So we all have to do it at some point in life be it a relationship that isn’t going anywhere or a job that’s causing too much stress or a friendship that has outlived its life.
Do you give up easily?
Do you let things go quickly?
Or do you hang on crushing your soul more each day?
Or do you blow up at the person involved before walking away? |

Job? Easily. I walked out on the second day of one particular job because I didn't care for the patronising tone of someone.
People? No. Relationships? No. I dislike giving up on people because I don't think people are inherently bad and I hate hurting people. I'd much rather have my soul crushed by each new little revelation than hurt another; I have the resilience to cope with a remarkable amount of utter BS.
It gets to a certain point though. And I realise it's no longer bringing me any happiness and it can't bring the other any. So rather than carry on that masquerade of obligation and putting a brave face on, I choose to let things go and know I've tried. That's only happened a handful of times though. The last time it was so truly poorly received I don't think it's something I want to entertain again for a bit.

No, I’m pretty brutal, give up anything that doesn’t make me happy, draw a line under it!
Wish I could do this with the sausage rolls at the deli shop, my life would be so much simpler & my jeans would fit betterererer |

There's was a time I'd cling onto something because I wanted it so much.
These days, the only thing in my life I care about is my kids, anything/anyone else is disposable. If you don't let them in, they can't hurt you.

And yet if you don't let them in you can't really experience things fully can you? Taking that risk can potentially hurt but it can also be more than worth it. |

I seem to cling onto endless hope coupled with gnawing apathy when faced with such situations, hence why I don't give up so easily.
And so, yes, my soul ends up crushing upon itself because I'm not doing anything about it...until finally I come to my senses and actually do something about it, a reaction brought on by either something or someone or the stark realisation of the consequences. |

Was talking to a fab person earlier about this! I’m rubbish at telling people when it’s not working. So I’ll give up inside my own mind but not have the heart to tell the person it’s not working and not what I want. I don’t like letting people down and I’m a people pleaser to a fault…  |

I’m terrible at quitting
Jobs (except my last one - which was an absolute cleared my desk and blazed out in glorious fury)
People - I keep seeing the best in them. I’m a fixer. Some people can’t be fixed. Some don’t want to be.
Habits - hey if they weren’t fun, why did they become habits in the first place.
Fab - I keep saying I’ll leave when it stops being fun. I do wonder if I will though.
I really need to lose my stubborn streak.

Been there, tried it. I'm happy to live without now. |

I'm terrible at giving up on something. I want to fix things and make it right more than anything. Plus I dislike confrontation with people.
But I have been known to say enough is enough, and explain why I can't continue the way it is. I generally give people a chance to resolve the issue. If that doesn't change anything then I know I've done my best. |

Depends on what/who etc
People, I have a limit like most, when I'm done, I'm done. I will walk away and not look back.
Jobs, I have to be realistic. I'd love to leave my current one tomorrow but I won't leave myself without another job to move on to so I'll stick it out until I have something else. |

It’s hard isn’t dear Nerolicious, to feel things so deeply  |
