So its the way you think and yes nobody can understand you and your needs as best as you can. My mom is very close to me and she comes to know if I'm happy or not sad. I feel we have close friends and relatives who know us better and can help us when we are low in our life.

I agree we know ourselves better than anyone else knows us, but sometimes others can recognize needs we have that we either refuse to recognize or just have not yet identified. So, yes - and - no.
