Why do we always put faith in things other than ourselves? Why do we put our faith in things we have no control over? Why do we put our faith in other people

Why did my parents shelter me and make me so dependent upon them and others?
we try to protect the ones we love, and sometimes we fail to see that in protecting them we fail to give them the ability to fully cope on their own when the time inevitably comes for them to "fly the nest"
funny....how i am the opposite way...i love to make people happy because it makes me happy just like you do...yet when people do nice things for me just because, i get nervous and suspicious......yeah....

Thanks Chach, I didn't really feel shitty last night. I just finally was sorta able to put to words how I felt at times. It still doesn't really explain it and I sorta rambled on so oh well. Anyways, thanks for the offer of hanging out and etc, but it won't be as much of a biggie once next year comes around cause we'll all be living close to each other :-).
It is difficult when people expect you to be perfect. I think this is something a lot of people face at least once. But we cannot be perfect. No matter how much we want to, or how much others expect us to, we're not. Everyone is flawed, and though we might get annoyed sometimes, being flawed is kind of a ticket to freedom.
You do like to make others happy, this is true. But you shouldn't do it at the expense of your own happiness, unless someone is dying or bleeding or something. And even then, you don't have to if you don't want to! Tej, I love you. Be YOU, and enjoy it. Be happy because you like who you are and what you are doing now. Find an oasis of happiness within you, it is there. Anyone who truly cares about you should want you to be happy, not for any of us, but for you. And we'll be there along the way just because we love you. You can always talk to me about anything. (Especially if it's me who is the problem because I'm flawed too!)
I think I need to add an addendum to the journal and say that this was an expression of how I feel sometimes because I actually had a quite lovely weekend :-D. Granted, I didn't do any work, but that's alright. Anyways, thank you for the support as well. I know I do have a lot of friends now who support me and love me for who I am, but sometimes the old doubts come back (especially, when I haven't seen a living soul (or atleast talked to one) in a couple days). I've really been trying to work on that and I think I may be getting better. However, I worry that as soon as I go home all of that hard work will be thrown away. I am basically steeling myself and preparing for the worst. Hopefully it won't be as bad as I expect and then everything will be fine!
