very normal. ive learned my lesson with handing out free compassion, loyalty, love, care, friendship etc and i keep getting burned. my love is no longer unconditional, damn right i expect shit in return for things i do. better yet i wont do anyting until someone does it first. i expect loyalty when i have given it, or those that have given it to me have earned it. i expect a shoulder to cry on when i have offered mine, or vice versa. i expect compassion when i need it, when i have offered it or i give back to them as they have given to me. i expect loyalty when i have offered it so freely many times etc etc.
like i dont ask for much. just to be treated the way and with the kindness i have treated others, and i keep getting burned and spat in the face. im not offering this kindness anymore to just anyone. they have to earn it at this point.
idk ive been throughs o much and have been hurt so much, most days i feel dead inside. i feel like my heart is cold as stone. im tired of being betrayed, walked over, treated like shit but then these same selfish people deman i still perform n do for them....sorry for venting. "
but no, i dont think you're wrong. i understand because im at that point now too. ive been let down so many times...i imagine its much the same for you too..
IIN to prioritize my own self interest over everything else?
