Ever had a situation where you could be of some help to someone and you just didn’t feel like being kind?
I dunno…maybe I’m just being moody…but I can help someone, in a small yet meaningful way…and I find myself wondering if they would do the same for me if the shoe were on the other foot. Since I keep arriving at the same negative answer, I have failed to follow through on the tidbit of info that I feel may be of use to them.
I have never, ever, ever had this type of thought cross my mind before. Usually if I can help, I just do it. Without anyone asking me and sometimes, smirk, to my own detriment.
yeah when the someone who could have used the help was an immature twerp who did not want to listen to anyone due to his own bone headedness and would rather wallow in self pity and keep trying the same old failed approaches to deal with his challenge rather than bother to think that others may have a point.
maybe u helped too many ppl out and notice that no one is there for u...thats why u feel like that. Trust me I feel the same. Sometimes I feel like I am too nice and ppl take advantage...:( ..
maybe you have gone out of your way to help self centered users who did not bother to be there for you when you needed them. Once bitten twice shy … why waste your energy on people who only come to you when they need something..
I think with such experiences all of us get a little jilted and a little skeptical and that reflects in our thought process.
Afia, you make complete sense. Maybe that's the principle that I normally follow and that voice that's in my head is just trying to remind me to not stray.
