Tells you a lot about how they see you, doesn't it? I recently told a friend how uncomfortable I feel with the lack of reciprocity in my relationships. Our conversation was about a big issue not relating to her, but while talking about that, I mentioned my visits to her home when she & her husband moved to various states in the U.S., and also abroad, when she didn't visit me until (finally) once last year. She actually reacted indignantly, but since she couldn't deny the facts, she ended up just sputtering. I'm working on making new friends. It really is my responsibility to make it clear to people that friendship with me involves reciprocity. |
| Please give examples how people use you? |
My mother is like that too. Listening to that BS is exhausting. Some people have a perpetual victim thing. |
I love you. OF COURSE they are NOT going to take it well - they are users who survive only by people like you. If they had to do it on their own they would not know where to start. NOT YOUR PROBLEM. Yes, I am yelling. Start using your resources for yourself, and surround yourself with positive. And don't think twice about telling the users to go fuck themselves, just like everyone else has. This primitive D.C. jungle ain't no place for kind and considerate. |
Wow, you all are harsh. Good luck finding better people to hang around with. |
I have, and its not you. Its wonderful.

Users will just rampage across anything that is not defended - your property, your time, your body and most especially your trust and self-respect.
Good fences make good neighbors. Value your property, your time, your body, your trust and your self-respect. Don't let anybody just walk by and use you how they want. Set a standard and the people who can't meet it pretty much vaporize out of your life when they realize you wised up and no means no. |
