Am I really asking too much?


Why is it hard for them to understand me? I don’t see anything wrong about what I’m doing. All I wanted to do is to teach them to stand on their own. I don’t like to see them depending on others because not all the time, people are around and always available for them. I’m not turning my back on them, I’m just thinking about their future. What if I’m gone?

You might think that I’m a big-headed person because I’m the only person that you can count on. I never thought of that in my entire life, hope you know that. If you only knew, I’m always thinking about you, all the time! Am I just pretending that I’m a responsible daughter and a sister? Sometimes I feel like I’m just nothing in this world. I hope someday, I could feel my worth. I hope that you appreciate the little things I do for you.

Why am I too emotional about this, maybe because I was hurt. All I’m asking is to understand me. Maybe you’ll never understand me because you really don’t know what’s inside me. You really don’t know what’s on my mind. You really don’t know what’s happening in school. You don’t know the pressure I have in school. I know you’re tired too but I think I’m more tired than what you think.

Sometimes I want to fight back but I just can’t because I don’t want an argument. I don’t want you to get hurt. I don’t want to fight you back simply because I love you. You’re my world dude.. hehe

I’m hoping that my wounds are gone tomorrow, so that I can work properly. I hate this feeling! My head aches and my heart too. Come on! Now tell me, am I really asking too much? I hope not.

This is from Archie Sangalang

I do not think so. Maybe I was thinking I feel the same way even though I am more tempered than you. Candidly at times I want to control it but it just get out. Whenever people think they can have full control or manipulate or underestimate you. Maybe as what they say I am a warfreak at most times.
And though most of the time I tried to act very mysteriously and tried hard to not anybody knows the terror days of my life. Maybe my life just got too messy. And so I am left to fix it up.

I don't know what's the real reason you posted this article... I don't even know whom your referring to in this article is it your mother or to your siblings? Don't try to understand everything... Sometimes you feel your not appreciated and you've been taking for granted or probably your misunderstood... But take it easy baby everything happens for a purpose and you should learn the value of respecting others opinion so you will not create misunderstanding with the people that surrounds you. Yah sometimes you need to think before you speak because there are times that we tend to be emotional that we loose our self control and not only hurt others by our action but also the word that comes out from our mouth. At times we need to check ourselves and keep quiet for a moment. Then you will realize and understand clearly the situation your going through. How can we listen clearly if we keep on talking and complaining...

BE COOL BABY EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE!!!

youre the most responsible person i know. talagang ganyan lang ang buhay, feeling mo hindi ka nila naiintindihan pero deep inside they are very thankful sa ginagawa mo sakanila. i bet your mum is very proud to have a daughter like you

so how do i tell you not to mind such things when its about home? i can be tough outside but not regarding my family. i guess i can say that my family is my strength and weakness as well. now, what am i trying to point out? your family will always be your family no matter how you change things so what do you do? tell them what you truly feel. it also pays to be a bit emotional at times. open rebuke is better than secret love..

Well, Tinay, your experience happened to me already before. It is really hard when time comes that people do not understand you for what you are and for what your thoughts are. Maybe, because we are really totally different from the others. Worse thing is that sometimes, the person whom you expect to understand you the best is sometimes the least person whom you could expect to understand you. But worry not because all of us are experiencing that. You are a very tough person who has great ideals and insights in mind, just think of that. Well, I must say that never let anybody put you down. Never let those people who do not understand you to think of you the other way around. Sometimes, it is also expected from you to argue with them just to let them know the real score. And, I think there is nothing wrong also about arguing with other people. Argument is not bad at all times. Now, do you want to argue with me? Joke only. Just remember all what I have said huh. I hope these people who can’t understand you will soon know what really is inside you.

I felt the same. That is basically my stand. Recently, there were misunderstanding at home, I felt the lack of concern and appreciation towards them and I know how much it hurt. In times that you know you’re doing well in school and you put up everything for them to be proud just to realize they find it non sense for them. You can be very disappointed and feel the angst, but what I’ve learned from this is, since your mom, dad and siblings are also busy in their owned field they kinda neglect things that matters to you. They are preoccupied with many things but what you need to do is to confront, in polite manner, how you feel. Sometimes it is better to show that you are offended rather than keeping it inside and let them wonder what’s in you. Communication is very important.

Friend, they understand you. You feel hurt because you think they don’t appreciate you. You just have to let your mind speak and burst those emotions. There’s no wrong of bursting your emotions. But watch your words. Relax your mind and talk to them. My friend, talk to them. They will not understand you if you will just sit in your dark room. Break your silence. You’re not asking too much, it just that you are in the midst of dilemma and you need their comfort and understanding. I believe your family understand you and appreciate you. Don’t close your door to that craziness in your mind. You have a mission to your family. That’s your essence in this world. Choose to be happy. Don’t let your problems or the pressure break you into pieces.

Pangan, my beloved friend.. I dont really think that your asking too much. I've known you for about 3 yrs. and yet I know that you're the simplest girl that I ever knew. I just wanna say that not all people can appreciate what you are doing. People sometimes do pretend that they don't appreciate you but deep inside their hearts they really do. Always remember that there are plenty of peoples who do love pretensions. They pretend to they are not. I don't think that your asking too much.... youre the type of girl that is very responsible, allert ang understanding.

Tinay always remember that you cannot pleased anyone.Cause people are pretenders or actors.

But inside youre home I dont think they don't understand or appreciate you,I know deep inside there hearts they really do....

To whom is this article intended? If you’re asking your readers to answer your question, I would say no, you are not asking too much.

I’ve known you as a classmate and as a friend. One thing I’ve noticed, you are always the “shock absorber” of others. You are one of the trusted persons in the class. It only means that you really are trustworthy. You also give effective pieces of advice. But upon reading your post, I never thought you also experience heartaches.

Sometimes, we have a hard time showing others that we need understanding. With all the burdens that we carry, we can’t do everything. Hardship and depression take place when problems and school work bother us.

But we should always think that these things are not permanent. They may hinder us some time, but not forever.

PS: Tinay, you are such a strong person. Just remember nothing is permanent. We may be down for a moment, but we are not kept behind forever. Thanks for being understanding and I appreciate you so much. I’m sorry for the times I neglected you. 
