I have been through that phase in my life, I had become bitter, angry, hateful.
The things is it’s because you care too much, you have a good heart, you’re punctual available to them.
When something/someone is too good no one knows its/their value because it’s always at their reach, they only know the value of something that is rare, and they have to sweat, or get out of their way to reach out. Be a tantalum, iridium, gold 😂, these metals are valuable, expensive, because they are rare. If they were available like copper, zinc, iron that are available almost everywhere they wouldn’t be rare or expensive. You’ve said it, you feel like you’ve been taken advantage of. Stop being available, stay as you are, kind, be kind for yourself with yourself, they’ll keep reaching out, but you won’t be as available as you were.
Don’t expect anything back after you give someone an advise, just be reserve about it and stay professional, detach yourself from them or their situation.
I feel like I should have known this a long time ago? Don’t stop being kind, is being kind part of your true-self, or for the validation of others?
Stay kind, if you feel that their entourage is going to drain your energy, stop participating, don’t go where they are. don’t force yourself, take your power where you feel control of how you want to feel.
Know that not everyone deserves your energy.
You’re not a therapist, so make them answer their own questions too.

Yeah it definitely happens. I think most people are deep down ultimately focused on themselves and thats something we all have to fight against and overcome. We are survival minded individuals who are automatically geared towards taking care of ourselves so in doing that sometimes we might not even know we are taking advantage of people, it's just happening naturally.
People by nature are self centered creatures because we view things from a first person perspective. It's up to each of us to correct that and work hard to have empathy and see things from other people's perspectives. We should all work harder to be more mindful of others.
No. Because I'm impervious to feeling bad for anyone on here. I assume somebody is lying at least 50% of the time. So whatever someone tells me is already 50% 🦬💩. Also I learned a secret to happiness long ago. NO EXPECTATIONS. I never expect anything, from anybody, anytime, ever. You can't hurt me, because I don't expect you to be decent human being. I expect you to be a price of 💩. And therefore I am never let down. I'm not kind. And I'm not trying to be. I'm trying to give people what I feel they need. Some people that's a reality check and a smack up side the head, some people that's a hug. But I DO NOT care how they respond to it. Because I didn't do it for them. I did it because it was the right thing to do.
Nah. Not anymore. But only because I've become completely okay with being disagreeable over the years. Like I give no fucks now it's crazy. I'm also less willing to help people in many ways. I don't like to be bothered most times.

I feel you 🥲 . You have to put yourself first sometimes or people will take advantage. And don't drain your good energy for everyone because not everyone deserves it.
yes but stay kind
Yup! Definatly notice my kindness taken advantage of.. People seam to think if you forgive them they can do it all again..
Yes, it happens. Give an inch and someone will take a mile.
Everything okay? And yeah I agree.. I call those people energy vampires.
You don't need to take it to your heart. It's like they might be feeling too low so they tell you to lighten up their mood and I know it might be disturbing for you but you shouldn't think too much. God is there so see everyone. If you are helping someone God is there to pay you. Stop thinking about people. They are just bullshit. If you are helping someone God will send someone to help you...
I don't want to bother you.. just curious.. what you drinking?
That’s when you stop being nice friend
yes it is often
