"You have to consider us"
"They won't be happy with that decision."
"Do you know how that makes us feel?"
Why?
So what?
No, nor do I care.
It aggrivates me that what I do HAS to depend on them--on you
Want to know why I left the first time?
Because of you.
You want control
You want this
You want that
You.
You.
You!
It's NEVER about me
You treat me like an object
Not as a person
I feel like I'm a pet
Not a human
So why should I bother asking you?
When it was only recently that you started assisting me
Why should I CARE to tell you
When you dont communicate with me
To you, I'm being selfish.
But did you ever consider,
That I'm taking care of myself?
Instead of worrying about everyone else?

A culture barrier I have yet to break.
