Points To Ponder...

Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them! ~ Lou Holtz
I wonder if this is true... think

What's your take on this? I could use some advice.

If you confide to a stranger then tida heran la kalau diorang tida peduli. Tapi glad that u have them? Mcm zalim betul kedengaran bah...

Nessa said...

Thanks for your thoughts Mama Mia :)

Yup, maybe to a total stranger, they don't really care about your probs.

This reminds me of another saying... never trust anyone but yourself.

Anny said...

Those who love you will care and the others that don't and glad you have them... urmm.. u don't need those friends.

Nessa said...

Haha! Anny always soothes my frazzled nerves :D Who needs 'em huh! Shooh shooooh.... :P

Spiffy said...

I have to agree with you. Most people don't really care unless those close to you. And those that are not close to you who actually cares must have something up their sleeves! You're right to just shoo them away :D

Nessa said...

Ooops! Just added the name of the person who quoted this... the saying is not mine, Spiffy :)

You mean got udang di sebalik batu la. Hmmm... gotta know whom you can trust and who you cannot trust ya.

maslight said...

Hmmm, never tell anything to anyone that you dun trust. Banyak back stabbers XD

C said...

I agree with this.

Well, I agrEED with this...before...for a long time...but then I surrounded myself with people who really DO care...and so now...I don't have to agree with it anymore... :)

Nessa said...

I hate back stabbers, Mas.

I would rather people tell me upfront (even though it hurts) than be nice to me and say all kinds of things behind my back without knowing the truth.

Nessa said...

Hi Charity!

You're fortunate and so blessed to be surrounded with people who cares :) Most are not so fortunate.

There are people who pretend to care, wants to know everything but their intention is to bring one down. I try to avoid these type of people, it's hard to detect them at first but gradually you will see their true colors.

chegu carol said...

i agree about the 'dont care' but not sure about 'glad u have it'.

i dont usually confide my personal problems with people other than my husband. kici2 punya problem such as work problems, it's biasa lah to share with your colleagues who most probably will understand your problems. if masalah dalaman diri sendiri...i 'talk' to my personal journal. ok kah tu? :D

Duni said...

Hahaha!
I think it depends on the problem. Mostly i keep mine to myself...usually I figure out a solution anyway. I don't like being distracted by other people's so-called advice!

baincardin said...

I think, it depends laa nessa...lagi kenal org itu akak kamu, lagi dia mau dengar....betul ke? ^_^

baincardin said...

*akak=akan....:)

Hola Nessa!

Mariuca said...

If u confide in strangers, they might have an unbiased opinion so in dat sense it's good. :)

Mariuca said...

But lately I'd much rather confide in B than my GFs...;)

Buzzing J said...

Know what?

Unfortunately, I'm one of the 20%.

Fortunately, I'm not one of the 80%.

Does that help?

Wait ... I'm one of the 20% :-)

Nessa said...

Chegu Carol ~ I think the spesis yang 'glad you have it' memang ada (devils in disguise). So, we have to be wary :)

Ya, if work related memang biasa kalu bincang2 and share with colleagues.

Sia lama sudah inda tulis2 personal diary. Especially semenjak ada blog ni. Tapi of course if it's too personal, I don think it's wise to write everything in one's blog kan.

Nessa said...

Duni ~ I mostly keep my probs to myself too unless if I really, really can't handle it. Not because I'm too proud or anything, just don't want to inconvenience anyone.

Nessa said...

Bain ~ Hmmmm... mungkin pecahannya begini :~ 1% willing to help (family members, close frens, spouse), 20% don't care and 79% glad we have probs!

Well, 1% is still better than none ya :)

Nessa said...

Hola Marzie!

Opinions are always welcomed. That's true oso, cos sometimes our close frens tend to jaga our hati ya.

We learn from our past experience ya :)

Nessa said...

Buzzing J ~ Thank god you're not one of the 80%! :D

rizal said...

olla nessa,

itu memang sesuatu untuk difikirkan.

Rasanya kalau orang luar memang macam tu kot, tapi kalau rakan2 yang dekat, tak kot.

Rizal tak pernah la pulak fikir macam tu bila member ceritakan masalahnya.

Mungkin ayat tu dicakap oleh orang yang benci dunia kot. LoL

Nessa said...

Hai Rizal :)

Rakan rapat mungkin la tapi ada segelintir rakan yang berbuat baik kat depan tapi memburuk-burukkan kita di belakang.

Seharusnya kita jangan la berasa gembira dengan kesusahan orang lain kan, mana tau di kemudian hari kita pulak yang kena... karma itu... urmm... macam mana nak translate 'Karma is a bitch??'

Mungkin jugak, mungkin Lou Holtz ni selalu dikecewakan oleh rakan2 nya sendiri.. kesian ye.

Angel said...

I think there's always the 5% who would listen, feel your pain and try to help. Those are the people who loves you. And even tho 5% is very little, it still counts.. :)

Nessa said...

Angel ~ Quality over quantity, they say :)
