Why should I?
Where does help stop and baby-sitting begin? Where is everyone's plan B? I want to disappear at times. Be non-existent to some people, so that they can take care of themselves. Maybe I am being arrogant. Maybe I'm being mean. Or maybe I'm just tired. And it has nothing to do with people being 'different'. Whoever they are, they should learn to stand on their own two feet. It really isnt so difficult. It isnt about 'I did it, so can you'. It is about 'everyone does it, and so MUST you'. Grow up, please?

Maybe just maybe you need to learn how to say no and not always be there for people.Then they learn and grow up too.
I agree with educatedunemployed's comment, sometimes we need to refuse to help them and just maybe they will help themselves.
I relate to your post though, I often wonder why certain people can't walk without holding my hand :(
bang on!
i agree
because sometimes we are in that same place and we're glad that our help did not give up on us :)

Growing up is boring. Gah.
And no fun too. Yeah. Gah.
I think the creepy hand looks nice three times in succession. What do you think?
The Creepy Hand strikes again.
Five is better than four methinks. Gawd I am so bored. As you can see. Should I feel guilty about creeping all over your commentspace like a spastic monkey? I think I'll leave now. Baah! :D
Amazing post. You hit the nail straight home this time!
Agree with educatedunemployed.. leave them to grow up on their own. You cant be everywhere.
Dear Young One,
The new workplace seems to have severely affected the blogging frequency.
Like the new set up of your room, esp the lights. How about a close up of the film roll on the wall. Nice camera :)
ciao!
EU,
I agree. I guess I need to be told that again and again... I do need to learn to say 'no'.
San,
I know... and these are usually people we dont want to be rude to and ask them to be on their own. But then it gets tiring to help all the time. A real catch 22.
Bright Red,
Long time, no see :)
RMOPLF,
That could be one reason. Will try to keep that in mind in the future... but I rarely look to others for this kind of help. Sigh.
WT,
Yes, I can see that growing up is something which hasnt taken your fancy yet :p
And the creepy hand is quite colorful, so I dont mind it on my commentspace. But if you are bored, how about doing your thesis? :p :p
Anonymous,
Uh huh?
Cowlick,
Yup will try. But then you dont want them to be in trouble either, do you. See, I really have a problem with letting go. Sigh.
SS,
Hahahaha... the wise old man speaketh. And yes the new workplace keeps me very very busy. Sad, no? And will send you a close up of the photoframe... but the camera is the really simple (read: dumb) point-and-shoot types... sony 3mp... a good 3 years old too :(
Casa!
i didn't realise until i got hear, and heard the music play (and it caught me by surprise!) how much i missed this place! :) ooho it's nice to read, and listen again, it is!
and they all know how to stand on their feet, it's only that some of us worry too much, and hold their hand *always*, and sometimes, we need our hand held too, but they take our strength for granted. go stand up to them. they'll grow up. tried and tested, it is.

Maybe YOU are the Plan B!

Wahh TT _ TT Haven't commented lately and your posts are always so interesting!!!
Oh hum hum...Everyone has their time when they just went to push people into a little box and let them do it by themselves...I guess it's all about patience...Well to me anyway... ;;>_>
Patience is a virtue and sadly something that takes a while to master...^-^
soon enough hon, soon enough..
Bgfs,
And the space has missed you too!
And crochety love? But why?
Jingu,
Then I want to know why their plan A always fails??!!
Aparna,
I was just getting rid of the tiring work week in a fashionable fashion... and well, I didnt take the train back, but then, when I could have... does that make it better? ;)
Let me know when you are free and headed to city for dinner this week.
Anonymous,

MC,
And I thought I was the impatient one... turns out not!
Jups,
Hehehe... yes yes.
Aris,
Yes, they will be people.. in my face, and in my space. Sigh.
Maybe that state of theirs is transitional?
