Assignment 6: What I can't stand...

The prompt for this assignment is: what I can't stand about some of the people in my life. 

Guys, don't take offense to this.. I will edit it to make sure it's appropriate, but at the time it was pretty intense. I named the people as anonymous.. because I want to protect their identity.. some of them are easy to decipher who it is. I'm also going to alter this assignment to make sure it makes sense!

So, here we go..

Anonymous 1 really bothers me with her smoking. I think it's really bad for her to be doing that, especially for so long. I think it's annoying when she smokes because it smells really gross and when she gives me cheek kisses, she just smells like cigarettes. I also think that it could be bad for my brothers and sisters to be exposed to that and that it's going to die her lung cancer. It also bothers me when she yells at everyone just because she's mad at herself or someone else. She takes it out on us. She also has extreme mood swings. I think that could be where I inherited my bipolar disorder. (it probably doesn't work that way but I'm gonna go with it..).

Anonymous 2 really bothers me when he drinks. I think he is an alcoholic, but he doesn't believe he is, so there is nothing I can really do about that. He has drinks almost every day after work and it really is annoying. He gets kind of angry when he's drunk to!


Anonymous 3 I'm just kind of disappointed in her. She is dating an ex-con, which pisses me off because she could do so much better than that. She drinks, smokes, and does some low-key drugs. What I can't stand the most is when we get into arguments. We both always end up saying things that we don't mean, well sometimes there is meaning behind it.

Anonymous 4 is someone who is so self-centered. She makes everything about herself. She brags about everything and makes fun of others (me included) to get attention from guys. She also spreads lies about people and is really bad at gossiping.

When they show me they care about me and show that they have some sort of love/affection towards me, I feel satisfied.

We also joke a lot together when we are in a good place with each other.

To help myself in dealing with these toxic people I made up a small list of how they would be able to cater to my needs. Which sounds SUPER self-centered, but in treatment I HAD to be super self-centered, because it was just about me getting better so I had to be self-centered.

I want them to know how they make me feel and if they continue to do these things, I can find someone to check-in or use some alternatives.
