I've had many people come and go in my life , some have taught me a lot too. Some of these I do think of as self indulgent and don't seem to change. One lady who was once a friend for many years only wanted me when life was difficult or problematic for her. She would never make contact unless this was the case. She would come round and cry tell me all her worries and woes and difficulties that were in her life, yet would never contact me again to let me know the outcome. I distanced myself from her , for my own wellbeing( 30 years this has gone on ).After a year of no contact she asked to see me again, I knew life was being difficult again ...so we met again yesterday....guess what , it was the same old story, woe is me , poor me etc. This lady never asks me how I'm feeling or coping with life even though I am on my own. Yet she has 5 grown up children and numerous grandchildren , brothers sisters and a supporting husband, plenty of money , lovely home etc etc.
Waking this morning I am glad to be me , I too have problems yet am not a self indulgent person.
Do I sound hard ?

having been in a similar situation I think I can reply, you give people the benefit of the doubt and give them another chance thinking they may have changed but often they don't.

I also don't like to think of myself as a wimp. I'd prefer to call myself caring and compassionate.
