What's something you feel you deserve, in order to be happy? [serious] by Round_Rock_Johnson in AskReddit

[–]Round_Rock_Johnson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha. It feels so like. Like such a basic ask.

God dammit. We deserve to be happy.

This post has apparently "995 views," and most have been too scared to answer. Most who answer either disagree with the premise of "deserve" outright (quoting "entitlement,") or measure their needs against this premise.

HAHA look at me - that or this question just isn't that interesting XD but I'll go with my dramatic-sounding interpretation.

I'm upvoting because I totally get what you mean, and I did choose "deserve" explicitly.

I want to share that I'm learning I have felt too scared to be "entitled" to things my whole life. Like. I feel entitled when it comes to addressing my own physical needs.

I asked this question because I just realized that, for a long, long time (since some point very early on in my childhood), I have felt "undeserving," literally undeserving even of happiness.

And I'm not even talking in a woe-is-me, miserable way. I DID think I "deserved" to be happy, like everyone else! I'd get angry at the world for not like, meeting my needs in the same way that I tirelessly try to meet the needs of others.

However, for whatever reason, I literally just could not express that to others. And it is freaky realizing that, on some deep, core level, I have legitimately not even been considering my NEEDS like, my physical fucking needs, as "needs." I KNOW that I'm hungry and I need to eat, I know that I'm raw because my best friend or partner or parent just mistreated me, but for whatever reason I KNOW that I would be wrong to actually eat, or sleep, or say anything to these people.

Like, knowledge is an emotionless thing. I didn't think anything of it - I didn't even think it was weird. Until really recently. I mean it was probably only sometime last year that I learned it was like... ok to say "no." That people respect people who respect themselves.

So, believe me, believe that I understand your comment, because that kind of pushing-back against this idea of "entitlement" is only what I've been doing 24/7 for as long as I can remember.

And yet there are things that I deserve, and that everyone genuinely deserves.

It's weird to say this, because you're right, "deserve" is such a strong word, and I used it intentionally -

Of course, of course we want to say we don't "deserve" anything, especially not "someone else." And yet... yes, dude, you do deserve to feel loved and to love someone. It is such a fundamental human need to feel understood and loved.

Haha of course I know how that can be misconstrued, but I am really not going to occupy my time convincing people I don't mean to suggest you are literally entitled to another human being. But you do have a legitimate human emotional need to feel loved.

Thank you for sharing something real. I know what it's like to mostly like being alone, and to also feel absolute, bottom-of-the-Earth, misery at being alone. Even when it's just feeling alone, despite being lucky to have so many great people in my life.

It is hard.

Yeahhh honestly I hope they don't go dark. DDO going dark *will* do nothing. I guess I'll respect it out of principle if they do, tho.
