CircleOfWilis: A thread for stingy people
Nowhere was it stated that you should be stingy. Give as much as you can but with wisdom.
And by the way, why are people only looking at this from the angle of giving material things?
I guess some people need everything spelt out for them word for word.

chai... I experience this Ist hand cry cry just yesterday, my cousin fleeced me of some money just because I couldn't say no. same thing happened mid last month between me and an aunt. My mom has the same problem so I think it boils down to the nature of a person and cannot be changed

I've been called a weakling for being too good. And I hate it.
Only a few people appreciate it.
I only wish I was strict.

People that this topic applies to i.e people that give all the time are typing "op thanks for this."



People that are receiving all the time are typing "rubbish thread", "its better to give" "I used to give but now am ruthless, etc".

In addition, I've noticed that: "NICE PEOPLE ARE BORING"!


I just wish I could start learning my lessons, my "father-Christmas-like" attitude is destroying me. No rest of mind for me at all, I keep getting myself into predicaments that sap all my strength and willpower cry cry cry , once anyone comes with a problem, I just find myself saying yes without thinking twice!!Funny enough, people always think I'm a weakling. angry angry angry

For about 5 years into my current job, I was parting with portions of my salary for friends and family members. Some persons started abusing my generosity by not repaying debts. Even some persons were returning to be assisted again!
Now I don't mind whose ox is gored.
Re: Are You Being Too Good? Setting Healthy Boundaries by Titugirl(f): 9:42pm On Sep 17, 2014

Re: Are You Being Too Good? Setting Healthy Boundaries by texanomaly(f): 12:02am On Sep 18, 2014
Wow... shocked

Story of my life.

@ eleojo23
I'll try to work up enough courage to share.

basille: Once upon a time, i was a polite shy dude who could never say no, was always displeasing himself to please others, but along the line people took me for granted, didn't respect my views and opinions and always tried to use me to get what they want.
That's just how life is, when a commodity is in much circulation, it loses it's worth and becomes common. It's good to be nice though, but to an extent.
Fast forward to the present, i got just one word for you "Individualism".
i can relate entirely to this, care to share how you overcame it?
Re: Are You Being Too Good? Setting Healthy Boundaries by CashNaira96: 4:51pm On Sep 24, 2014

I don't really know what to tell you as myself i'm no expert or teacher.
First of all remember you are free to do anything you want, in as much as it's not illegal. Also, you and only you is accountable for your actions and decision. With those in mind:
1)Learn how to say No
2)Treat people how they treat you
3)Don't be afraid to confront people
4)Learn how to argue and get your points and view across to irrational people
5)Learn to be a little bit selfish (don't displease your self to please people)
hope this helps grin
