I never said the "you" was me, but obviously, it is me. It's terrible to complain and THEN be seen. Because when you speak, no one notices, but when you complain, the whole world is there to listen. The world promotes complaining; it's really sad. And I don't want to complain, but how can I not when people start taking things for granted? Even simple "thank you's" disappear. It probably makes me seem bad that I would complain about doing things for other people, but I don't want to remain silent, and continued to be ignored. Because if I don't eventually talk, no one's going to ever know.
Either way, the world is against you, because if you complain, people think you're trying to showoff in some manipulative way, but if you remain silent, no one knows. So it's a lose-lose situation.
I've been in a situation where I've been quiet while helping - people end up thinking I'm manipulative because I don't say anything. I've also been in a situation where I've been complaining a lot - people end up thinking I'm just a whiner.
(Thanks for the comment. I'd like to wish I were as good as you say I was, but there are personality issues that say differently. I suppose it's because the good that I do isn't ever really recognized and all the bad is pointed out and used to judge me.)
Sorry for the really long post. I really do appreciate your comment though.
