Self-evaluation
Today I realized something, or I had an epiphany. I realized , I need to be needed. I need to feel like I make a difference, and that my presence matters and that my shoes can’t be filled by just another person.
That’s why I love to be the person people trust, and talk to when they have problems and issues. That’s why I feel good when I notice they need me. I know that sounds a bit macabre but, I guess it’s the truth. And besides, I also feel good when people feel the need to tell me good things about themselves and just share happy moments with me. So I’m not an “other-peoples-drama-seeker”.
I also used to love my work, because people made me feel like I was making a difference, like I was different then the rest. I had responsibilities, I was counted on. If somebody else was sick, or orders had to be made, I’d be the one they’d call. Because they knew I’d do a good job, and make it all right. Or at least that’s what I thought. Now I’m considering the possibility that they’d call me because I’m cheap :P, Ohh well.
My need to be needed is probably the reason why whenever I do something for none other then myself, my motivation drops, I get low moral, and basically, I just do it to get it over with. Or in the worst case scenario I just don’t do it at all. Which results in me feeling shitty about how shitty I’m doing the things I was supposed to do.
Of course the reason for me only being motivated enough to do things when it’s because I feel I’m needed, and therefore feel like if I don’t do it the world will come to an end, is a result of me not really knowing what I want to do with my life what I want to achieve and what I want for me really.
Bottom line: If I feel like nobody needs me to do something, I’ll do it half ass or I’ll just not do it all.
So, what to do?
I could either create a situation in which I would be depended on all the time. A situation in which I’d never feel like I wasn’t needed, and I could create it bye getting myself knocked-up and pooping out a baby.
Or I could of course, try to , or make an attempt to, find out what the hell it is I do want for me, myself and I.
Ps: me feeling the need to be needed doesn’t come forth out of the goodness of my angelic soul, it comes forth out of low self esteem and the feeling that If I’m not needed by others , they probably just hate me and really if that’s the case, what am I hear for then?
