Setting boundaries doesn't mean to completely cut someone or something off, but a necessary measure required to maintain friendship and, of course, our sanity. I've experienced many cases where it seems people take each other for granted, thus losing regard for the effort you keep just to maintain the relationship. This goes on and on, and you keep overlooking because you have one thing in mind that we are all imperfect and would always make mistakes.
But what if someone who helped you out with something robs it on you at the slightest opportunity they get (and it's not like they completely helped out for free). They would always remind you of how they did one thing or the other for you, forgetting that life has a way of sorting itself out.
I always tell people these: "If I don't get something done through you, then I will get it through a different means"
People like to make the simple things of life look difficult. If you simply don't help someone, another person will. The only difference is that it would be at a different point in time, but it will eventually happen.
The worst of it all is when someone tags you as ungrateful out of the blue. It seems a lot of people don't really understand the meaning of a word before they use it on others. Words they obviously won't tolerate are what they use on others, just because they feel they have certain power or authority over others.
The fact remains that no matter what you do for someone who already ruled you as ungrateful in their heart, it would never be appreciated because whatever you do would never be enough. Such a person will always see you as a rival, a competitor, and would always question your motive because of their own mind set yet trying to make you find fault where there is none.
I've come to the conclusion that there is no point going extra for such people or sacrificing time and important events just to be there for such people because they will never see or value the extra mile you go just to support them.
With time, they would come to understand the true meaning of the word "ungrateful"
I will appreciate your views on this. Have you ever dealt with someone entitled before? How did you handle such a person to maintain your friendship?
Thanks for stopping by my post. See you on my next article. Love from
