I’ve sometimes wondered about this too. Even in my own relatives, this is very common. Everytime I say to myself that I will not help them again or something, the incident of Abu Bakr (when he wanted to stop helping one of his relative because of something) keeps coming to my mind when Muahmmad (S.A.W) told Abu Bakr that no matter how your relatives are, you should not break your ties and still help them when they are in need. After that, Abu Bakr would not stop helping that relative of his and would give him money whenever he needed it.

Call it my weakness or whatever, but sometimes I can’t ignore when others are in need

PS - This also does not mean that I let them take advantage of me. If the need is urgent and if I can help, I try to do it. But if it’s something useless, then I don’t.

purrrrfect answer HHL!

and following the sunnah of the sahabah isn’t a weakness, its a strength! no nieki goes to waste; if your intention is to please Allah SWT for the sake of keeping up your ties then Inshallah you will be awarded accordingly. But like you said, being nice to others doesn’t mean that we let others trample all over us!
