Ever feel used by someone?
You can’t call them on it. They’re going to say no regardless.
You can tell though. Little things they do or don’t do. May be used for physical items or things. May simply be used to stroke their ego.
You start to feel like a second class person. It’s not hidden that everyone is put above you. It’s simply not talked about.
You’re not talked about. You’re not let in. You serve only this one purpose. There’s this force field. You’re barely more than a stranger to them. Such indifference.
You start to feel like just another lemming. So easily cast aside until they want something from you again. Realizing that you’re not even worth getting to know, to discover, to get excited about.
You give, they take until you have nothing left to benefit them or they find another, better source.
The point of this rant? I’m one who is used. When I refuse, it turns into an attack on me as a person. It’s a lose-lose situation. I need to escape this cycle. For just one person to not want to take and take.
