Being a user or being used?

Errr. None of these! Please don't be one! Okay? Okay.

While lying on my bed and scrolling on social media, it stumbled into my mind these users/exploiters and people that are used by them.

Being a user. I'm pretty sure we are all aware of what it does mean. Manggagamit. In some issues, we see on social media or even in some movies, some characters were using their advantages to use others for their personal gain. These exploiters, commonly use someone kind to them or worst madly inlove with them.

I recall I have this classmate way back in high school. She is inlove with this fcking guy, who abused her physically, emotionally, mentally, and yeah even financially. That being said, this guy is getting money from our martyr classmate and material things. He always demands from the girl. We speak to our classmate, and she said, "I love him. I'm afraid that he would leave me if I will not give him what he wants." We responded, "there are lots of men who will love you without demanding anything." But then she said, "I'm afraid no one will love me and stay with me." So, she gave everything until nothing was left with her and the boy cheated. This is not the end though haha. But that's not our topic haha.

It is just sad that these users taking advantage of someone just because they know that this specific person won't say no to them.

Being used. Stop! Please, don't let others abuse you. I know it is hard to say no but learn to say it, for your own good and try to reflect and analyze things. You can certainly know when someone is just using you though there are people who are so damn good at pretending. But sooner or later, you will definitely know. Setting boundaries is a must too. Cut them off in your life if necessary.

Mostly, you can identify if a person is just using you: (1) they just contact you because they need you or they just want something from you. In short, because that's the only time that you are convenient for them. (2) for me this is the worst - they are manipulating you, making you feel guilty when asking a favor. Like saying, "Hey we're friends right? please do this for me" ('parang hindi naman kaibigan. Familiar?'), "If you love me, you will do what I say" and so on.

(I know you won't read this). You, yes you, you are being used yet you cover that person because you love her? Come on, man. That girl is literally using you and playing with your feelings. She continued doing that and you still haven't learned? Know your worth. Focus on what makes you grow(wow, coming from me? haha) and your goals. Stop fooling yourself. Stop being used.

You gave all of you. Now, nothing is left to you. Ay dsurb! Chaar. Hirap magpakatanga no? Haha. Been there, done that. Don't be confused, I'm not the one in the story, ha? Haha. Ibang case yung sakin haha.

Hey, fellas! I'll try to read more articles later after the meeting. We, graduating council officers, were given a task for the graduation. Gagraduate raw kami na haggard sabi ni ma'am. Haha. Kaloka. Pahamak nag nominate. Huhu. See ya!!
