I'm 23 and still live at home with my younger siblings and I always feel trapped by always having to do the right thing or "fake" like it's thre right thing to do, just to not look like failure in front of them! Life in general I think people set standards for me that I don't want to live up to because they think I'm smart! And I'm not using my gifts the right way, but I Just want to be happy and live by my standards because I am an individual and I do have a say so in what to do with my my life because it is MINE!

We CANNOT take responsibility for ALL of our life as we're not God and we can't control other people. I think the teaching that we are the cause of all events in our lives is misleading, irresponsible and can even lead to mental illness because it simply is not true. That our thought, feelings and reactions are involved in the outcomes we aim for, is true. However, as you said: "in every case, you have a responsibility for what you’re doing about it now". So we can take a a large amount of responsiblity for whether or not we accept the situation, or forge forward to change it. Well said. Doug I think you’ve raised an important point about responsibility and I’d like to see it explored more.

It is also my own fault that I can't get out from under any of them. I have the opposite problem because I truly want to let others help me, but find it impossible.

I'm always astounded to discover there are people well into adulthood who still refuse this kind of accountability. It's a basic truth that unless you take responsibility for what happens to you, you absolve yourself of any power to change it. Your point about standing up for what you want, at least trying to influence the outcome of things, is particularly well made. Thanks for sharing. Great article, Ali.

This does not mean your are responsible for every little thing which happens to you in your life, but you are responsible for the general picture your life takes. You have the key.
