I have been back stabbed multiple times by people I put my most trust in and I'm at a loss. It's like I'm not even myself anymore, like I'm dead on the inside.
People take advantage of me all the time and manipulate me and I would like some advice if you are able and willing to give it thank you.
Thank you for contacting Positive Personal Growth. You can never please all of the people all of the time. It's OK to be strong say no to people when they suggest something that you don't particularly want to do. Saying no will help you to become a stronger person. Be honest, and say you don't want to do something when you don't. Don't fully trust people until you have known them for some time.
You have a good heart, and don't want to hurt people, but in always being there when people ask, you put yourself at risk of being hurt and feeling used. It's not easy to say no, but when you have said it a few times you should find that people will not be able to take advantage of you.
Live your life in the way that's right for you, not trying to please everyone who asks a favor of you. When you are true to yourself you will feel better inside. People are taking advantage of you because you never say no. Start saying no - today!
