I live the way I feel I should. I live my life to make other people happy, but all that happens is that I make myself miserable. I should put myself first, but I can't bear the thought of hurting other people.

I spent a lot of my life constrained & manipulated by consumer society, and slavishly obeying the rules of the job market. I guess I mean that I've paid my dues, and now I have a career & lifestyle where Im pretty much my own boss & I get money for doing what I love.
I live the way I want.

I think that society today is very overpowering, i believe in live and let live but that is not how society today see things, people always try to manipulate others into their way of doing things, before long this country will be like a army of clones doing everything the same, wearing everything the same, eating everything the same, we are told this is bad for u that is bad for u, u should do this and that, wot happened to a free country, i do alot of things others expect me to and sometimes i wish i could just say no i wont do that or im going to do this my way, like when we invited our neighbour on holiday with us now half his family is coming too brothers sisters their familys, now i don't even want to go, i wish i could just say sorry thats not wat i wanted, but i feel guilty and upset saying this as it would upset him and i really like him and he is good to my husband and myself, i sometimes feel trapped even though im not i just need to say no, hope this helps

I agree! But sometimes I just must act the way I am expected, at work for example, though I am trying hard not to be manipulated with.

I used to live my life for others, but I don't now, I've found that you have to be assertive in all aspects of life, including family, work and pleasure. You can still do this with a smile and a good heart.

You can be "your own man" (or woman). Nevertheless you should put other people's best interests before your own. That's not being manipulated - it's your own choice. You will come out the winner in the end.

Not at all do I bother about being manipulated. We have to be reasonable to others around us and this includes respect for them and their customs. Things like not wearing a tee shirt and shorts to a funeral, unless it is your own
