it seems like there are people in the world who will take advantage of you if you let them. however, the minute you wake up to it and decide to say "why can't you deal with it?" you get backlashes and people assume that you and the world is out to get them. then it seems like i'm the bad guy here? seriously? they'll take a small issue such as wanting to do things that cost money. yes, i may be able to participate without straining *too* much. however, other people feel that they should get all of the handouts, and everyone else should support their needs. i'm 28 years old. i know what i have and what my limits are. other people my age should too, within reason. yet there's always *someone* who doesn't pay attention/decides not to pay attention to their limitations and always assume that someone would foot their bill. if i'm offered something freely, it's assumed that i'm teaming up with someone else against this "innocent, helpless, poor little" person. i'm normally laid back and i can relax, but it's gone on entirely too long and i'm fed up with it. if you can't pay, then you shouldn't play!
