How would you treat a person who takes advantage of you ?

Hi dinohe, I am very careful and choosy when it comes to friends..I don't trust easily and don't hang out with people whom I have no common hobbies or interest....I have tried once by a very very long friend and it was a great lesson after all these years! When that happen, I confronted her and express myself then delete her in my list of friends..I stopped talking to her and never accept her back as my friend.

Well to be honest this actually happened to me a while back,with one of my friends,he was always lying to me and everyone else,and he was always borrowing money from me,with no intention of ever paying me back,so I stopped talking to him,and stopped having any association with him whatsoever and he ended up changing for the better,so me and him are once again friends.

My dad use to tell me that he can be friend with anybody and that all he needs to do is to understand you... know your weakness and good point so as to have a good relationship with you. So on friends that take advantage of one all i need to do is put him at arm-length and avoid his knowing me more than he already did. In other word after i identify the kind of friend he his...i'll start avoiding him.
