My greatest strength is that I care too much for people. Some would look at is as a strength but it comes across as a weakness in the same breathe. I have discovered that once people notice that you are so caring the attribute it to being naïve and therefore take full advantage of that.
During the 20 something years that I have been on this earth, I have had a handful of friends…. Some from church, school, neighbourhood etc and from hanging out with me, it became apparent to them that I’m ‘easy’ if I may put it as such. Easy to manipulate, easy to twist, lie to, a true walkover. Realising this they knew they could take advantage of me, id be the go-to person for everything: money, clothes, sympathy, the works.
Being a caring person has worked against me as opposed to working in my favour. Unfortunately I cannot change my personality just because I have been hurt. Friends come and go and I am sure I will find a true friend some day. Peace JJ
