Imposing ideals and expectations

Human beings have the tendency to impose their ideals and expectations on people around them. And I'm feeling the brunt of it all. These people expect and even to the extent of demand me to do things that I do not feel like, do not want to, or simply cannot do.

Run an errand, visit, call, message, accompany, sleep, talk, bath, eat, buy, agree, disagree, comment, read, laugh, cry, whatever...the list goes on.

It is not wrong to expect, but do not demand. I will do it if I can and want, and please do not get agitated if I were to refuse. In any way, I always refuse politely.

Do not do unto others, what you do not wish others to do unto you.

Peace to all.

If u can't do something, don't agree to it in the first place. It hurts and disappoints when you gave ur word and failed to fulfill in the end.
