Life may be so harsh sometimes that it has full of challenges. You will meet people who will either use you and abuse your generosity and kindness or remain genuine and trusted.As there can be two other sides, it is very difficult when you experience or meet people who will abuse and use you. Do you meet people who abuse you with your kindness and generosity? How do you handle them? What if those people who use you or abuse you are people whom you are with everyday? For instance, when you are staying in one roof but he/she is not a family member? Say you have no obligation to him/her.

I know there are many people as such who want to take advantages of your kindness. Seriously I try and avoid as much as i can. I wouldn't wanna be anywhere near the,. If I just can't get rid of them, i just tell them to buzz off, like seriously.

Of course, no one wants to be with abusive people. But, what if they are part of the household? Or you stay in one house?

Wow that has never happened to me so I don't know what I'd do. Maybe tell them how i feel and ask them to stop.

I had my experience at these. Its really hurt aching as you were trying to show your good intentions and yet people take advantage of you. Its sad but there are just some people who's nothing but self-centered and dont give a damn about others.

Yes, it can be hurting because you trusted them and it also involves friendships or the avoidance of argument between you and the abuser. You just decide to humble yourself.

I quit letting people do me that way a very long time ago. I just don't have time for all that kind of stuff anymore, don't want to deal w/folks like that to start with. I'm not going to deal w/people who are not nice to me. Don't have to & not going to.

Precisely, no one wants to be abused or treated like that. But there are times that we cannot avoid people to do that especially when you just don't want arguments to out rage.

If you mean people are being kind with an intention to take advantage of you.Then i feel its wrong on their part.First if people lull you into a false sense of security and take advantage of you its deplorable.Its best we be aware of the intentions of these people.

For some that is not apparent not until the abuse becomes visible. I think, there are just some people out there who are self centered and do not care other people's feelings as long as they are being satisfied.

I have not had an issue like this with others living in my home who perhaps I was helping and in turn given me any form of abuse. It would be easy for me to say get out I no longer want to help you. But I wonder what keeps them still there and allowed to abuse the owner. Perhaps the person is lacking in confidence, depression or something similar to allow themselves to get rid of the person. This is difficult to determine the reasoning behind it as I would be prompted to tell them that was it and they would have to leave. Still leaves me wondering if some underlying issue may be the cause for allowing it.

Unfortunately, there are people who abuse another person just to gain control over that person or to feel great about themselves. The sad thing is most of the abusers are abused as when they are a child. If they do not get professional help on this and break this vicious cycle, then more and more people will get abused. Try to avoid contact with the ones that abused you until you are ready to face them. Maybe you can seek professional help on this

Hi Maean - Good day to you! I knew a lot of people like that who tends to abuse or just use other people for their own advantage. I encountered some and it made me realized that most of the time the reason we get abused is because we choose to be silent and we never fight for our right. When other people see that we don't mind being abused they will continue abusing us. In this situation, we become a voluntary participant of the abusive act. When we feel abused we should voice it out. This way other people will know that it's not okay for us. If we do not complain then they might think we don't mind at all and it's fine with us. Some people are afraid of conflict thus, when other people abuse them they just let it be. However, this is not right. Conflict is unavoidable because all of us has individual differences. Conflict is sometimes needed to resolve issues through communication and finally, UNDERSTANDING. However, we can't just always be on the loosing end. We can't just always say "YES" even if we feel it's not right at all. That's why there's a word "NO" in the dictionary. It was meant to be used. If all we should just say "YES" then might as well remove the "NO" word in the dictionary, right? One of the way to be able to feel good about yourself is to have the courage to say "NO" when what's going on is no longer right. Have a nice day always...

This occurs many time in my life. I sometimes feel up set about myself. But I still feel that it's difficult to say NO with a help suggestions from people I don't have obligation with them.
