I'm getting sick and tired of people who take advantage of my passiveness. If you think this post is directed specifically at you, then you're wrong. There are a number of people who do it.
If it's something as simple as me paying for something that people never pay me back for, to something like people who take my feelings for granted.
I'm not a person who it is easy to win the trust of. So if you have it, and that matters to you, then you are a part of a small crowd...
just because I seem to be passive in many ways, very few of you know specifically how I feel about certain situations. And even less of you know what gets me to feel certain ways. I can only think of one person who fills the latter criteria.
So my plea is this, people. Dont take me for granted. Because I know if all of you went through what I do a lot of the time, you would feel the same way.. so why do it?
Of course, I know it's possible that it is actually all my fault. *I* should be the one bugging other people to pay me back. *I* should be the one who doesn't put myself in a position to be hurt.
But as far as that last bit goes, if you know me, you know that I believe that any friendship (like any relationship) has a certain level of risk.
I guess my passiveness just raises that risk to a level that is unacceptable to me. So in the end, I guess it really is my fault....
