Is it normal that when i need help, im always taken advantage of?

it seems like every time i ask for help, i get guilted and manipulated into being used and taken advantage of and its just making things worse every time. im so scared to get help because im so weak that people only see someone they can prey on.

    Become stronger both physically and mentally and rely on no one except yourself.

    unfortunately i relate all too well to this. i guess i'd say it's both normal and not. it's normal to be like that, but it's not healthy at all and you need to learn self-worth. the post is very vague so i can't be sure what you mean by asking for help or who you're asking help from, but i think the most important thing is to learn to value and respect yourself. know your worth and tell people when they're not treating you as well as you deserve to be treated. its definitely not easy and it takes a while but it gets better

    This all depends on from whom you are requesting help. As Ellenna has already pointed out your post is rather vague. To be completely honest I would really appreciate it if you told me who you are asking to help you.

    Some people in this life are just filler people, they're throw away people. So do tell me about your life, and what kinda people you surround yourself with?

    What sort of help are you talking about? I find your post too vague to respond to.

    If it's emotional support you're looking for it seems you're looking for it from the wrong people. Needing help doesn't mean you're weak, by the way, but there are always people around who take advantage of vulnerable people and you need to stay away from them.

  • My whole life pretty much evolves around being used. I’m usually to nice of a person is my problem, but I just don’t like bitches and don’t wanna be one. I eventually got sick of it and dropped many fake people out of my life and don’t regret it still. So normally when I need help I just find ways to do things myself. Not everyones trash people I’m sure there’s someone out there willing to help you for the right reasons. This is why I hate people they're so selfish. I find more happiness being alone I don’t like wasting my time and feeling worse about situations, When they can be avoided. But I guess it can depend what you need help on. I never prey on people I love helping them I see peoples worth always wanna make them happy sometimes my hearts to big. And I avoid a lot because of it I’m happy I am the way I am because of people like your explaining, I don’t wanna be like that. So people who aren’t worth your time and make you feel this way, let them go. You won’t regret it. Is it something you can do on your own?
