How have I believed that my life would be manageable if only others around me would do as I wanted?

3. How have I believed that my life would be manageable if only others around me would do as I wanted?

I don't know if I even agree with this question. I can't say that I have been impacted by how others have acted; I feel as if I am pretty independent of others and lately I feel like most people (family and friends) are independent of me.

I suppose that my living situation would improve if Cynthia, my house mate, were a little more amendable to 'carrying' more of the load. I say that but then I realize there are times when it is she that has to accomodate me and my lack of initiative. We don't have a lot of interaction in our tasks - but there are times when we do end up in crossed paths. At times when I want to do something in the kitchen she will also be trying to do something so we end up in the this little dance - (small kitchen, big people). There are times when I just vacate the room because our interchanges annoy me. Easier to clear out and come back when she has finished. I guess what does really bug me is when I have already started something and she will come in to do some cooking. That is irritating . I suppose in the scheme of things thats a pretty minor situation. Its not like having to deal with a spouse making demands or not wanting to give a little in return.
