Too Old for Drama

I have gotten too old to appreciate the drama people create for themselves.
You know what I mean--those people who seem to crash headlong from one crisis to the next, and seem to be followed around by black clouds.  Sometimes I think they just conjure those thunderheads up for the sake of gaining attention.  And I am just done with it.  I am done walking on eggshells so as not to hurt anyone's delicate feelings.  I am just done.
You would find it difficult to find another person who has more empathy and sympathy that I have. Because I have not had an easy life either.  I know how it feels to lose someone you love early in life. I know how it feels to be bullied.  I know how it feels to be rejected and desperate for attention.  I know how it feels to be taken advantage of.  I know how it feels to be abused, verbally, physically, and emotionally.  I know how it feels to be the sole provider, with others depending on you for their survival.  I know how it feels to be frustrated, unseen, unappreciated, overwhelmed by responsibility.  I know how it feels to be poor, really poor.  I know how it feels to be alone.  I know how it feels to be lonely.  I know love.  I know rage.  I know disappointment.  I know betrayal.  I know all these things.  These experiences have helped make me who I am.  I am not afraid, I am not bitter or jaded or even cynical.  But don't sit around and say, poor me, poor me.  I am so persecuted, nobody loves me, I think I'll go eat worms.
I am tired.  I am tired of people who whine and moan about their misfortune and won't work to help themselves.  I am tired of leading those horses to water, only see them turn their heads away, and choose not to drink.  I am done with people who think the entire world revolves around them, and that every tiny thing is all about them and their world.
So, to those people who are whiny and self-centered:  Get over yourselves.  Move on.  Get therapy.  Do the work.  Be a productive member of society.  Do something for someone else, for crying out loud.  And don't expect anyone to say Thanks.  Do something nice because it's the right thing to do, and it's what a good person does.
