Taken advantage of  |
| |
| Hello fellow Mylotters. I have a situation on my hands that has just come to my attention only a few hours ago. I am still FUMING mad about this. Without going into too much detail, because I do not believe in spreading others business around publicly here goes. There is someone I opted to help for a little bit. Well, it turns out they are spreading rumors about me that are not so favorable. Of course if they were nice ones I guess I wouldn't be so hopping mad right now would I? I have also found out they are taking advantage of me and perhaps have even stolen from me. Here, I'm trying to help out, I'm trying to be nice and feel what situation they are in. I've been in similar circumstance, but I have NEVER done this to anyone. Have you ever been in a situation with someone similar to this? If so, how did you handle it? Happy Mylotting! | | | | | |

| | Well my grandaunt use to blame me of things I never did. All I do is to simply ignore her for there's no point arguing with an old woman. Instead, I help her with household chores so that she won't have to harbor any feelings of irritation at me. | | | | | | |

| | i envy your patience with your grandaunt. you're right. arguing will get you nowhere if she has fixed ideas about you alreday. at least when she dies, you know in your heart you were an obedient and helpful nephew. i try to do my share in the house too. but when i'm tired and i feel bad because others are not doing anything, i don't do it. | | | |

| | You truly have sainthood qualities. That is a very good thing to do. I envy your gift of love, in a good way I do. In a way I would like to be more like that, but then people take advantage. | | | |

| | the irony of life is that those who take the initiative and get involved tend to get blamed and criticized. when you help and don't get thanked, you manage to shrug it off. when you help and get talked about badly, it hurts then you move on. but when you help and find out you're being stolen from, that's a different story! | | | | | | |

| | This whole thing is just a mess for me. Thank you for responding. I don't know that I am hurt, at least it does not feel that way. It is just an anger right now because it simply is not true, never has been true and never will be. I have a false shame about the lies they tell. | | | |

| | Hii... I have been helpful to people when I was capable of... And I have experienced what you're going through. Although I didn't know about it, then... Now, I get to hear about those things that were said behind my back by those whom I had been helping... Had I known it that time, it is hard to say what it would led to.. Because I dislike such things and had power to do anything in those days... fortunately for them, I knew about it pretty late... I know what you're feeling at present.. As your friend, I would suggest you to stop helping them, confront them with their misdeeds (if it is not going to affect you) and simply forget about it..Oh yeah, and tell them to repay your help, asap... That's how they should be treated... I am sorry, if I sound extremist LOL... But Miss, I am human not a saint... :) Have a good time... Hope to hear something better when I log in next time.. Good day! | | | | | | |

| | This is unfortunate that they can't repay now. More unfortunate is that that they dare to talk about you behind your back, while they have relied on your help and received it too.. .Awful! Not unheard of! I have been through it... I suggest you stop helping them, immediately and ask them about their talk... Thank you for your blessings Miss... What is your action plan, now? | | | |

| | I will wait a day or so to confront them on the lies they are telling. I have to pretend that I heard it from different sources instead of where it originated so it will take some days. As far as the other lie, there is no way to know what I do without the help of the person who told me, then they would know where it came from. I promised I would not tell, as that person is not being malicious but trying to help. The stealing, I have no proof except it was here and now it is not. Another housemate witnessed it here and gone, but what can I do about it? It is not valuable, and something if they had asked I would have given. Thank you! | | | |

| | I can understand about confronting... But I didn't know about the 'other lie' and 'stealing' too. Gosh, what kind of world this is! People say things behind the back of benefactor and also steal their things... Awful! God'll never forgive them... They have got something that is not valuable to you, today... But think of this, they can something that is very dear to you... My friend, please do something immediately. At least, don't allow them to your house anymore... Hope to hear a better news next time :). | | | |

| | Yes, I have been in this situation before and probably will be again. It hurts, and likely you are shocked, very hurt, and in disbelief this person could do such a thing. I would definitely confront this person in some way where you can talk privately. Also, take comfort in knowing that those who twist your help around will some day go through the same fate. About a year ago, I helped out two sets of people financially. The first was my sister who needed cash to pay off some bills as she was having a hard time working due to a medical condition. The second was the mother of a friend who needed transportation. I put two and two together and purchased my sister's car she was selling and handed it over to my friend's mother. We made the agreement on a payment plan, which resulted in a large screen colored TV. I never expected my sister to pay me back, because why twice the payment? And why when she helped me herself so many times before? However, I really needed the TV because my younger sister was buying it from me for the same price as the car and I needed the money badly as I became jobless. For weeks and months my friend's mother came up with excuses as to why she couldn't give me the TV. I expanded the months to give more time, but eventually she agreed on a date and I went to pick it up. And would you believe she was angry about it? She was very angry and said some things to me that I won't repeat on here. I found out later she was on medication that made her react that way because the next day she was rather embarrassed about her behavior. I have forgiven her, but have not forgotten about it. And yet, it wasn't long after this, she gave her cash to someone she trusted to go down and pay her bill. Instead, this person used her cash to purchase food for themselves, and at the time did not pay her back the money they took. To this day I still don't know if they ever did, but I believe it was a hard earned lesson for her. Also, I believe people spread rumors to make it seem as if they are stronger and don't really need help, when in fact they are only fooling themselves. But you know the truth, right? You know the rumors are not true and there will come a time people will see that truth as well. Just because she/he closed the door on you, doesn't mean you can't open a window. | | | | | | |

| | Fire, sometimes people do get angry when they have to repay you. Why this is, I do not know. But it is something they do. And besides the poor dear was on medications and she did apologize for her behavior. If she apologized for it, then truly she was sorry. People who tend to carry on about something and do not apologize for their behavior are not sorry and will attempt some harm. Then, you know her better than I do, she is your friend not mine. I am sorry you have had to endure this, and I hope that God blesses you immensely for your kindness and you do not give up helping others, but are the more wiser for it. I hope you are employed now? | | | |

| | I've had things stolen from me, never been able to prove it or get the things back. As far as rumors going around about me, not that I know of. My real friends wouldn't believe them anyway, and I don't much care about anybody else. | | | | | | |

| | I'm sorry to hear you are in this situation, but I have also been in this situation where I tried to help out a friend. In return she moved into my home, never paid me a penny towards rent or upkeep, ate all the food in the fridge, borrowed my clothes and when I finally realised she was taking me for a mug, she left and took a lot of my stuff with her. I challenged her about it and she tried to insinuate I had taken HER things. The only thing I could think of doing was to complete disown her and ignore her. All my friends realise what she was up to and they ignored her too | | | | | | |

| | O, gosh how insulting to steal from you then accuse you of it. Yet, in my experience of people, that is what they seem to do. That is all you can do, this friend is not worth any more efforts on your part. It is best to leave these type to their own demise and not allow them any more opportunity to take advantage of you. I hope you have many good friends who truly care for you the rest of your days. | | | |

| | It never happen to me yet, i think you should talk to them, directly ask them why there're saying so bad rumors about you while you help them. They must be stupid guys to hurt someone so nice like you! It is rare to see nice people and instead of keep you well like a good friend, there are unkind toward you, so unfair! >o< | | | | | | |

| | People often are unfair. It is really too bad. Thank you very much! You have made my heart warm with your kind words. I do hope that never happens to you, it hurts. It would be nice to know that most of humanity is not like this, and will be kind and good and grateful, then pass on the blessings when they are able. | | | |
