With friends: They don’t really ask you about you? The relationship seems very one-sided. You do most of the listening and they do all the talking. ENOUGH! It’s not a real friendship because it is draining you.
With family: You just can’t do enough for your mother-in-law. She is never satisfied and is always comparing you to her daughter. You try to please out of respect for your significant other, to no avail. You don’t feel good in her company. ENOUGH! Why go where it’s not “warm.” You’ve decided that on the important occasions, you will be there, but that’s it.
With a job: You’ve been up for a job change on several occasions and it seems things have stalled. It’s been that way for a few years. You almost feel like there’s a conspiracy against you. You’ve tried to make changes, but no one is buying them. ENOUGH–Time to look outside the company and move on.
