Do you agree that sometimes you have to give up on people?(both)

Not because you don't care, but because they don't care.
Staying around, trying to help someone who does not make any effort to help themselves can drag you down as well.
Let it go and retain your sanity.

I have. Walking away from people I've loved more than anyone because they regarded me in a way that I didn't need has been some of the hardest things I've experienced in this lifetime. I've had to shed some friends and loves I really wanted to better but just couldn't.

@Starcrossed The thing is, we move on knowing that we tried to bring some pleasure into their lives.
We had a go, it was not appreciated so we moved on.
If we keep bashing our head against a brick way all we end up with is a bloody face.

@Gusman except that one, I knew it wasn't done. Walked away a couple times. Like magnets, we find ourselves drawn back. Maybe that person and I are both masochists ;)
