Rescuers Become Victims

2005-10-26 Posted at 02:44:08 PM

Have you ever tried to help someone and had it backfire in your face?  How do you know when you are really doing someone a favor and when they are taking advantage of you?

• Look for patterns in the behavior of others...this might help differentiate between the person who really needs a boost and the one who is a TAKER!
  
• Is the person always crying for attention with some negative ploy?
• Does the person tend to blame others for the consequences of their own behavior?
• Does this individual use drugs or alcohol to escape solving problems?

These are only a few ways to determine if someone is pulling sympathy strings that will backfire when you go to their aid.  If you have additional ideas...please share them.

Until tomorrow,

Bee
