If you never think about or put your hand out for others, why would you expect folks to entrust in you



How do you perceive folks, who are either, only kind to you or speak to you, if you’re talking about something that interests them (only) ?

It’s truly sad !  I don’t know how these folks could actually consider them a friend, or a good employee, etc !

There is an establishment I visit regularly in my town.  I find the employees there, will only be nice to you, if you talk to them, about themselves (show interest in them).  So my GF and myself, are always trying to find something great, in talking with them, so they will be in a good mood, and actually treat you decently.  Sad ! 
And more amazingly, the establish keeps them on as employees !  They're always down and seemingly depressed, unless we try to cheer them up !  Shouldn't be our job in supporting their personality, but that's what we find ourselves having to do, to enjoy our own night !

I know other folks, who will only give you time of day, if you are talking about them.  They never ask you anything about you; how you're doing; hows your life ?  Matter of fact, they actually don’t know anything about others, cause they only focus on themselves; they don't know if you're dating; how your job works, etc.  I have friends, “and family” that fit in this category.

Not that life is all about me, but I find these folks are terribly unconcerning about others.  And they wonder why they are so unhappy.  Why they can't find true friends !

Life is about, having and showing concern and interest for others !  And when you focus on others and their needs and their concerns, you spend less time thinking about your needs and your problems !  That's how it works; keeping your focus off yourself and onto others !

But of course, since they won’t listen to anything that you have to say, you don’t have an opportunity to share this thought.  I really feel sorry for them !



Who can actually trust these types of folks !
