One of the worst things is being made to feel like you're taken for granted. Where, you check up on them constantly, you're there for them during their lows without expecting anything in return, you're readily available to them and you change your plans to suit their needs and then they become too comfortable. They think it's okay to give you less time because you won't mind. They think it's fine if they take hours to reply because you're going to reply straightaway anyway. They think that you're always going to be available to them, so they don't need to change their plans especially for you. We're partly to blame for this because we give so much of ourselves to the other person that they start to think it's okay to take more, want more and be given more from us. But we need to take this control back if we are to protect ourselves. You can't keep giving and giving without complaining about not being given anything in return. Yes, love and friendship are not relationships that are based on a 'give and take system. But if you're the one who constantly puts your all into this and gets nothing in return, then the other person clearly doesn't love or value you enough to invest just as much into you. One of the worst things is being made to feel like you're not going anywhere' so they can do whatever they want. Because that is wrong. Fight for what you deserve and tell them when you feel like you're not being treated right. And stop putting your all into others, just remember — you deserve just as much love, care and time as you - give to others. @thelostdiary ━━━━━━━━━
