anyone ever get their kindness taken for weakness * 1
    #23501717 - 08/02/16 12:24 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

seems like all good i try to do in the world gets taken of advantage of and used. is there no fucking humanity and love anymore in this world? im honesty shocked when people do the right thing these days.... like returning a wallet or helping someone thats obviously in need. becoming more and more like were separated instead of one group of people trying to get by. :shrug: just making me sad today, whats everyones opinion?

its part of maturing, learning when people are not worth the effort.

i agree there is almost a disbelief when people do the right thing and go out of their way because we are so calloused towards anything suffering that is not our own.

just have to keep on keeping on and not let it stop you from doing it when it is the right situation, just can't be every situation.

Yeah, this happens to me a lot :shrug: I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and offer a helping hand when they're in need, and though some people respect it, many others take advantage of it and walk all over me. People are shitty.

like is it so fucking hard to see that you should help someone in need instead of seeing them as prey because they're down? :shrug: i believe in karma so im going to continue on my path. i feel everyone should treat others how they would want to be

Agreed.

It's easier to be nice and care than it is to not give a shit for me.

Unfortunately, I do notice the tendency in many people to take advantage of others..
"Others" sometimes includes me. I don't wanna shut people out, but I've been growing ever more jaded

Knowing what work means to people.  It is work to help people.  Just interacting is work.  I used to get taken advantage of a lot, then I directed my anger into awareness.  Still working on elevating but gotta give up on people.

Yes reb. All my life. My friends are very protective of me because throughout my life . To give an example. I met a friend of my friends one day and he asked if he could crash on the couch. For 2 weeks he ate all my food and lived there. And that was my parents house . So my friends found out what was happening and kind of yelled at him for taking all this food from me and stuff. Basically a group of 4 friends convinced him to leave because I would NOT kick him out. As long as I had the house to myself. There's dozens more stories like that.

i think one requirement for something to be considered kindness is for someone somewhere to take advantage of it.  the ability to be taken advantage of is what classifies something as kindness.

Nope
but most people are pretty decent in these parts, and I'm a good judge of character besides

also there's a world of difference between being kind and being a doormat

Yeah sometimes. But I put too much of myself out there since I have trouble with regular social interaction. At least I'm a good host I guess... don't let it get you down OP and definitely never let anyone walk on you even if it's hot pussy.

everything in this universe serves a purpose.  even a doormat.  some doormats are more ok with that than others, but it takes nothing away from their ability to be a doormat.  meaning your comfort level with what you are has no impact on how much you are like that... historically someone that's a doormat is more likely to make a statement like "it's not ok to be a doormat"... meaning they're less ok with what they are than just not being ok with others being that.  like when's the last time you passed over a rug and thought "it's not ok that you're a rug.  it's not ok that people walk on you"... not likely.  i would hope.  i hope this reaches someone that's a doormat and hasn't accepted it yet.  acceptance can transform that which is and always will be.

All the time, man. All the time. Actually my job has really taught me a lot about how to handle stuff like this. It used to happen all the time, but now I know how to handle situations like that much better.

When it happens now, they immediately know they've made a huge mistake :lol:
