Do you make time for others?

Question

Or just give them what you have left once you've done what you needed and wanted to do?

Answer 1

That's the problem. All of my time is spent on others. Rarely, if ever, is any of my time spent on myself.

Answer 2

I find that my greatest joys come from seeing those I love and care for happy. This is perhaps the purest form or definition of love - cognizantly sacrificial. "Greater love has no man than to give up his life for his friends." This needs to come from a position of strength not weakness or dependency. Going to the ballet instead of the ballgame because that is what she wants to do....putting on the monkey suit for dinner instead of the casual wear......cooking dinner/doing the dishes/wash,dry and fold the clothes - just because.....

The easy thing is usually the wrong thing, while the right thing is usually the hardest. Egocentric self interest comes easy.

Answer 3

I find that making time for others is a great gift for the holidays. I gave my cousin an extra hour and a half for Christmas. Although, it took me two hours to make it, so I actually lost time in the process.

Answer 4

I try to make time for others. I've always preferred to have a few close, meaningful friends rather than many superficial friends. That makes it easier for me to be the true friend that these special people deserve.

Answer 5

Always, but that's what I have the most of...and it always makes me feel better for having done something for someone else...and I dislike taking anything for what I do, I always suggest they just do a good turn for someone else..and keep the "good turns" going...

Answer 6

I help others out so much that I sometimes neglect my families needs. I try not to overextend myself, but I just want to help everyone in need.

Answer 7

I take care of my business first then I put forth the rest of my time for them... I would expect them to do the same.

Answer 8

I really try to, all the people in my life, always try and treat people's feelings like they are really important. I always react sadly when people treat my feelings as unimportant, and try and treat others with respect. I don't claim to always succeed, but it is my great desire to get better and better at it.

Answer 9

The opposite. I make too much time for others, and too little time for myself, to the point of not eating or sleeping enough.

You? :)

Answer 10

I never do..as horrible as it sounds it is so uncomfortable to be around peiople for me, that I choose to be alone which makes me look stand-offish and arrogant
