I Am Done With One Sided Friendships

This is my greatest weakness. I kept falling for it, being taken advantage of. It was a huge breakthrough for me to realize what was going on and that no amount of "trying harder" was going to get those people to do anything for me.

My eyes are open to it now, and I often catch myself before I fall into an old bad habit. But there are a couple of lady friends who still can get me to jump when they call. It's a little embarrassing. But I have gotten better in asking for and expecting a little reciprocity. Rather than volunteering to be a doormat.

Try to develop a sense of this type of person early on. Watch for cues; and then pass them by. There are enough people around who are not like that.
