ever get that feeling ya jus can't win?

[ceagle]

Like.. ah wanna be there for everybody, but it's almost always too much or too little. Why dat? :/
Wanna give smiles to everyones, but only so much time in a day.. and ..some can carry the smiles you give for longer in between those times.. Others don't, and give up after a while..

I've noticed a similar thing in my yob.. I usually jus' operate offa word of mouth.. recommendations and referrals... cuzza when I advertise, I get LOTS too many all at once, and inevitably some I have to schedule a little later, and thusly some will be disappointed a bit.

Why life gotta be dat way?... -_-

Ahh... the ol' "You can't please all of the people, all of the time..." conundrum.

Remember, my friend, you can only do what you can do... after that, you just have to move on.

*TB Hugs* I've always got a smile and hug for my favourite feathered friend, though. Be well, mate.

I've tried my best to make people happy around me. Its tough...REAL tough. Tho I've found that if I concentrate on a smaller group of close friends, and I mean really working my heart out to keep a few folks happy, it works out.

Your one of those folks fr sure because the short times we've yapped about, you manage to keep me beyond happy and inevitably going to bed that eve with a big happy smile on my face :)

So yeah, just keep doing what yer doing. Your doing well, no worries :) big dumb macaw hugs ya! 'Hmmmmm, chicken...' ;)

Because Life sucks (j/k). But then there's people like you and I that go out of their way to bring a smile to people where we can, when we can, and life sucks a lot less because of that. ;)

But yeah, its one of those things like just2draw points out. Quite the conundrum!

Hope things go well for you, C. You're a good guy, and we all know that its definitely not for a lack of trying on your part! *pets your crest*

Eagleness is MADE of win! A class act from headcrest to talons. :)

'Cause only a true winner would be concerned about how much and how well he could do. Slackers and lazies wouldn't care a hoot whether they'd disappointed anyone... minimum effort is their "situation normal". That will never be you!

All the time feathers!

You make this critter happy.

Kitty didn't quite follow what you said O.O

However I think I understand, concentrating on your nearest and dearest but spare some for the peeps you meet along the way.

Hey, I didn't know you were a licensed smile provider! I'll take a dozen, please. =^_^=

You can stretch yourself too thin, trying to please too many people. You can try to Be There for your friends, but there's only so much you to go around. I miss you, buddybird, but I realize that you have a Lot Going On out there. If people know your circumstances and still bug ya, that's their problem. *snoogs*

Thanks fur yer comment, buddy... ^V^
It was great gittin' to catch up with ya today!.. I hope the vast and intricate plans will keep blending into positive results for you, soon..!

Thanks for the comment, my avian amigo!

I guess it's natural that time is a bit limited, but it's great to have friends who know the bond is just as strong no matter the distance or time between :>

* chuckles at the chickeny chiding... hehe! yummmmm! :9 *

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

*warbles happily*... :9
d'awwww.... *blush* .. well.. thanks, bud! Our time and space may be a few hours off, but at least some times we know the paths cross in sync!

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

yesh yesh.. itta challenge to spread mah wings wide nuff to catch as much as I'd like to in the time and space limits of the day.. It wears on a person sometimes.. but good friends and a deep breath every once in a while can help reset the stride, and restore energy and confidence ^V^ .. *wags*

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

You got it, meowy amigo! No refrigeration needed.. no expurrrration date! ^V^ *hughugs*

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the empathetic enticements and comments, me friend... *warble*
It's a challenge not to stretch too far, yesh... (in your case, you might even pop!) .. :D

[expandranon.livejournal.com]

*snugs up the nice bird and beakrubs* Maybe he just doesn't know how good eagles are. (^^> Perhaps you've been a very long time out of contact with him? I can't speak for others, but I don't unfriend people unless I have very strong feelings that they're done with me. Try giving him a message, see what happened.

Too, as your other commenters here have said, you can't please everybody all the time. Remember that you have a whole heap of true blue friends here with you. :)

[t-h-squirrel.livejournal.com]

I get that too. :(

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

*fuffles and winglescritches ya thankfully*
Oh, they really izza nice person actually. I think they just get disappointed when I can't be as involved with things as I used to, so I guess pulling away a bit is how some people cope. I have to respect it and jus' try to deal with it. I did send 'em a note, and they gave me a very gracious and reassuring response. I don't feel I've lost the friendship, just some aspects of distance that I mourn, but that's just me I guess.

I'm very grateful for my friendses, abbalooly! ^V^ *wags and purrs*
This is part of why I search myself at first if something seems wrong, ..but maybe something is troubling them that they need some space for. I hope they will change their mind eventually.

Thank you for being such a dedicated griffy.. and thanks again for presenting that new and heartwarming new image! *wingpats your griffiny ears!*

The challenges of the social interactive system can be boggling sometimes.. :|

Hey there sweet birdy,

While I admire your youthful enthusiasm, it was a matter of time before this would happen. Once I was like you, and I learned it the hard way that some people make use of this attitude. Especially in the furry fandom. You give them a talon, they take your wing so to say. And in the end they make you feel bad for telling them that you need that wing to fly.

Now, I am not saying you should become one of those grumpy eagles they used for the American Shield. Yes, I have become bitter at some parts. But basically I will treat my friends kindly, I give people second chances, sometimes even third chances, but when keep stabbing me, they face a raised tail so to speak.

*scritches, n fluffle-hugs ya* ^V^
You have a pretty good way with words...;D

I'm glad the experiences haven't soured ya completely... maybe just given ya a few more tools to discern between the times to stick with the joy, and times to turn tail (as you so deftly and skunkily put it... hehe!)

hey!
Just thotta somethin' ... you ever have time to read books? The Celestine Prophecy is a really good quick read about how to detect problem potential in relationships, and also where we can improve ourselves as well... ^V^

Thanks for the caring comments!... *hughugs and wags his own non-spraying avian tail*
