I have learned in the past few months about being better at recognizing toxic relationships. I enjoy giving, and helping people, but then there comes a point where I realized that I was wasting my time with people who didn't want to help themselves or get better. I don't regret not one thing, because at the end of the day, all I wanted was to be a help to them. Not get praise or a pat on the back. But it was like the more I put out, (time, energy, etc) the more they took. I get to charge it to the game, but I won't deny that it hurt to have to cut ties with those people who just "take, take and take". Especially when I use to be close with these individuals and now we're basically strangers. "How did we get here?" Is what I tend to ask at times.

*sigh* Late nights causes too much deep thinking.

my experience is that I like to help people,
I like to show that I am able to help people.
but people are funny

essentially, we're all selfish;
we have to be, because that's the only reason we're alive
and it seems that sometimes people project this idea of 'what's in it for me' onto the person who genuinely is trying to help
I tried to help this girl.
she might think I'm just trying to get into her bed
but that isn't my actual goal
i try to help, and people are too skeptical that anyone is like that.

Welp, you've tried to help, now it's hands off from there. She doesn't want to be helped. At least you tried right? And you're right. People are funny. Complete jokers.
