- If I'm willing to set aside time in my day to talk to someone, why shouldn't they do the same?
- If I'm willing to reorganize or change plans because I felt it was important enough, why can't they?
Not only is it inconsiderate but it also shows where I stand. Actions speak alot louder than words.
The main problem is based on my assumption that people value me as much as I value them. I'm the type of person that would do almost anything for the people I care about.
If I tell someone I'm going to be somewhere, I'll be there. I may (OK...most likely WILL) be 30 minutes late but I am guaranteed to show up EVERY single time.
Everyone isn't like me though are they....I guess the challenge is to find the people who are.

I have this problem, too - I always make time for people, but it doesn't seem like people ever make time for me. Definitely frustrating.
I totally understand what you're saying. It can be *very* frustrating. I mean, if I can take the effort to do something, why can't someone else?
But the key, as I am learning slowly, is to remember that not everyone has the same background or set of values.
That's why we are 'human', and not perfect.
Haha... How funny that this is can be applied to 4 other people
I can be the same, except that I know that a lot of people won't come through, so with those people I don't do anything for them. I MAY once in a while put everything aside and just help them. I learned that if you want someone to respect you, you have to kiss their @$$ or they won't.
