Is there such a thing as being too nice? Yes there is and I'm a victim of it.
My kindness is often taken for granted simply because I have a big heart and tell everyone yes most of the time that they get spoiled. Just like when you tell a kid yes all the time then tell them no that one time and they get mad, that's how most of the people I know react when I say no.
So, how do I fix this problem? The way I see it, I have two choices...I can either stop saying yes all the time and being so available when they ask me a question or need something from me, or I can just be a bitch and flat out say no. If you were me, which would you chose?
I'm just tired of being Super Woman to everyone else other than myself. It's time I take some time for myself and do me and not worry about the wants and needs of everyone else because when I need them, guess what? They don't hesitate to tell me no and I bet they don't feel bad about it either. So why do I let it bother me so much when I know I let someone down or hurt their feelings? Probably because I have such a big heart, but that's all about to change.
I'm fed up with everyone calling on me for every damn thing before they call upon someone else. I'm also fed up with people being lazy and not looking for something, but instead calling me to send it to them because they know I have it and know more than likely I'll send it and not say no. Just like you can wear welcome out, you can wear a friendship out by taking someone's kindness for granted. Especially mine.
The madness stops today.
