This might be the hardest question for me also the others.
My confession is I don't know... and used to know only how to care/treat other people and made them pleased as much as they wanted. Most of the time over their expectations also expected their pleasure in return.
Am the one who used to care everybody I knows. Trying to please them all as I could especially whom I liked the most. I did the best take care as I could no matter how much I had to pay with all my money, time and energy. Also trying to break the barrier of expectations with "always over expectations".
Finally, I became the one who didn't care myself at all!
The boomerang effect is the pressure of expectation. More you treat to please more expectations will be waiting for you...always...more and more pressure you will be suffered.
Moreover, I had to think what they were thinking or feeling pleasure about me in return even they might not think about me at all. So I call "expectation"
Some told me that parents especially mother cares you the most. Am not totally agree with this coz I think it's mom duty to care and look after their child until death tears them apart. They had to plan also make sure that they could raise/feed their child and took full responsibility before they make a baby.
Or some told lover/partner...I already know it's only temporary feeling especially in honeymoon or promotion period.
Lessons learned for me:
- Don't care everybody too much than myself.
- Some might suffered too much pressure from my over care and felt uncomfortable but didn't tell me suddenly to keep in good relationship.
- Care and love myself the most but not be selfish.
- It's impossible to make everybody pleased.
- Myself FIRST!
- Stop thinking what others thinking about myself even they didn't thinking so I don't care anymore!
- Am the only one who will live with myself til I die.
Now I only know who cares me the most is "the ONE who could LISTEN to me when am SILENT" and also know that it might be "ME"
So...WHO CARES!
Ps. "LISTEN" and "SILENT" spelt with same letters.
