Some people really use other people. They just use them for their own benefits. They don't care about the person used. I have been also used by other people. They kept on using me because they want to make friends with me. But when I learned that they use me for their own is I stopped being used by them. I just say no to them whenever they ask something from me. These people really suck.

I think you should keep an eye on the requests of your close person. If these become too arrogant and you'll be getting asked for some things too often, then this person is probably up to using you. Another sign can be seen when you're not able to fulfill the request. If you explain the reason, why can't you provide one or another thing and the person gets mad at you after that, then it's probably about using you too.

Being used is certainly not a good feeling. However as a human being we must see the initial signs and back out right away. Sometimes for the sake of love we choose not see, especially when it is clear as day.

There's no exact way on how to determine that somebody is a user or not. But, we can feel it. Sometimes, we have the idea but it seems hard for us to tell them or confront them about it. We are not sure of those things.
Points that tells me that he/she is user:
1. If he/she there at your side only when he/she needs you.
2. They are the ones who tries to know everything about you without reasons.
3. Having a lot of records of backfighting.
4. He/she was portraying to be somebody and you sense it.
Well, those things are based on my observations only. I hope it would help.

This is a tough one. Iv been used by partners, the only problem is they tell you what they aught to say if they really cared about you. So they are very hard to detect. I think your best bet is not to give too much of yourself, or generosity. Because that's all users are after, so once that dries up they'll be off!

As what I have mostly observed from other situations and experiences. Here are the common actions that needs to be observed to know if he/she is only trying to get something from you:
1. He/She keeps on asking something from you through touch, sweet voices, and so on.
2. He/She gets mad if you cannot provide or give the things he/she wants.
3. He/She will only text, call, or remember you if he/she needs something.
4. If you can't give anymore, he/she will dumped you.
In order to avoid this, know the person first before getting involve into any relationship.
If you are already in a relationship and you want to know if he/she is only using you, try to assume that you can't give the thing he/she wants anymore because you have financial problems or whatever reasons you have. If he/she will stay with through good times and bad times then that person is true and serious but if that person will leave you then he/she is only using you.
You need to remember that, in making a drama like you can't give anymore the things your partner wants to have. It should be realistic so that he/she will not sense that you are just testing her. This is what I always do. So I hope this help.

There's a saying there is no user if there is no willing to be used by. This may be true on relationships where one is being blinded by love. We sometimes fail to see what is the true color of our partner because of too much love. The worst part it, when you realize it's too late as he or she already taken advantage of you.
