When you get tired of 'giving'

“The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself.” - Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free. Since young I was taught to treat people how I would like to be treated or respect others like how I would want to be respected, so that I will receive what I give others in return. As I grow older, I learnt that circumstances change people and thus, people become more wary of their surroundings or are more guarded due to negative experiences. Not everybody will have the same heart as you do and give to you what you give to them. The way we perceive things differs too. What could be seen as great help from me may not be recognised by others.

Ditch those toxic relationships/friendships. A friend in need is a friend indeed. If people can't see how true of a friend you are, then it's time to move on to a different group of people. Help others and expect nothing in return. Before helping or giving to others, ask yourself what are you expecting in return? If you’re only giving in hopes that you will get something back in return, it’s time to take a step back and re-evaluate your relationships.

Be your own priority. When you are are your own priority, you take charge of your personal well-being, your own feelings and your life. By putting yourself first and doing things for yourself, you stop relying on others for your own happiness. No one can disappoint you unless you allow them to. If you don't have your own back, who will? When all else fails, seek professional help. I know I know... the irony that I've spent the past few minutes of your time telling you to rely on yourself for your own happiness yet here I am asking you to seek help. Truth is, at times even our friends or close family members will not be able to help us. This is when seeking help from professionals would be helpful.

People change as time passes..after all it's life. People come nd go..but the true ones will always stay by your side no matter through whatever damn things you go through they won't leave you..But some people will show their true colors.. everyone doesn't have the same heart as you..you own yourself before anyone else..Be true to yourself nd love yourself.. everyone else is just curious about you..be with the genuine people..you be the best!

It's so nice that you always upfront for everybody's help but today's time is changing most of the people are selfish and mean. So it's good to move ahead and follow give and take rule. There are few people who resemble of you, so be kind for them, before helping someone try to fix out they will help you in future or not. I always do it as suggested to you, whenever I make friend always ask for help if he helps me then I go further in our friendship else follow the highway.

Sometimes we don’t understand what makes things happen, and can miss knowing what to look for. Being petulant and bitter won’t help you. You would so benefit from working through your feelings, regaining your energy and zest for life, in therapy. It matters to feel in control of what you’re doing, have confidence and be happy, and that is attractive to other people. It’s not quite possible.Be philosophical and know that whether you choose to live alone OR with selfish people who only take all that you have to give and return nothing, there’s a story to be told and you are the hero of that story. Some hero’s end up only giving and not receiving but you have a choice to change the story as you wish any time.

If it's out of free will, then you seem to have lot of expectations. If you have expectations then you wouldn't be happy to give it all. If you are not happy in sharing/giving what you have then it's compulsion. Share or give things only when you're happy doing so. Believe me when you are really happy you don't really expect anything back.

I think you are expecting too much. You can never expect people to be fair with you because you were fair with them. It is like expecting a lion not to eat you, because you didn't eat him. Things work on this earth this way. Current scenario might be awful but believe in the power of time and God. You will find like minded people, with whom you don't need to fit in. Everything will set up perfectly like the missing pieces of a puzzle. Cheers!
