In any circle of friends and environment you are in it can sometimes be difficult to find genuine people. Sincere in the sense of making friends without any purpose or purpose other than because of the compatibility between each.
The reason is, among people who are genuine friends with you, there are some people who may use yourself for their own interests. You don't want to get caught in a circle of people like this. Let's get to know the characteristics when you are being used by others.
Your traits are being taken advantage of by others
The following are various features or signs that indicate that you are being used by others.
1. Start a conversation only when you need something
Take a look, how often have you been given the opportunity to talk or invited to have casual chats by work colleagues or playmates? If the answer is almost never or rarely, then you need to start to be vigilant.
If you notice that your friend only contacts you or talks to you only when he or she needs help is a sign that you are not valued as a friend. It could even be, you are being used.
2. Your existence is never considered
Is your name always included in the plans made by your peers? Is your opinion always being heard? If not, maybe they don't really care about your existence.
But in everyday life you are always the most troublesome person and are given a big responsibility when the others are just relaxing.
If you feel that your peers are just being nice because they need your energy or ideas, rethink staying silent without acting out.
3. Not prioritizing yourself
Quoted from the Huffington Post, people who are often used are people who always want to make other people happy without thinking about themselves. Now think about it, are you one of those people?
For example, suppose you are willing to pick up a friend on a hot afternoon even though you are resting yourself and your friend only calls when he or she needs help.
If so, this is a sign that you are in an unhealthy relationship. The reason is, you are willing to prioritize other people who you even realize that they only contact if they are having trouble.
