RE: The Curse of Obligation

in #dropintheocean6 years ago

I have always been that person, still struggle to say no, even if sometimes I felt used I never did help expecting anything in return though it is frustrating to see how people get more than what they should. Just recently started to say no, small things, though most of the time I still jump in and do.

Sort:  

I know what you mean, I never expected anything in return... except in times of need but I learned my lesson quickly to not expect even then. I guess it is our burden to live with. I've learned to say no, but still with certain people it's extremely hard. Thanks for reading @yidneth ... it's been amazing to see that in most things I am not alone.

Yes, I wish it were as easy to say no as some people can shamelessly ask... it's in our nature I guess... I'm still learning... and most times I know I'll find myself not strong enough to do it :) I guess. But it's a fact that people tend to take advantage of generosity... :/ I would not like to lose my naiveness but maybe I'm reaching that point where I am aware it's a must. I must not carry always the extra weight of others and drown but help others to reach shore.
