Have you ever given up on anything? Are you a quitter?

I have given up on some things this year, but I don't consider myself a quitter. This year I tried to have a business of my own, as my husband and I own a different business together. My business only lasted 4 months, but I gave that up because we were losing money on it and my time was better used helping my husband. I have given up on trying to have my husband's family like me or even pretend they do, and I have given up on trying to like them. I am working very hard on giving up stress. These are all things that I have given up, but I see them all as positives. I do tend to fight for things for too long before giving up. I'm actually trying to change that.

I've given up on a few things, mostly because I realized I didn't really want them, I just had thought I did. I don't think I'm a quitter, it's just that there is only so much time in one's life, and you have to use it for things that you value.

Well i'm not a quitter eather and i think i sometimes gave up on something but later picked it up again.I have that when i play the piano sometimes it just doesn't work and then half year later i just understand it.So i give up sometimes because i know at that moment i have learned enough and then later i pick it up till i've learned some more. If it's something which i really really want i won;t stop untill i've managed it.

Although I'm not usually a quitter, ctry, I do tend to sometimes put things on the back burner and come back to them later. I guess I have just the right amount of conceit to hate the feeling that I've been bested by anything, LOL. With the deaths of my oldest sister, followed by our mother over the past year, I had hoped that my other remaining sister and I could return to the kind of close relationship we once had. It has not happened, though, and it makes me sad. I don't know why people sometimes turn on you when it seems that they have so much more than you do, but it happens. I would say to you don't give up on the possibility of a great relationship in the future. I firmly believe that there is someone for everyone-you just have not crossed paths yet.

No, I never quit. My parents always said I was a complete failure when I was a child so, I would never want them to be right about it. My brother says "She could fall down in a pile of sh!t and still come up smelling like roses". I signed up here on MyLot to make money. Well, I haven't made even 5 bucks yet but, I'm not gonna quit. I have too many friends here now. See, friends are better than money so, again........roses.

I am a natural born quitter. I quit brownies, the fifth grade band, debate, forensics, you name it I quit. I even quit college! I am trying to change. I don't consider myself an old dog yet. So here I am day after day working toward making my dreams come true. However when you are quitting or giving up on someone else, that is more natural, after all no matter what you do, you can't change other people. Be happy with what you have. :-D

First that old dog has to Want to learn that new trick. I have given up on things that for some reason it would never work.If that is being a quitter, then I am a quitter. But this "quitter" is happy and has less stress in my life.

I think maybe I have never given up anything,once I make up my mind to do something,of course it is achievable within my capacity.then I will do my best to accomplish it step by step.so do not give up,as long as you do it,then you will achieve your goal.believe me,believe myself.

i don't like to admit that i am a quitter but actually i am. i have no courage to confess love to the one i love, i can't fullfil the work i should do with determination and energy. absolutely i am a quitter.i hate to be such a person. i don't know how to change?how to persuade myself to insist ? it's really a tough problem that need determination and energy to solve it. cycle again!seems people who know the answer nerver need to know ,and the one who doesn't never know.lol good luck:)

I'm not a quitter. When I'm disappointed sometimes, and it is NOT in myself, I'm giving myself a break. I know I'm talking to the wrong person or I am in the wrong backround. I might be back again or move on.

Maybe I'm young. so i never want to give up anything. i know i have time!it's enough for me to understand the world. I hope that you can get youself back soon. good luck......

Generlly speaking if I was in that case ,I certanly would try my best to get until get it.but the questions is what you will dealling with if for love normally i'll try brave enough to run after so i just could give you some advises if you love he/her if you think you two love each other just tell her/he it's a better ide for you two so if you feel you have right time just tell him/her so come on come on you will do it

I've given up on a lot of things, actually. The major one in these past few months would be my friendship with my former best male friend. I've realized by now that it is too late to salvage anything.

I try not to quit but sometimes in life that seems to be like the only option. I like to press through and when I get to the other side, I feel so complete and proud of myself.

I;ve given up on a friendship after apologising left right and center and have not gotten a positive response even though they said they have forgiven me. It was over something really silly and minute but still this person has or will not answer my callsr emails so I have given up. I have asked for forgiveness and apologised and that is all I can do. As far as I am concerned, she really wasn't a friend if she is acting like a child. LOL

Careerwise I don't totally quit. I may put one on hold when it's not working out, so I can try something else. But I'm willing to try the old one again at a later time. As for relationships I did quit on my ex-girlfriend. I did my best to reconcile with her but when I realized she had no more respect for me, that was the end of it. Goodbye.

Ctry, I really know where you're coming from, having problems and trying to resolve them to no avail. I've given up many times, but somewhere, deep down inside, I know I'll keep on trying because it's what I really want. People in general are very hard to change, but the way I look at it, as long as I can sleep at night without regrets, and I did my best, that's all you really need. You mentioned "because my kids and I are doing great", that's a super positive statement and a very important one. I am a fighter but sometimes you just have to back down and let life take its course, sometimes there is reason for this and eventually you'll see it.....take care my friend, I understand.
