AbuSe or Not

Not me but I know someone being treated like this. But seems like the person does not mind.The person just like being nice to everyone.

well lets just say i have alot of those around me. in fact i stay away from my family due to that. no one ever calls unless they want something. brothers, sisters, mom, dad, stepmom, uncles, aunts, cousins. if they need money, place to go, help with fixing something, tools, moving, anything we are the first ones they call. when we need help tehy dont answer the door or phone. we have decided to do the same thing now cause we are tired of being doormats for them or there slaves. i am not a atm, moving company, or anything like that. they can ask each other but leave me out of it. i have asked for maybe 3 things from them since i have moved back aroudn them in the last 7 years and well once it was help moving, doing pymts on a truck they had for sale, and help with putting a new motor in my truck. well the moving they all vanished. the truck they said cash only and sold it with pymts to another person. the putting in of a motor they couldnt help unless we paid them. lets just say my door is not open anymore.

I have relatives who keep on asking for money loans but doesn't pay back. Some even borrow things like shoes, clothes and bags and do not return them back. What I do is that I don't lend or give out favors anymore to individuals who have taken advantage of me in twice or more incidences. You have to learn to say "no" so that these types of people will stop abusing you.

This is a great discussion that I was just talking to my co-worker about last night. In my personal experience, I find it very hard to tell someone no even if they've done me over in the past. I'm a very giving person and I love to help people but I do know when the tables turn, people aren't very giving to our needs. This goes to everyone, not just my family members!
