Kind of the opposite...like too much is expected of me. I feel like I'm about to crack, but no one seems to believe it :roll:

This is exactly like me. Exactly how I'm feeling lately. And no one here believes I'm slowly cracking and breaking.

Once in the past, very much so. I believed Paul Westerberg's line- "The best thing you never had"- could be my life.
Then it became, "oh, I could be new".
And now it is.

Thank you for the reminder, decides2dream, and may you find your way true.

I like the alternate lyric "if you'd fucking let me..." - that about sums it up for a lot of relationships I think.

Yes. I feel both the ways that have been described in this thread. And then I just outright ignore it and do what I want to do anyway. Then usually things do turn out better than I even estimated. Honestly. I say, let them underestimate you, and watch them get blown out of the water when you exceed their expectations. Good or bad.

i see these as entirely separate things.....one can be underestimated and STILL have too much expected of them.


i just feel....stuck.
have for awhile, still trying to figure it all out....and i think out in the 'world' at the moment, i am feeling undervalued, underestimated.....*sigh*....

i must say though, i just love, love, love the beginning of that lyric...
"oh i could be NEW"


because, yes...i could!

I completely relate.

I went through a period of feeling extremely unimportant, unappreciated, undervalued....like everything I did every day was for someone else; all my free time was spent doing favors and helping out friends and family and when I wasn't spending time, I was spending money on these people. And I was emotionally EXHAUSTED and completely overwhelmed. Then when I was in need, no one was there. No one seemed to give a shit. So then I just decided 'fuck em'. I know my worth, and if other people can't see it or don't appreciate it, I don't really need to waste a lot of time making those people happy. Now I just do what I want, when I want to do it. Not to sound selfish or anything because I still do spend a lot of time doing things for others, but that is because I WANT TO, not because I feel obligated.
Of course, that's not always an easy rule to stick to, but I find I've been much happier since I decided to put my energy where I CHOOSE to---and I let go and let things fall where they may. Sure, I go through periods of things sucking and people sucking, but overall I am much better off now.

I make my own happiness, all the other fuckers are just along for the ride

I think I underestimate myself sometimes. Making a decision as to what to do is heavy, there are too many paths in front of me.

I told someone I need a break from being dumped on and they told me "You're like wonder woman, you can do anything." I think they're underestimating my ability to kick their ass.

You can be new. We all can. I know this. I'm just too tired to make the change right now :lolno:
