Why is it that people take your kindness for weakness? And not appreciate you as a friend, lover, co-worker etc.?

I’m finding out more and more as I try to better myself, my soul, and my attitude that for so long I’ve allowed people to “get over” on me. The friends who only call when they need something, the men who only wanna hang out when I was living alone, and co-workers who take “Sure, I’ll help out” to the extreme.

How do you find balance and in a positive way assert that you will not tolerate not being appreciated, used,  or being taken for a fool?

I’m learning that only you can make the change as you can’t change anybody else. If someone’s not appreciating your supportive efforts, let them know how you feel- in a productive, non-negative way. Then if they don’t change, you stop.

Life is too short to waste time on people whom don’t get it. Obviously they can’t see what their behavior is doing so why would you keep wasting time, your words, and ultimately your life attempting to deal with someone who doesn’t appreciate you? make sense.

Not everyone is meant to be with you on your journey. Some for a lifetime, other’s for a season. Allow god to show you whose time is limited and whose down for life, and when he does don’t hesitate to close the door on temporary folk once they've served their purpose. You wouldn't knowingly drink spoiled milk would you? NOPE! TRUST ME ~ME

This may not be the most “Christian” way to go about things but I can only do what’s on my heart and pray I’m doing the right thing.

I refuse to be cool with people who only NEED ME but don’t contribute to my life in a positive productive way.

I refuse to be cool with men who only see a quick nut when they look at me.

I refuse to be bitter about either of those situations…

I’m gonna be better and open up my life to other’s and give them a chance to get to know the changed me.

THOSE SITUATIONS ARE DEAD. No need to water a dead flower, just pluck it out your garden and plant more seeds and tend to those.
The other’s loss *kanye shrug*
GET BACK 2 BIDNESS! *in my bey voice*
