Not to sound jaded...but maybe just a little...

I was recently asked what's my vice/bad habit I know i need to break but just can't/haven't yet. Of course like most people I have more than one but right now I will focus on one specifically. I have a habit of doing unto others as I want/expect them to do unto me and the result is that I tend to inflate what I think my value is/should be in other peoples lives. And the problem with expectations is that they usually breed disappointments. I really do think I am one of the most unselfish people I know or that most people know. I fully believe that people are aware of how unselfish I am. I also think that that awareness simply gives people license to ask/want/expect shit of me but in no way does this equal reciprocity in their minds. And I'm really good for not speaking on my own wants/needs/expectations until after the fact, if ever at all. So I guess in a nutshell, I need to stop trying to be a good person and just do whatever the fuck I want and whoever wants to stick around and deal with it; cool. Because I definitely know some pricks who still manage to have friends and loved-ones, so it's totally possible and probably a fuck of a lot easier than what I've been doing!!
