| I was shocked. Was she cheating right in front of | | | | how people are treating you, without even |
| me, not even caring? I went up to the high school | | | | realizing that you are not treating other people |
| that day to pick my girlfriend up from school and | | | | very well yourself. |
| wound up going home by myself while she rode | | | | If you don't come by it naturally, and most of us |
| home with another guy. That was the beginning | | | | don't, except when we've just won the lottery |
| of the end of that relationship and I hadn't seen it | | | | and everything is great with the world, you should |
| coming. I hadn't been paying attention, I'd been | | | | practice focusing your awareness to observe how |
| taking her affection for me for granted. And, it | | | | you are treating other people. Don't take your |
| goes without saying, I had probably not been | | | | friends and loved one's for granted. It's very easy |
| paying much attention either, to how I had been | | | | to do. Without any intention of doing so, you can |
| treating her. | | | | be short, critical, impatient, inattentive or unloving |
| But, I had learned a lesson from that sweet girl. I | | | | because you aren't bothering to be aware of the |
| needed to pay a lot of attention to how I treated | | | | affect of your own behavior on the people |
| other people and how they were treating me, | | | | around you. |
| instead of being satisfied with hearing words that | | | | And among all the other things you have on your |
| made me feel good. If you want to know how | | | | mind at any one time, you're wondering why your |
| someone feels about you, pay a lot of attention | | | | wife or husband, girlfriend or boyfriend is treating |
| to how they treat you and how they treat | | | | you as if they aren't much interested in you at |
| others. | | | | best, and don't particularly like you much at worst. |
| If your girlfriend leaves with another guy when | | | | On the other hand, you need to take into |
| you show up to take her home, it's a pretty good | | | | consideration that everyone else can be having a |
| sign she's about done with you, no matter what | | | | hard time or a bad day, just like you do and may |
| she says to the contrary. | | | | not be aware themselves of how they are |
| Don't concern yourself with whether or not your | | | | treating you. In other words, it may not have |
| girlfriend "loves" you, or even likes you, pay | | | | anything to do with you. Be considerate of what's |
| attention to how she treats you. Would you really | | | | going on with them. If your girlfriend has just |
| want a girlfriend who treats you like crap, but tells | | | | failed her math exam, and isn't paying a whole lot |
| you she loves you every five minutes. Or would | | | | of attention to you, that's probably not a good |
| you prefer a girl who acts like she adores you, | | | | time to tell her she isn't acting like she loves you. |
| but never tells you she loves you at all? | | | | If you're treating her right, and you're sure of it, |
| Personally, I'd rather be adored any day. | | | | and she isn't treating you as if she cares much |
| So, pay attention to how she treats you. And | | | | about you, she probably doesn't. And if she really |
| before you get too involved with that, spend | | | | does care about you, but treats you badly, |
| even more time observing how you treat her. It's | | | | maybe you should look for someone who doesn't |
| extremely easy when you have a of things on | | | | tell you how much she cares about you very |
| your mind, when you're concerned with your | | | | often, but treats you like you're the greatest guy |
| studies or work situations, to be very sensitive to | | | | in the world. |
