Now, I know what you're probably thinking... "That's a little conceided... and not exactly a positive thing", and you know what, you're right.
This thought started a couple days ago in conversation with a friend... jokingly I had made that comment in the middle of taking about something going on... and after I said it, my friend got a little quiet...and it kinda hit me. Not saying that it's the case with everyone, but for the majority it is... check this out:
People usually don't like me or think I'm bad until they get to know me.
Once people know me, they usually like me
They will start to take advantage of my generosity
They see the potential in me to help them "better themselves"
Some will continue to take and take, without so much as a thanks
After so long, they end up trying to screw me over to step over me
Stepping over me screws them over
Too much of me and people start to get too far in before they realize it's too late
Without taking anything, they feel I'm consuming their life, yet they are the ones coming to me
Before they know it, they're hating me for they're greed
People just can't get enough of me...once you try me, you're hooked.
I'm non-threatening, overly nice, make you feel good kinda attitude, and it's actually genuine...
I would never cause ill-will, pain, or suffering....intentionally, but it still will always seem to happen
No matter how hard I try to help, it's never enough for them
I never get physically hurt, but for some odd reason, the people around me do.... (And I would go out of my way to prevent anything like that, but it happens)
I make the world seem ok
I make people feel safe and comforted
It's an almost "false hope" caused by one person with a loving, caring, empathetic heart who just wants to help people
Then they get mad because others start wanting my time
I would do anything for someone I care about, and almost anything for anyone to help
People who I like, hang out and they don't feel they have to give me anything
People who think I don't like them feel they need to buy my time
To get back in with me, they give me gifts.... and all they had to do was call, or even a simple, "I'm sorry about that man".... really...
I don't hold grudges, but people hold them against me
I end up causing more harm than good, just by knowing me
Other people will not like you because of me... and it's nothing either of us are doing...
I don't know why, but jealously runs rampant.... and I don't even know what's to be jealous about...These are just some things that crossed my mind the other day.... there are more, but I just can't think of them. Now, if you know me, you've probably been trying to evaluate if any of those things are like you, or have happened around us.... Honestly, I never think about it, I give anyone the benefit of the doubt... and I just have a nature to want to help. Just don't abuse my friendship. Trust me. A relationship is a two-way street, and I'll drive 99% of the way, but when or if I question it's becoming one-sided... I'll tend to pull back a little, just to see if you are taking advantage of me, or you're really just there and my friend... Well, enough about that... I got a job to do.
