Taken for Granted

Tweet

Have you ever felt being taken for granted or being stepped on? Like when you thought it was just paranoia, or a misunderstanding, but then the act has been repeated several times? I have. And it sucks. One thing though that I am guilty of is spoil a person. Be it a friend or a lover. That's my mistake. That I (kind of) allow the person to (somehow) *coughs* step on me (not literally! LOL!) thinking that the person still has goodness. I am a firm believer that everyone has goodness in them, and that makes me give a person a second, third, fourth, fifth chance. More than fifth even. That the "bad" thing that they do will be eliminated when you do good to them instead of retaliate. I usually adjust to suit their standard. I sometimes stretch my limits when the person really matters to me. But we humans have our limits. When I reach it, and finally confront the person, the person usually says, "this is me, why are you trying to change me?" So, I just keep going on and forgive yet I slowly detach. And once I am through, I am so through that I don't even think that person exists. Well, maybe I would still be able to recall that person, but I wouldn't even go back to the same person. Perhaps I'd be civil with the person when we see each other on any given occasion, but I wouldn't go back to the way things were. Being treated like a rag.
