[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 1662197, member: 2002"] But if they do? Been there, seen that! For example, the drama queen (or king) who wants to be the center of attention may decide to "play" anyways, knowing that his/her inability to play will bring the desired attention and/or sympathy. But if I don't like horror movies? If that "friend" constantly denegrates the choice or idea of going to see comedy movies? Am I "not a nice person" if I refuse to go to movies that disgust me? Been there, done that. "We can take so-and-so's car instead" "Let's go somewhere else", etc, etc, ad nauseum. Soon enough, you're 'compromising' your trip into oblivion and it isn't your trip anymore. A week long camping trip to Yellowstone turns into an evening trip to the local park where you spend all your time fetching (your) beer for Bill. The next part however, I agree with. It all comes down to HOW you tell people such things. It is a Logical Fallacy to insist that all problems can be resolved through discussion. It is a slow death to constantly surrender our own needs, our own dreams, our own happiness to conform to the expectations of others. Striving for balance sometimes means that I have to ask that longtime friend to stop gaming with me simply because I'm not happy gaming with him anymore. Yes, it's just a game. But since when is a friendship more important than my happiness, than my enjoyment of life? Why does a friendship mean that I have to continue being stressed and unhappy playing a game that I should be enjoying? [/QUOTE]
