Are You Hard To Please?

wow kun..you have a point there..i like that "we tend to lose more than what we think we want, if we are too hard to be pleased" setting your standards too high would end you up with nothing..right?

It may work at times but it depends on how good you can handle those standards.

there's always an expcetion to everry rule...thats why we are given free will and flexibilty......

That's the way I am when it comes to looking for a man. I think it pays to be picky in this case. Kathy.

true kath..better safe than sorry..lolz!

oh i may be easy to please.. but definitely when it comes to having relationships...I do not really set my standards too high...but i definitely woudl not go for anybody just to have someone in my life... that is one thing i am so careful about.

Indulging in things we don't need is okay once in awhile, it's just part of having fun really!

Hi there Some... I guess as we advance in life,..we learn more from it...and we realize how much better it is to be happy with what we have... I could eat anything too...and would even try to save as much money as I can.. but when at times we want to go out and have something else..i think that's not too much to ask

Hummy, my kids like the boxes better then the toys that come in them too!! hah and the paper at xmas, they just wanna roll around in the paper and get in the boxes!! I can't wait to do more xmas shopping, now i got the bug!!

hi there humb! LOLz...your mom could have just gotten you a box!!! that's so funny..... but sure you do sound like you find joys in the simplest things.. that is a good thing... keep it up!

hi tbv... i could understand... there are people who are generally easy to please..yet when it comes to particular things like food, or realtionships [erhaps..they're not..sometimes thet are hard on themselves by putting much expectation on themselves and strives to be perfect... but as long as we dont becaome unhappy by raising our expectations too high...we'll be fine.

Yup. Agree with that.

hi there Shr!!! i think it's good not to set our standards and expectations high. coz we would be very disappointed if we dont get what we want... i think it's not bad to have high expectations on yourself and strive for perfection.. just dont let it be the cause of your unhappiness if things dont go the way you want it to.

Hi Little! Oh yeah it depends on how others see or interprest your ways. as long as you enjoy your relationship with those you care about and they're not complaining...... you're fine!

hi quinn! definitely... when you told me about your ways..i see so much of myself in you... it's not that i cant afford to buy a nice mobile phone...but i am using one of the cheapest brands in the market..i am fine as long as it can make calls and send out messages.... I am using the same TV set i used about 10 years ago...it's still working great..why should I get a new one.. (okay it's not flat screen and it takes a lot of space..but I am fine with it).. I drive a second hand car..it still works great. and in as much as i have opinions of my own..if i know inforcing it would lead to arguments or debate..i would rather steer away form the dicsussion. That way,people dont find it hard to be around me at all.

hi there cyk! true...I agree with you... if we set our hopes or standards too high...we often end up disappointed... it is good to dream high..or aim high... but always leave room for imperfections..this is not a perfect world!

Hi Frederick!!! oh wow .. this is probably the first response I had tht is different from the rest... I believe it is okay to want certain things, and to want more... all humans come to that at one point or another in their lives... yet just make sure these high expectations wont be a source of your discontent and unhappiness if you dont get what you want...

hi there omiam... it's good to know that... you must be easy and comfortable to be around with... people would more want to be around with people like you than those they find hard to please.

hi xchyler... hope you're having a great day as well! great you have that kind of personality..it makes people love to be around you... it is good to be flexible really... if you set your standards and expectations too high on people and things...and situations as well... you'll end up being disappointed if things dont go the way you want it to.

hi there cutepink... yeah..you're right..there are situations where it calls for flexibility..and things that you have to put high standards too...

hi there greatsa... Yeah...we should our goals in life...for us to succeed... but if we dont get what we want...may it not be the cause of our unhappiness.. it is good that you know how to appreciate what you have,a nd be happy with it...keep it up!

I think you're mostly right. I think I should also relax any notions of perfectionism I have in my own self as well, though... That is to say, not become lax or lazy, but not to have ridiculous expectations of self or others. Good reply, thank you. dr...

it is okay to set our standards high on certain things..just dont let it be the source of your disconetent or unhappiness if your dont get what you want... happy mylotting to you!

Hi there David...i guess it goes to tell that you are a great and intelligent person... being able to appreciate the simplest things in life is a wonderful thing...the highest form of happiness cannot be bought with money.. But i guess when you expect more form others reflects your intelligent side... as long as you are doing great for what you are now...and not giving the people around you a hard time trying to keep up your standards .youll be fine!

hi sid...! talk about low-maintenance... I am probably the stingiest or okay, the cheapest person in this planet... I will make do with the cheapest brand of cellphone as long as it can make calls.... ... When it comes to relationships... yeah i am so easy to please..and i end up taken advantaged of most of the time....

cell phone you say? heck i have a trac fone....an old one that was given to me. its all i need. I know just what you mean about getting taken advantage of. It happens but I've learned to back off from it when I see it happening.

there's always a lesson learned from everything... okay..with my family i am laways taken advantaged of..and I could forgive that.. but with men.... ugh!

Hi Laura... I think the response was for some other discussion... I do make same mistakes sometimes too...i tend to open too many tabs... but thanks for dropping a response..i appreciate it... glad to learn you're back to mylot after some time... see you around!

i already did! See around Laura.. nice to meet you here!

Thanks for the compliments! I always enjoy chatting with you as well. You can call me Bill instead of Raw if you like, but Raw is good too!

okay Bill... yeah ..calling you "Raw" somehow sounds a little odd...lolz... glad you put up with that.

Hi there raw! You are a very positive person..and you should keep that up... in fact, it doesnt really take that much to see that... we have had exchanges on the previous discussions i started..and I always knew you're easy to be comfortable with!

oh please...hee ^^

not kidding here... and hey..you do know how to blush!

aha climber... doing the psysho-analysis on me... lolz! i guess because i grew up with not having so much in life...i tend to be easily content with what's there... I cannot say i am submissive..i dont think i am... it's different with relationships I guess.. but still, when it comes to that, i am never a difficult person and would always compromise.. i do not have high standards... it doesnt take much to make me happy or even smile.

climber .. thanks for the very nice words.. i must agree with you... my friends say the same thing... and I believe i am... and i intend to stay this way... people love to be around me coz Im easy to be comfortble with.... you can see me by the pay..i have a photo on my profile.

ah just trying to get to learn about you. Sounds like you are a very sweet kind loving person. Is too bad I can't tell what you look like or what you are like in person. But I think is nice you are as you say. Still I hope you would demand true care, faithfulness and complete attentive affection. Its nice you are not superficial and demanding for things that don't matter but I do hope your standards demand you be put on a pedestal.
