At what age did you realize you were merely a tool for someone else to get off?

@bijouxbroussard ive never seen me as being important enough to consider. not that I think everyone is better than me, but I wanted to make sure they knew they mattered, that they counted for something also. petty hook ups dont make much sense to me. imagine if they knew all they were to that person was a pitty case.

@ImplodingVoices The thing is, you matter, too. It wasn’t that I thought I was some kind of princess, but my mother used to tell me, don’t waste time on someone who isn’t right for you, just to have a guy. I saw it happen among my friends, guys using them, and then guilting them into sticking around. Now some girls do choose badly, and I won’t deny that fact. But I found that the accusation "you women don’t like nice guys" rarely comes from guys who are actually [b]nice[/b].

@ImplodingVoices Not sure who or how many people left you feeling this way, but you are definitely worth more. Plenty of people in this world will attempt to use you for something. My best advice is to show things down when trying to form relationships. The people who want just that one thing will lack in patience and it will give you time to see how they treat you over a longer duration. It's a lot of work for people to be fake, and they generally show cracks pretty early if watching for them.

You are worth more.
