What is your breaking point? Why?
The 11th grade. I was known as the candyman. I'd spend about 60 to 70 dollars a week on candy, and bring it to school to share, and to sell (I sold it to people I didn't like, but gave it to 2 or 3 kids I liked). We had this one girl (the “hot" girl of the class, who had learned to use her looks to get whatever she wanted. Which included free candy. One day, in government class, she was drawing on her desk, and talking about getting high and drunk the previous weekend, and then she reached back, and took a whole bag of bubblegum sticks, and a whole bag of pixie stix. (It was right before Halloween, and they were big bags. 180 sticks each). I'd finally had enough of her mooching just because she though she was hot enough to get away with it. I told her no. For the first time in 3 years.She turned around, looked at me weird, and said “what?” come on, you've got 3 more bags in your locker”. I said no again. Then I said “ if you can afford weed and that crappy vodka you drink all the time, you can afford the candy. I'm not your personal candy supplier, if you want it, you have to pay, like everybody else.”There have been a few other times like that, but that was the first. I've always been the kind of person who let's things build up, until I break. Although, I have gotten better, especially over the last few years, at growing a pair, and standing up to users, and people of that caliber.

What's your breaking point?
Just when I think I have reached it, it goes to another Level... and life goes on!
At my breaking point of my puppy biting...help.?
My puppy is 2 months old. She's toy poodle and toy rat terrier mixed. She is incredibly annoying. She has plenty of toys to play/chew with. I can be sitting on the couch and the dog is running around the room playing with toys, she will randomly walk up to me and bit my toes, hard. It's VERY annoying. I've tried the high pitched "ow" sound to mimic a puppy in the litter that's been bitten too hard...that MAY stop her in the moment, but 2 seconds later she bites again. She bites when I try to pet her, pick her up, put a leash on...and her a treat..if my hands smell like food. NOTHING helps! I've been around other puppies that aren't like this!
What is everyone's breaking point?
Are you asking if everyone has the same exact breaking point, and what that breaking point is? If that is what you are asking… there isn’t one.Are you asking what a “breaking point” is? That’s where a change of state occurs, usually due to stress or trauma. Going from being calm, to being angry and yelling, you’d have just crossed your breaking point.People will often use the phrase to mean something less dramatic. Breaking point can be used in reference to the point where someone submits to torture and begins to talk… or the point where dad loses his cool and starts yelling… or the point where mom loses it and ceases to talk or move.There is no one, singular breaking point, because each person is different, and each situation that involves a point where a person could be considered “broken” as compared to their previous state is different as well.Some people handle stress very well, and have high breaking points. Some people don’t handle stress very well, and have low breaking points. If you stop and pay attention to the world every once in a while, you’ll see that everyone has different breaking points. You can multiple people deal with the same eccentric waiter or cashier, and see how they react in different ways. Hell, I’m sure you can remember some people who snapped at things that you’d never imagine would be snapped at. You can most likely remember examples you’ve observed of different people having different breaking points.… now that you know what it is, at any rate.
Almost at my breaking point. ?
Exposure therapy is the most effective way of overcoming your fears. Force yourself to do the things that you don't feel comfortable doing. Open up to people, ask questions, share your secrets. Once you get used to it, you'll start to notice how beneficial it can be. You'll feel so much better about yourself. It's okay to ask for help. And trust me, people are very happy to help. You just need to trust them! It's okay to do things for yourself. YOU are the only person in the world that matters, because if you didn't have YOU, well there would be nothing. Not sure if that makes sense, but my point is look out for number one. I used to hate talking about myself to people. I'd keep everything to myself for the fear of being judged or sounding annoying. I started sharing more and more about myself to my friends. I really opened up this past year. I was always there for them when they needed to vent but I was afraid they wouldn't do the same for me. But they did. They have helped me with a lot of things and really put my mind at ease (especially with guy stuff)! I have never felt better about myself. May your dreams come true and have a wonderful evening.
Reaching my breaking point?
Well, unfortunately, it is usually impossible to change other people. So there is probably nothing you can do or say to get others to help with housework or to make your brothers pay rent. What you need to do is focus on yourself, because you are the only person you have control over. What I mean is, take responsibility for your situation... For example, you choose to stay home because you don't want your husband to feel lonely. But this is your choice. No one is forcing you to do it. It is totally normal and OK to socialize a couple of nights per week--as long as you don't go out every night without your husband and kid. Your husband is an adult. He needs to learn how to be more social if he wants a social life. You should both talk about activities to do together. Maybe you could walk around the neighborhood or to the park together. Maybe you could join a soccer team together. But if he won't make an effort, stand up for yourself and go out without him. You should have at least one social event per week without him, because it is healthy to have friends. If you allow him to stop you from having friends, then you are making a mistake and you are responsible for it. Here are the other ways you need to take responsibility for your situation. If you don't want to clean, don't do it. And ask your husband to help. If you feel it is unfair that you have to pay rent and no one else does, move. Even if you have to move into a small place. Finally, of course life is hard right now... You chose to have a child at a very young age, you chose to get married, you chose to attend school. Most people wait until they are out of school before getting married and having kids. You need to accept that you didn't. But don't feel too down... Things will improve. In a couple of years, you'll be out of school and your kid will need less care. Bottom line: things suck right now, but they will improve. To feel better right now, start standing up for yourself. If you allow your husband to limit your social life, if you choose to do all the chores, you are responsible for your situation. You need to grow a spine and draw some boundaries. Otherwise nothing will improve. Good luck.
