Life Suckers & How To Deal With Them

I used to be the taker! Although I could not see it, all I did was demanded and demanded off my people. I was too busy having my needs met that I forgot the needs of the most important people in my life. I was too busy trying to feed the cravings of my insecurities that I forgot how insecure I was making other people feel. Are you sucking the life out of the people who matter to you? Stop it now or you will soon lose the very people you are living off emotionally.

Are you on the other hand, the person who feels drained and used but you can’t leave because you feel they can’t do without you? Listen, they were born without you and they will die without you. Release yourself from such a burden before you become a victim of an insecure person. The result will be a drained and newly introduced insecure YOU! Then you too will start looking for someone to depend and live on emotionally. Hurting people hurt other people. They don’t know how to give, only how to take. They are empty and need to fill the hole within. To engage with such a person is to lose your own life in the process.

I have been there and been both the victim and the villain. The end results are not positive. Everything changed the day I decided to love people just because they are individuals and respect their space because it belongs to them. I became selfless rather than selfish and concentrated on meeting their needs based on the resources I had without draining myself in the process. Now I am more fulfilled and people want to be around me . Imagine if everyone concentrated on giving rather than just receiving, how peaceful will the world be everyday?
