  yeah it sucks to be the "mature" one. my only advice is just to let it go. let it all go. believe me you'll feel much more better. and you could rant here in soulcast. cuz people here listens.

  I get tired of being that person! I guess that is why I like SC so much. No expectations, no one counting on me... I can just be...

  i know what you mean soulreaver...... i know what you mean.
  hopefully, you can work it out so that you have a place to be the real you.

  Pull your sox up, bud. We are the good guys. That is what we do.

• Zayda said on Dec 09, 2006....

  I know what you mean soulreaver.  Some days, I'm tired of being the strong one all the time; I'm tired of being the one who's always understanding.
  
  Hopefully, SC will be a place where some of those feelings can come out so you don't feel like you are imploding.

  Unfortunately, burdens get placed on our shoulders because we can handle it. Look back at  everything you have said, done or been in a situation that demanded attention. You took charge because ONLY you were capable of action. No one else. You accepted responsibility because no one else would or could.

  Sometimes being the good guy all the time just sucks.

  I call it my responsible hat. I set two days a month aside for me to take OFF the responsible hat. Betcha can't guess the big one?
   
  On my OFF days. I do whatever *I* want. I even ignore my cell phone (and that's a  biggee!

• JadeLondon said on Dec 10, 2006....

  You strike me as the type that is the good guy all the time--because you are driven to be so. You wish you could let go, but haven't quite learned how without feeling just a little bit guilty.

  I read your entry about your meeting with your brother--I know how hard it was for you, yet you did so anyway. And even if things had gone poorly, at least there would be some comfort in the fact that you tried.

  And maybe in the process you both learned something about one another (pleasant, I hope!).

  Anyway, I am rather prone to such fits myself, so I understand your situation. I still have a difficult time letting things go--I find SoulCast to be great stress relief--therapy, if you will.

  I noticed your roommate plays WarCraft. Are you a gamer, too? Your name, SoulReaver reminds me of a Legacy of Cain video game. Just curious.

• LadyGamer said on Dec 10, 2006....

  Gamer!
  Gamer, gamer, gamer!
  I love teh gamer.
  WOOT!

  I get tired of being the unselfish one too.  I really do.  But, if I'm not I feel guilty about it.  So...

  Goodness has it rewards.  Someday you'll be reaping them and be glad that you were the good guy after all.  Soulcast is a place where you can let it all out and we'll all be here reading and understanding you for who you are.

  Hi, foremost, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for deeming my posts worthy of your time. I've read your posts just now, and am impressed. I hope you don't mind if I sneak in and comment once in a while. =)
  
  Those questions are hard to answer, it all boils down to one fact: that you are not playing a role, instead, you are essentially good, and are capable of being a man for others.

  soulreaver, I find it very interesting that you felt the need to leave such a negative comment on my post when I have been doing the very things that you say you have been doing. I have been the responsible one, the dutiful wife, the devoted daughter, a loyal friend and many other things too.
  
  I understand the feeling of imploding under the repressed emotions and am sorry that you feel there is no role for you being the good guy anymore. I don't know what the circumstances are that have brought you to that opinion of yourself but hope you can still see the positives in your life and find your way through it.

  Take a look on this...

  About our health, we usually want everything to be clean. From the food we eat, our environment, everything!. But, don't you think if we get ourselves so clean and not allowing our immune system to develop imuunity to some microbes or bacteria or viruses will make our health strong? There'll be no anti-bodies that'll protect us from common sickness.

  Being so good all their life make themselves weak.

• soulreaver said on Jan 07, 2007....

  To everyone:
  I thank you for hearing me out... much appreciated.
