Sometimes in life, you meet people who take advantage of you. People like this make unfair choices, creating long-term problems for everyone involved.

The nature of the problem is that we often don’t recognize when we’re being used until after we’ve been harmed. When this happens, we think: “Why didn’t I see it coming? Why was I so stupid?”

This feeling is natural. The problem is that unfair people are manipulative, and they’re good at hiding who they are. Because of this, you can try to be fair all you want–but if someone wants to take advantage of you, they will. And it’s hard for anyone to stop them if they don’t know what’s happening.

The best way to prevent these problems is to get in the habit of noticing how people treat you. This sounds simple, but it can be hard to do because we often form relationships with people who are good at pretending they care about us. They may even fool us into thinking that our relationship isn’t a one-way street. But it is.

No matter how much you give someone, they will always be looking for a little more. And if you don’t recognize the game right away, they’ll take advantage of you in ways that are hard to see but still very real.

To understand why this happens, let’s start with the idea of fairness. No matter how much you give, you can’t expect that someone won’t take more than they need unless they have a good reason. And in some cases, people will think it’s ok to take everything because they believe no one needs it. But this is still unfair because there are always consequences to choices.

Most of the time, unfair people have no idea they are doing anything wrong. They believe it’s ok to take advantage of you because you allow them to do so. And this is what makes the problem complicated because honest people who care about each other don’t need opportunities–if they want something, they ask. When someone wants to take advantage of you, they know what to do. They will create opportunities that seem normal and acceptable.

But the truth is that even the slightest opportunity is a risk–just like opening the door to your house or car creates a risk for burglary. Only honest people don’t think about it this way because their intentions are good. Unfair people see every opportunity as a chance to get something for nothing. And this means they must be prepared to take what they want before someone comes along and stops them.

When you put friendly people together, they aren’t always friendly to each other. Sometimes it’s better to keep friendly acquaintances than friendly friends because if someone doesn’t value your friendship, why should you? It’s so fulfilling to be friends with someone who will stick by you even when times are tough. Just remember that there are friendly people out there for everyone!

Also, realize that everyone has a friendly exterior, but you will see who they are after time. If you think that your friends are taking advantage of you, then remember that it’s not your fault and that you can’t change other people or what they do. You don’t have to feel bad about yourself; focus on being friendly and having friendly friends!

It’s sad when people take advantage of friendly people. Sometimes your friendly nature might encourage them to do so. So be careful who you befriend, especially if they seem friendly from the get-go! You don’t want to end up heartbroken as I did. It took a long time before I could talk to others about this incident, and it was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. If you think that your friends are taking advantage of you, then remember that it’s not your fault and that you can’t change other people or what they do.

How to know when people are taking advantage of you

Do you ever feel like someone is taking advantage of you? If the answer is yes, then it’s possible that your friend or coworker is not being friendly. They may be stealing from you!

Here are some signs that people might take advantage of you:

• They never stop to consider how their actions will affect others.
• They only focus on what they want and don’t care about how it affects anyone else.
• They treat other people as if they’re inferior.
• They try to make themselves look good even when they cause a problem for someone else.
• They can’t see past their wants and desires in any situation. If this sounds like someone you know, it might mean that they are taking advantage of you. When this happens, it can be difficult to confront them. First of all, they might not admit that they’re doing anything wrong. They might even act friendly towards you while continuing to take advantage of your kindness.

Here are some signs that someone is still taking advantage of you after the fact:

– When asked about their behavior or mistakes, they make excuses for themselves or blame other people instead.

– They offer empty apologies without really making any changes.

– Their apology doesn’t match up with what they do afterward.

If you’ve noticed these things happening, there’s a chance that someone is trying to take advantage of you even after your friendly conversation. This person may need your help understanding why what they’re doing is wrong.

Here are some friendly ways to help them see the problem:

• First, let them know how their actions make you feel by using phrases like “I felt hurt when…” or “It upset me when.”
• Ask questions about why they think their behavior is OK. For example, if someone interrupts you often at work, ask them what they’re trying to accomplish with that action.
• If this person doesn’t understand the problem at the moment, take note of it and bring it up again later in a friendly way. You could say something like, “Can we talk about this later?” Don’t forget to offer your support! This person may need guidance but also an encouragement to do better.

By showing friendly concern and offering friendly support, you can help them become a better person. If this person doesn’t change their attitude or behavior, it may be time to end your friendship with them. It’s ok to distance yourself from people who treat you like they’re superior. Your friendly attitude is an important part of your life and happiness, and there’s nothing wrong with protecting that by removing people who don’t value it!

Respect Yourself Stop Letting Others Take Advantage Of You

Do you think people are taking advantage of you?

You may be surprised to learn that most people don’t even think about the possibility. Why would they? They’re too busy thinking about themselves, what’s in it for them, how much money will this cost me, is my time being wasted.

But some people do have an awareness of others’ feelings and needs. If someone is friendly, respectful, or even polite when asking for your help or making requests for your time, these people usually assume that’s just friendly behavior. So friendly!

It can be easy to take advantage of nice friendly, helpful people. But if the person who appears friendly and helpful has ever done something sneaky without telling you (or worse, lied about it), then you know better. They’re not friendly; they’re taking advantage of your friendly, helpful demeanor to get what they want without telling you the truth.

And if somebody is friendly and helpful, but needs more from you than a bit of time or attention, then that person usually thinks that’s just friendly behavior on their part. So friendly! It can be so easy to take advantage of nice friendly people looking for friendships.

But if this friendly person has ever done something sneaky (or worse) when asking for your help or making requests of your time, you know better than to take them at face value. They’re not friendly; they’re taking advantage of your friendly, helpful nature to get what they want without telling you the truth.

It’s no wonder that so many of us have been used or taken for granted by those around us. If we trust others to treat us with respect and not abuse our goodwill, then it makes sense that most of us have been burned more than once in life. Who wants to deal with that? And why would we even think about being friends or becoming close with someone who doesn’t seem to have our best interests at heart from the very beginning? We wouldn’t want friendships with those kinds of people anyway.

Well, what’s the solution? 

What can we do to stop letting friendly people take advantage of our friendship and time? The answer is simple. We can learn how to spot friendly sneaky behavior in people before we become close to them. And then, when they’re friendly and start getting closer, we can see it coming a mile away.

Knowing what to look for ahead of time will help you avoid these types of people altogether if that’s what you want to do. But if you’d instead learn from your experiences with others, so you don’t repeat them, let’s turn up the heat here.

Not everyone knows others yet—time for some friendly people to take advantage of our friendly, helpful nature. Since we know what friendly sneaky behavior looks like, let’s play the game and try to spot friendly people taking advantage of our friendship!

What To Do When You Discover People Are Taking Advantage Of You

You work so hard, and some people think you owe them some favors. When it comes time for them to return the favor, they never do. It can be frustrating when you discover that people are taking advantage of you.

They are just hanging out with you because they know that you’ll repay their friendly gestures by doing favors for them without expecting anything in return. Here’s what you should do if this happens to you:

1)   If someone asks you a favor after you have done one or more such favors for them, they owe them nothing back since you already did your good deed for the day.

2)  If someone makes friendly gestures that they do not favor, then treat them as friendly gestures – just friendly gestures. They have done nothing wrong by being friendly, so do not punish them by ignoring them or getting mad at them because you require more than just friendly gestures to consider the relationship friendly.

3)  Converse with everyone – even those who offend you or frustrate you. Spending time with anyone gives you a better chance to know and understand how they work and think; doing this will help you find ways to deal with people who frustrate and offend you.

4)  Do something nice for yourself once and a while. We all get lazy and need to re-energize; doing something nice for yourself can help you keep the friendly attitude you want towards your friends and acquaintances by treating yourself nicely; it is easier to treat others nicely in turn.

In conclusion,

People will take advantage of you if they want something wrong. If you ignore what people take, they’ll always be able to get more than their share. But when you notice these opportunities, it’s possible to change the game, so everyone gets a fair chance.
