I love helping people. It makes me feel good about myself. When people ask me for help, I would always do my best not to disappoint them. However, despite that, I also hate being taken advantage of. Yeah, of course I have some trust issues. I need to protect my own feelings from disappointment due to my own ignorant and carelessness.
Surprisingly, this is the ONLY meme i googled that fits this entry
When people ask me to lend them money, I would just let them know that I barely have enough for myself. Not kidding. When people ask me to drive them somewhere, I would tell them I am a cowardly driver who uses Waze to work my way around even after driving the same roads for weeks. If you know me, you would know this is true. When people ask me to teach them something, I would study like crazy and try as much as I can to share the knowledge. When people ask me for a copy of my assignments, I'll be glad to give them, but of course I would secure them like crazy first.
It's not that I want to put 'terms and conditions' on everything I do for people, I just don't want to end up hating myself when people take advantage of my attempt of kindness. It's better to be safe then sorry, right? I just hope people understand why i do the things I do. I try to be kind. But at the same time, I don't want to be fooled.
So I hope people don't stop asking me for help because I would do what I can to do it.
