Suddenly I realize letting people to take advantage of me is not really that bad

Let me clarify first, I don’t mean letting people to steal my money, or bully me. Pardon my English. It is a relief to realize that I don’t always need to take from people. Sometimes I do need to give to them. Furthermore, it is stressful to always compete for the best, to become the first, etc.

What do you think? I guess some of you already know that life is about give and take. I am too late to realize this.

Yes, life involves give and take, and it’s never too late to understand that. However, the give and take should be mutually beneficial,

Yes, you are the first person to notice that I removed my avatar (at least the first person who has mentioned it to me).

I just wanted to change things up.

yeah, i like it when i don’t need to interact much. almost every conversation is like a give-take because of my biology methinketh. I don’t mind give-take, but it’s more complex sometimes because I don’t know if they want what i’m giving or if I should take what they’re giving: either spit or love.

it sucks to give-take with people i don’t understand, but for some reason i keep doing it. i’m probably weak.

Life is an odd kind of dance, sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow.
I’ve always tried to be the one that gives more than takes, especially as an adult to my parents, I always visited frequently-still do, and try to always bring something for them. They gave a lot to raise me, it’s time I gave back.

@Zoom, it’s never to late to apply what you learn, never. Good for you for realizing this now.
