: It takes me forever to trust people,,,,,,,,,,,but most times I just don't.

But when I do,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,bam,,,,,,,,,,,,right through the heart.

Maybe it shouldn't be most times,,,,,,,,,maybe I shouldn't trust at all.

You just get to the point, there is no one to trust.

Ya know?

With all things in life,,,,,,,,,,,enough is enough. :no:

sorry

The Lord says that He is the only true and faithful one. So you are right in saying that people will only let you down. But don't ever give up on people. There are good people who wouldn't intentionally hurt others. It sounds like you have been having it pretty rough lately. I'm sorry that you have been let down. It hurts when it happens, I've had best friends breat trust with me too, and my husband and I think, quite often in fact, that it would be so much easier to just dust our feet and shut our hearts door closed. But like you, we open back up once more again. {{{HUGS}}}

I just want people to be themselves, and to be true.

Be true?

Seems to be too much.

It sounds like you are having a rough time of it, but please don't give up. There are good, honest folks out there. There just aren't that many so you have to look long and hard to find them. Good thoughts and (((((((HUGS))))))) coming to you. May you find just what you're looking for right around the next corner

I just keep getting back up.

Hubby and I where just talking about how people at work, would rather be so miserable to work with, than helping and keeping work places enjoyable. To bad we have to spend more time with co workers than the ones that really do love us. :new_shocked:

I too find that I feel like I'm about to founder in relationships with horse people at times. An example is, we had some unseasonable warm weather and grass started to pop up, and the horses, anxious for new grass were eating the sand as well as the new grass. Anyway, one day, I had our QH mare colic and had a difficult time of it. A farm call on the weekends is $150.00 and I so wanted to delay that expense until the next day, when the bank was open. Hubby got the brilliant idea to pay off and destroy the credit cards, which was fine until I needed the vet.

At the same time, a "friend" had her horse colic also, same reason. She dragger her horse to our house in order that we could help her with him. She said her vet was out of town and to get the vet there ASAP. I explained that I was waiting until the bank opened on Mon. morning, as we did away with credit cards. She said, she'd pay the farm call and I just had to vet the "oiling up fee"... which I could afford in cash. I called the vet and she was on the way to our place to help both horses. A third horse showed up and it was also suffering from colic. Both women asked me to give them a shot of banamine to keep their horses from rolling. I had enough left for two full size horses, or enough for a shot for our horse that evening, to get her through to the morning, (when the bank opened).

So... I gave them each enough for a shot for their horses until the vet could arrive, (who was about an hour away). The first horse was laying down, refusing to get up without alot of effort, so I was worried about the rolling before the vet could help.

After she gave the shot of banamine... 20 mins later... she pronounced the horse cured... and said she wasn't paying "nothing to MY vet". I had to call the vet and tell her to cancel. She was at that point ten mins out... I said that I'd be first on her list in the morning. I asked the other horse owner if they wanted the vet to come out, and said, we could split the farm call cost. (that I had cash for). She said, of course... heck NO... as her horse was well then too!

That night I was up all night checking on our mare, and walking her, and giving her mash and keeping her company to make sure she didn't roll.

I'm just upset that I tried to do what I thought was right and would keep the horses from suffering, and instead, the owners end up taking them home without addressing the cause of the problem.... covering the pain doesn't change that something isn't right in the stomach. Does that make sense??? Plus.... our horse had to do without... I'm such a dummy.

I told our vet... I got lectured never ever to do anything like that again... I'm sure I won't.

I just feel used and abused. Plus I called both people the next day, and neither one of them could bother to return my phone call.

The more I know people... the more I love our horses.

God Bless,

Lynn W

Thanks for letting me vent. It was a bad weekend. I have to mention... hubby has now requested that our credit cards be re-issued... just another dumb mistake to get rid of them... just in case of an emergency...

 

[iluvwalkers]

I HAVE DECIDED NEVER TO EXPECT MUCH FROM PEOPLE THEN THERE IS NEVER A LET DOWN. I JUST DO WHAT I FEEL IS RIGHT AND TRY MY BEST NOT TO LET OTHERS WHO DON'T SEEM TO BE DOING THE RIGHT THING BOTHER ME. I HAVE BEEN HEARD SAYING "PEOPLE SADDEN ME

THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE DON'T GIVE UP AND BLACK MAGIC...THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME

Frankie, Don't be too discouraged as there are good people in this world. I think what happens is we get stung several times and then we tend to think everyone is the same, but they really aren't. I have been far too trusting in my lifetime and have regretted it but I fel I still have to pick myself up, dust myself off, and start all over again and if I don't, then those dishonest people have gotten the best of me. Sometimes I actually believe that there are some people that actually don't know what the truth is or how to be honest. Probably makes their life easier whole making others miserable. Cheer up and look to a better day. Mary

( Well said Mary! )

I think we all have been let down at one time or another by those we thought were friends. Just hang in there and try not to let the ones who dissapoint you bring you down. ( Easier said then done - I know! ) Life is meant to be a constant learning experiance...Chin up!
