When Enough, is not Enough.......

Hello my dear MyLotter, as my Discussion title suggests, when can you say that enough is not really enough'? Did you encounter that already in real life situation? It's the common attitude of some people when after you've extended a helping hand they're not contented, still wanted to get more of what you have. Some are abusive and some are simply insensitive that because he/she wanted to ride on you whatever it takes just to be in the limelight. I felt irritated, but still need to control myself.. If it seems he/she really taking advantages on you, what will you say to stop it..

I don't have that many friends which I am fine with but for the ones I do have, there are about 2 people who I can't be bothered trying to help any more for they aren't exactly all that nice to me. They have a history of using me and taking me for granted so if they need help I don't really offer my help. If they ask then yeah but I wont go out of my way to help them. But for my family and my best friends then yes. I would do ANYTHING and everything to help them since they genuinely do care about me and help me whenever I need it.

Now...I treat it as a lesson to me. I help only those who genuinely need help. I am quite open about it. When they try to hard sell themselves, I listen patiently, and at the end of the problem, I simply tell them, I intend to help the orphans since they have nobody to turn to, or destitute elderly. The message goes in their brain loud and clear.

@birjudanak ..It is greedy and cheap on part of people to expect help when they have everything going for them.

I am a person who chooses who to help. When i know that the help will be a series after one help , at the first time i will tell the person that it will be the last if i came to know that the money is used for leisure .

yes i also think that but in a relation like friends and family we can't say anything and sometimes we can't avoid them but i am well prepared now that how to handle in that case so its ok for me.

its very painful that we are trying to help them but they just ignore it so they never satisfied what we do...
