"Sorry, I forgot that i only existed when you needed something"-Unknown
I think we can all agree when I say that all of us have been used before. Just knowing that someone only wants to be around you when they want something is horrible. So what do you know when you finally realize that you're someones "help?"
When I feel like I am being used by a friend, family member or lover, I first confront them. Tell them how I feel. If I don't see any changes in our relationship, I just kindly let that person go. What's the point of having someone in your life who keeps taking from you but you never receive anything back? Taking advantage of someone kindness is not acting out of love.......that is being pure selfish.
Wanna know how you can determine whether you are being used or not? Here are a few tips:
If in a relationship, if a guy or girl calls you after club hours trying to come over but they never want to see you in the daytime, you are being used.
If that person lives far away, has a car but when they want to see you, you're always the one driving out to see them, you are clearly being used. Someone who cares will either do the same for you or at least meets you half way.
If you are someones last option, you are being used.
If you are always giving that person gifts and you never get anything back, you are being used.
If you never hear from that person until they need a favor, you are being used.
KNOW YOUR WORTH! People will continue to use you because you let them. Don't let anyone, not even a friend or family member take your kindness for weakness. If you don't put your foot down, you'll continue to be someones door mat. Not only will you be looked at as the "Weakness Link", you will make yourself unhappy. Do yourself a favor and get rid of the dead weight in your life. I hope this helps someone in need of this message.
