Your Moments of Weakness Don't Define You, but They Sure as Hell Make You Strong - Comments

All of this. I Honestly don't know people like that get by because people can only help you so much before getting tired of helping those who do nothing about their problems.

Yeah, that's what I think some people want, and then they get pissed when you aren't telling them exactly what they want to hear. Some of them just need to grow up and realize that life is about the choices you decide to make, and not everyone is going to bend over backwards to make sure that they have a comfortable life.

I love it when my mother and father vent to me about each other when they're in a fight that involves
the silent treatment. As if that solves the problem. Sometimes people just make stupid choices
and wallow in their self pity.

Yeah exactly, sometimes you can't do everything to help yourself but if you're not trying you've failed straight away. Though I suspect people who go on and on about their problems are often just chasing sympathy more than a solution.

I actually agree with all of this. It really grinds my gears when people go on and on about a situation, but they won't do anything at all about it. I know there are circumstances where they can't but some flat out refuse to help themselves. And I've always been the one to say if you won't help yourself, don't expect others to.
