Can you accept personal responsibility?

That could be a large part of it. Considered a second major that wouldn't require many different intro courses than the ones you've already taken? Usually if you pick it right it can be minimal extra work and leave you feeling far more satisfied.

 

no, ...well, i mean if i wanted another major in the Business division, that wouldn't be hard...but anything outside of that would take a while...and i'm sick of the school and just don't have the money to keep spending to be here...

 

The average person changes careers, not JOBS, three times during their lifetime. Do what you have to do to get out, successfully of course, and then go from there. Even if you end up never using the degree for the job it's meant for you can use it to get in the door to high paying jobs that you might want more, etc.

 

thats true..i think i just needed someone else to say it to me

i am getting an english minor just for shits and giggles though

 

An english minor is like a psych minor - all it does is boost your value to ANY employer in ANY people related field.

 

i'm also working on a psych minor...but thats because i want to work with kids, possibly in non-profit area. i've gotten a lot of amazing support from high school till now from a couple amazing non-profits, that i want to also give back.

the english minor is something that i've gotten is because i keep having to take electives haha

 

I take complete responsibility for my life.

Every stupid thing I have done. (more than I can remember)

Every bad decision. (hundreds of them)

Every situation I have gotten myself in is my responsibility.

Every mistake...

Everything good and bad in my life is my responsibility.

I also have to deal with the consequences of that because no one else is going to bail me out.

 

times come when you cant do shit but accept the fact that you have to accept the responsibility.

so i say yes, regardless how harsh or brutal it is.

still, most people at the time of the situation cant. later down the road they can. but then it depends on the situation, so whatever.

 

I hold myself accountable for my own life, I attribute both the good and the bad things to my own choices. there are times when things are out of my control, and I either get bad shit I don't feel I deserve, or good things happen that I might not have deserved either. but I make my own fortune in life, and if I am to take credit for the good choices I make, I also have to take responsibility for the bad ones.

 

Sometimes I accept my resposibility, other times not.

 

I am trying hard to.

One of the main things I learned from my father was "NEVER EVER admit when you're wrong"

So it's a really difficult road, but I am getting better at it.

 

I admit when I am wrong, only when I really am.

 

Yes I can.

 

That's an interesting philosophy. Would you mind explaining why?

 

Sometimes it is my fault... like if I get in the habit of reacting to a certain thing, inevitably I end up over-reacting and then someone is like :huh:

I would love to be a person who is responsible though, but I don't want it to mean that I can't smoke, drink, or have a good time...

That said... when you do something wrong, you take responsibility and say "sorry I blew" or whatever. I personally like to break it down into which part was my fault, which part wasn't, and why.

 

sometimes
moreso in reflection. ie, i get pissy and indignant in the short term, but after a little time (usually under a day), if i think about it again i realize how i could have done thigns better and not been such a fuckup

 

yeah I ma a dumbass...I welcomed way too much negative emotions, people and self-beliefs in the past...hard habit to break. Big difference between personal reposnsibility and regret though...not sure I know where to draw the line and stop self-blaming for welcoming certain people and experiences in my life.

 

It's probably worth it to avoid blame altogether.


Responsibility is not blame. Whether towards oneself or the other/existence.

What remains is the necessity of suffering.

 

I have a horrible tendency to take the blame for things I didn't do as well as things I did.

 

way too much

which is why i rarely leave the house

responsibility can be crippling

[oh well]
