Lately, I’ve noticed a pattern in my life: I’m often the one making sacrifices—whether it’s my time, money, or mental health. I’ve realized that when you go out of your way to treat people especially well, they can start to take it for granted. They get comfortable with being spoiled and having you at their beck and call. They may even begin to feel entitled to your time and energy, invading your personal space without a second thought.
The real problem comes when you finally try to push back or set boundaries. By that point, they’re so accustomed to the privileges they’ve had that they might react negatively, making you feel guilty or even making you look unreasonable. It’s as if they’ve become spoiled by your generosity.
Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect and boundaries. Don’t let people use your kindness as a weakness. Value yourself, and don’t be afraid to stand up for your needs.
just felt this needed to be shared.
