mabe you felt depressed because the fight is temporarily gone out of you. If you aren't happy with your situation or life, then my philosophy is; take control. Change what you are able to change. Find your ambitious fighting nature again, and transform it in a constructive plan. Feeling anger is an energy that you can transform to a fighting nature. Use that energy.


I'm going to work with this, HL. Going to have to read and reread it and the rest of this thread. I feel like I'm monopolizing the thread, however. (I guess I have some of the narcissist tendencies I see in one of my parents, after all.) I don't like the feeling, so I'll try to correct the detour by asking another question.

What is your best way of dealing with an ungrateful person, someone who gains through his extreme sense of entitlement? Do you say, after the Nth time you've helped him out, something like, "I am grateful I could help you out"?
