Lots of athletes need help, if you all haven't noticed. Who better to help then America's premier advice giver, Dear Abby? Maybe she can help some people solve their problems, no matter how odd they are.
Dear Abby,
Over the last few years, I have run out every person I know out of town.The only person I convinced to come back only did so because he has a girlfriend out here.As a result, I try extra hard at work and my coworkers are not appreciating it.I do most of the work and am willing to take the blame when the outcome is bad.The one time I stepped aside, I was criticized by everyone.I don’t know what to do.
Sincerely,
Lonely in Los Angeles
Dear Lonely,
You have to be willing to share the load with your coworkers.It seems like you are trying to validate yourself by carrying the burden.Perhaps there is something in your past, maybe involving your marriage that has caused you to be so self-centered.It is time to trust those around you and let them share in the workload and that will lead to greater things.
Dear Abby,
I am having a hard time in dealing with traffic.Just last week, I bumped a car in front of me just so I could get past. The thing is, I know this person and he has done something to me before.Am I justified or did I go too far?
Sincerely,
Reckless in Chicago
Dear Reckless,
Sometimes, you have to go around and avoid the problem rather than make it worse.I think that you are looking for attention however you can get; it doesn’t matter if it is positive or negative.It is time for you to take responsibility for your actions otherwise you will lose respect.
Dear Abby,
There are people out to get me.They think I did something on purpose, but I said it was an accident.Now I am being accused of things that are unrelated just so I get punished.People are also upset because I am now recognized as being one of the best ever.I can’t live a normal life and I am afraid to say or do anything.What did I do to deserve all this?
Sincerely,
Scared in San Fran
Dear Scared,
There is an old saying, it goes, “the truth shall set you free”.I suggest you follow this and perhaps people will not be so hard on you.By hiding, you are only making it worse.Be nice to those people who you made upset, perhaps that is a reason they are not on your side.You just have to face the music and in the end, the facts will come forward and prevail.
Dear Abby,
I have a thing for bad boys.Over the past year, I have developed relationships with several guys who have committed crimes.One has been arrested 4 times in 7 months; another is facing robbery charges; and a third is suspended from work for a month for a positive drug test.I see so many good things in these people, why can’t everyone else?
Sincerely,
Careless in Cincinnati
Dear Careless,
There is a reason why no one else sees those things and subsequently wants nothing to do with those men.Sometimes, a person is only as good as the worst thing they have done.By surrounding yourself and others with these kinds of people, you are only setting yourself up for something worse.Some men can change, but you can do better than that.
Dear Abby,
There is a writer on the FoxSports blogs that makes fun of me all the time.He says that I am worthless and I turn him off completely.Also, he tells people that I make too much money and don’t deserve it.Is there any way that I can win him over?
Miserable in Milwaukee
Dear Miserable,
If you improve yourself, he will come around.You did go to my alma mater, which makes you a good person.As for the money, the only way you can deserve it is by producing.It’s time to justify your employer’s decision to sign you to such a large sum of money.
