I Am a Giving Person

Always Giving But Never Receiving...

By: Scorpio1987
Written on January 20th, 2012
The thing is I try not to paint everybody with the same brush. I'll always put myself out to help if someone needs help. The fact that other people are selfish should not cause me to stop being kind or courteous to a stranger. I dont know, maybe this is a naieve way of thinking. I would like to believe in the goodness of people but it seems people always seem to let me down. What can one do? ~sigh~

    People take kindness for granted I experienced that MANY times here and quite frankly I'm sick of it. Now I'm being more selective of who I distribute my kindness to, for I realize everyone doesn't deserve it especially those who bash and abolish it as if it means nothing when it's unconditional.

    I feel exactly the same. It is hard not to become disillusioned with life. Selfish and self absorbed people seem to get further ahead and are more popular it seems. It doesn't make sense.

      You're right it doesn't make sense. Sometimes I just get tired of this world.

    I were 100% like you but now i had to change, I had mo make an effort for change with the man that i have beside me if not i felt very abused.

    Before I met him i didnt know what "taking advantage", "not help", "dont love with the full heart" and some others. Now I learned and Im afraid of stay like this for the rest of my life. I want to give 100% for a new partner (when i fin him).



    P.d Sorry, english isnt my 1st languaje

      Hey marirosi. You don't have to live like that. Sometimes it IS better to be alone. What's the point of being with someone whom you do not love or does not love you. Do not accept a situation that you can change.

    I completely understand. I was just having a similar conversation with a friend last week, and he advised me not to change who I was because of a couple jerks, continue being who you are, irregardless of how others behave. The right person will be along that will give you just as much, if not more. Keep your head up :-)

      Oh how I wish I would find someone like that. i dont believe anyone should settle for less as you'll always feel cheated. So I'm hanging in there. I still consider this to be early days so time is on my side. Your words are very much appreciated. You are a beautiful person. Take care :-)
