Why Do People Take Advantage Of Nice People? by Nobody: 12:25pm On Sep 29, 2020
i am the type of person that goes the extra-mile just to make people happy.I go out of my way to get things done for others.imagine doing something that ain't my job or my responsibility but because i was trying to help,you start seeing it as something normal and even demand i do these things for you.But when i refuse such demand,you start seeing me as a bad person.like seriously!people's sense of entitlement is out of this world.

I am a nice person and rude when you take me for granted..
because of that, people see me as green snake in a green snake .

If I mention my experiences so far, my kind and harmless gestures have put me in more harm than good..

Which one will I even mention, Is it the people I housed that turned against me?
Or the person I lent money that blocked me?
Or one guy who sidelined and even spoiled my name after I gave him my clients?

Abegi, if you want do good just go ahead.. Just apply sense while at it.

I think you meant those you go the extra mile for and not those you take for granted but I understand and yes exactly if the shoes were flipped and I was the one that needed their help its one story or the other that ill start hearing, these days I only show such kindness to people who reciprocate

if there's one of the few things I've gleaned from my relationships with people, its that we cannot always be on the right side of history -from their perspective , at the very time one refused to do their bidding or refuse a request , and then all of a sudden a proud tag is attached to you.
set limits , set boundaries as to what you can tolerate.
and if they can't seem to accept this boundary, leave them be. whenever they're done being angry,they'll stop being angry.

No crime to be a good boy, no should we pick who we can be good to. in all generalities , one should try to be good to all. And if someone starts to take advantage of your good nature, withdraw it. whatever their reaction may be, withdraw it. It shows that you know what you are doing by being indulging and that they should not think that they are wiser or smarter.
If they badmouth, it does and doesn't matter cause while one might be pained at how your refusal made such words out of their mouth, the fact that not all of those whom listens to their stories will go with them. so no wahala.

People should learn to take no for an answer and stop feeling entitled

People take advantage of people (not necessarily nice people). You don't have to be nice to be cheated or disrespected.

Sometimes, I mean sometimes, I don't start what I can't finish to prevent unnecessary disagreement. For example, there is this woman beside my shop, she's an older woman. When she packed into the shop, whenever she approaches the shop in the morning, I'll run towards her and collect her bag. This went on for a while until one day. Rain was drizzling lightly and she was coming. Because of this rain, I didn't go to collect her bag. I greeted her but if you see the way she responded and the look of disdain in her eyes, I felt bad. Since then, I evaluate whatever I want to do very well to prevent wahala.
My advice, stop being a people pleaser. Do whatever is convenient for you

I also have neighbor, I help to pack her cloth everyday when she is not home

My shop is close to our house.

On Tuesday it was raining I was busy in the shop so I can't help her to pack her cloth.
When she come back home she was like I did not allow my daughter to help her to pack her cloth. I was very annoyed because I have always help her without her asking me to.
I just kept quiet, she told my daughter the following day that she will be taking her cloth to her shop to dry.

That is the Proof of how man is Wicked and when the Bible tells them that they are, they do not believe it, yet, they think that they qualified to enter the kingdom of God.

We'll, keep doing that which is good for as the Lord has Said "the rain falls on both the good and the evil".

And as you do unto others, so shall it be done unto you.

Apply wisdom in doing good...but don't ever allow anyone turn you into a monster by how they treat you for being good. Just know that the most important person...GOD...sees your heart and will reward you accordingly.
