Expect Nothing In Return

Every time I get frustrated at a person, I tell myself "No one owes you anything. You pour yourself out and give yourself, and expect nothing in return. If you get any perks (like friendship) out of it, that's a bonus." I don't know how healthy that mindset is, but I usually hold to it. If people are unresponsive or rude or hard to deal with, I just remember that I'm doing my part, and continue to do so, regardless of how they act about it.

I'm not so sure that it's healthy though. Because I think of people this way, I think of them as fickle, and don't tend to trust people all that far. Maybe that's normal and healthy, but maybe not.
