[sigh] Dang I've felt that... not hate but utter annoyance but... I chose save and got hurt. Whatever.

I saved them. I opened their parents eyes. I got in trouble with my own parents. Trouble came up again. Their parents blamed me. My own parents blamed me. I'm trying to set everything straight with absolutely no help, and I'm not succeeding.
I didn't even get a pat in the back for my efforts.

Don't break yourself trying to save them. While they have you to save them, a medal can't help you much.

I've felt like this before. I love this secret, though. Good for you for saving them, I didn't.

That last part made me smile
I think people should just lay off the ST. I'm pretty sure they just said it in a joking, sarcastic way. Not that they hope they get something in return.

To those commenting on the "medal" bit and about how ST shouldn't need/want a reward....I think they're just trying to show that they're going to choose saving. I read it as more of a half-smile, sarcastic comment personally, anyway.

Yeah.
I took it that way too :/
like a half joke. I think they're just saying they hope the person appreciates the saving...

Save, carry on hating if you must. Why should you get a medal for it? It seems rather arrogant, I'm sure everyone's saved someone.

There are some things you should do without wanting material rewards.

Save them. After all, if they were gone, who would you have to hate?

Besides the fact that I really dislike the concept of someone "saving" another person (in the sense that they believe they are the absolute cause for safety or sanity, when really they probably only play a small part in it) this particular deviant expecting some sort of medal for gratifying their hero complex is rather sad.
I understand that I could be misinterpreting the statement, it could have some underlying meaning - but it could just be what it is too, which to me, is rather holier than thou.
A person with such an attitude is more likely to irritate the problem, rather than improve it. Just a feeling, though.

maybe the person really needs their help, but doesn't want it? Maybe the person really needs... saving.
I guess we'll never know.

Not sure how that is relevant to what I said, but yeah.

Well, you said that the ST was arrogant for saying that he should save the person...
Maybe the person needed saving. Not so arrogant that way.

I think you misread my post.

oh... did i?
My apologies then.

Knowing a similar situation, a someone can be the single trigger, though.
I tend to believe whatever would happen inevitably, but someone can speed up the process and make things easier.
And I also believe the medal is sarcastic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aye. Like I said to someone else, if it is sarcasm my opinion remains the same.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
i agree with you. well said

Hard to tell with writing, but I believe the teller is being sarcastic when he/she talks about getting a medal.
Just a thought.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If so, my opinion remains the same.

Just because you hate someone doesn't mean you shouldn't save them, that is, if it's not so much hate you want them to die.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Me neither. I don't even know if they'll let me save them. I hope this works out for you.

I was in a situation similar (and my similar, I probably just mean in context, most likely nothing like yours) where I had that choice. For a while, I tried and tried to save him. Then, I just gave up and hated him. He ended up in the hospital that night for taking too many advil, thankfully, right after he did so he told his mother (because he didn't want to die).
By hating him, I tried to give him a wakeup call, but by his reaction, he gave himself one.
Maybe you just need to be supportive, but not necessarily to the point where you are draining yourself. Sometimes, people need to figure things out on their own.

Save them because its the right thing to do. But don't stop hating them ;D

Saving seems the pleasanter of the two.
