... i don't think people like to use open minded people... i don't see any connection between those two at all. i think people like to use gullible and naive people as well as people who are too nice but not open minded people.

sanicutie hi yes it might be but on the other hand narrow'minded people are always bitter, and mean hearted and unhappy because they shut people away from them. I would rather be taken advantage of a little bit than to be narrow minded and mean'and 'bitter with life. at least I will have a few friends who love'me and am glad to be around me. narrow minded people do not have many friends.

I'm not sure what you mean by open minded people, but what you talk about sounds like naive people.
there is no use in being close minded, thinking that being open minded is a disadvantage and you'll be used for it.

I don't think being open minded is a disadvantage at all beacause on the contrary it is very much an advantage. I believe open minded people are more interesting to be with, because they are always on the look out for anything new hence they are never dull and are always ready for change. In fact they are more intelligent than closed minded people because their ideas are more broad and without limit unlike close minded people whose minds are limitted by a lot of old fashion standards that doesn't make any sense in this modern world. So I think people will use you more if you're close minded because you're living in your very small world wherein your knowledge is so very much limitted.

I agree with everybody here. Open minded isn't the term you want here. But that isn't truly relevant. I can help you, anyway.
You shouldn't be ready to help at any times. Stop doing that. You should be your first priority. The list should be, assuming you have these relationships, though you may not:
1. YOU
2. Your husband/wife
3. Your children
4. Rest of Family
5. Friends
6. Strangers
If somebody is a friend who always needs your help but is never able to give you theirs, cut them out of your life. They are using you. Unless it is your children and they are still very young, always make sure the other person is giving you something.
You've got to be calculating. You've got to think, "What am I getting out of this relationship?" It may seem selfish but it is really just how you test if a person is good. If a person is a good person, you'll be getting something. Good people want to give AND take.
If you don't, others will suck you dry, both emotionally and financially.
