Why do people take advantage of good and kind people?
Because they lack a spine. The kind of people who can’t raise voice against anything wrong happening.You constantly feel that you’re being taken for a ride by your boss, friends, girlfriend/boyfriend, and basically most of the people in your life. Is it their fault or yours? The answer is—yours. There are some reasons why people take you for granted.You are non-confrontational. You hate conflict. They know you will never address an issue even if it bothers you.You cannot refuse people. You just cannot say no. It kills you to decline requests. They know they can keep asking you for undue favours and you will always oblige.You’re usually the one with no opinion. If you’re always ‘okay’ with any plan, if you rarely voice your wishes or dislikes, it is understandable why people take you for granted.You are always seeking approval for your actions. You send out a message that you cannot function without people’s opinions and that’s exactly when people start to feel that they can control you.You’re indecisive. You can never make up your mind about anything. And the moment you show the world you don’t know what you want, they start taking you for a ride.You’re never the one to raise his voice against things you don’t approve of. People know you’re too shy (read scared) to stand up even for yourself and that gives them the liberty to wrong you every time. If you don’t raise your voice against being taken for granted once, it will happen again. Always.You give people too much importance too soon. You go out of your way to help them when they don’t even need it; you give away exclusivity at the drop of a hat.You’re always trying to please people and truth be told, nobody respects a people pleaser. Even when someone does take you for granted, you let it pass instead of putting your foot down and talking about it because you always want to be in everybody’s good books. Stop fearing disapproval.You have low self-confidence. It looks like you’re keeping shut about it because you’re not sure about it.You’re too easy a person. While it is a great trait to be adjusting, you make yourself look like a doormat. Know how to be adjusting and yet firm.Give importance to yourself. Appreciate your existence. Appreciate your identity. If you don’t give importance to yourself, how can you expect others to do so? And the most important thing here is—Learn to say ‘No’.
Another word for someone who takes advantage of other people?
If they do it unknowingly: Narcissist, unconscious behaving If they do it knowingly: self-centered, self-gratifying You hve to remember that most of us are NOT doing this consciously. Which means, doing it with awareness SO, give ppl the benefit of the doubt and know it may be coming from another part of their unconsciousness. Hope this helps!
Why do people think they can take advantage of virgos?
It seems to me that virgos are the most people in the zodiac taken advantage of. I'm not a virgo but I am kinda close to it. I have virgo rising. My friend Sam who is a virgo was a really good military school girl a few years back but she said people started taking advantage of her niceness so she changed her ways. The next year she went gangster and everyone was afraid of her. The next year she went back to normal but was paranoid that people might do the same to her. Looking back I can understand exactly what she was talking about. I am a libra with virgo rising and I am one of then nicest/shyest people you could ever meet! I dispise drama and try to avoid it at all cost but it seems that me being nice has never gotten me anywhere. People take advantage of me and the way I am and think that I am a mice or silly putty in their hands. Well I'm not. I have alot of scorpio in my chart. Mars and Venus in scorpio and I have really bad anger when people start trouble with me. So I don't get why virgos are taken advantage of so much??
Why are people so nasty to me?
Don't try too hard to be nice to EVERYONE some people will take advantage of you for that and just walk all over you. Who are they to judge you like that? don't let them define you or your values only you can do that.stop caring about what they think! You haven't done anything wrong and you are aware of your actions so why should their vague assumptions matter? Always remember that these people are so insecure and have no life so they feel the urge of putting others down to lift themselves up. stay away from them and if anyone comes up to you and starts some bull be like "piss off! go carry on with your lifeless lives" or ignore them. Don't ever show them that your hurt they will feel like they have control over your emotions and keep doing it.Don't let them get to you and keep your chin up. Best of luck :)
