Actually, it's always not them, it's always you.

As long as you refuse to take 100% responsibility for your life, you will be at the effect of external forces like these people who drive you crazy. You have a choice! You can be the source of your own satisfaction.
So what do you suggest we do? What does taking 100% responsibility even mean in this case?

So you're saying to tell your friends the truth about how you don't wanna hang out with them anymore? Well, basically what I did.

But then again, I don't know if I'm more satisfied than before. It's about the same really.


I had a friend who would always ask me offensive/personal questions about me. I told him to stop crossing the line, but he never did. So I made him stop, and in my mind he doesn't exist anymore. It wasn't what I wanted, but it had to be done. Is this what you mean by taking responsibility?
