Don’t expect the same kindness that you give to be reciprocated.

Don’t expect that because you think of others that they will think about you.

Don’t expect the people you help to help you when you ask for it.

You are kind to your friends because you care for them, not because you expect them to return the favor.

You are accommodating because you care and have a motherly nature that makes you want to take care of other people.

Not everyone will reciprocate that same kindness and courtesy.

Relationships of any kind are difficult to maneuver sometimes because no two people think or use words the same way as you do.

You can’t control other people’s actions – only yours.

You’ve been hurt a lot in the past, so it’s easy to become upset, but don’t let that take over you. Try to let it go. Don’t try to change the way people think, it’ll only cause yourself anguish. Let them be. It just shows that they are not compatible with you.

It’s understandable for you to feel hurt when you’ve been helping someone else out of the kindness of your heart, and they can’t or won’t return the same kindness. It’s easy to feel jaded and used by people like that.

Don’t let people like that use you. Don’t let them take advantage of your kindness. Don’t listen to their excuses. They know what they’re doing, despite how innocent they may seem. They know what that their requests are illogical and they feed on the people that say yes to them.
