I guess if you do what people tell you all the time when they could easily/should be doing it themselves, then I consider that taking advantage of a vulnerable person................... Obviously not if it's somethhing like "hey, pass me the ketchup." or something mundane like that, but like....... Uh.... Yeah, if they just take advantage of your good will then that's what I'd call it.

To be vulnerable is to need other people in your life to fill a void you feel is already there.

To be friendly is to not need other people - but prefer to have them in your life anyway.

And it all stems from your own sense of self worth and confidence in your ability to offer friendship as well as receive it.

Some people assume any type of kindness or being nice is a sign of weakness. Be nice to them, and after they are a dick to you, slam the door in their face every chance you get

@xixgun I dont like saying No to people but I find at times I"ll have too at some stage .
I be thinking , there thinking that I'm being nice to them cause there thinking I'm hidden something , which I'm not and that they think they can see through that and I'm getting resentments then , figure that one out 😂😂😂.

@riseofthemachine Some people expect that because you're nice they can shit on your head and you won't say anything. You have to show them they are wrong in no uncertain terms. If they are allowed to do it once, they will continue to do so.

being friendly is freely giving affection. being vulnerable is having that affection forcibly taken
