i'm beginning to wonder if i am just a mat to be walked on. i'm not trying to sound egotistical, but i'm a nice person. if you need my help, i will give as much of it as i can. i know that there is such a thing as being too nice.. & i guess that's what i just might be. i had a so-called friend screw me over recently. i've known her over a year now, we went to school together for a few months, but we haven't hung out a lot lately. i called every once in a while to say hey & she did the same. i was talking to her a little more frequently here in the past week, & i called her up to ask for a small favor. the girl that was with her basically told me she was taking X amount for doing me a favor, & i didn't object even tho part of me wanted to. i knew she deserved a little compensation, but she was basically telling me what she was going to take of what was mine. i didn't get pissed, even tho i wanted to say "hell no".. but being the nice person i am, i let her have it anyways & went home. turns out my compensation cost me $40.. so i called her up to tell her (calmly) & she hangs up on me. she refused to pick up the phone, so i texted her & asked her what was going on. i waited for about 30 minutes.. she texts me back with "i'm sorry it's not my fault, i had no idea" & that's all she wrote. i told her i wasn't mad at her (but that was because i was more mad at the other girl that was with her). but you know what, they were both in on it, so i think the blame is 50/50. i don't understand what would have made her do this, it's really out of character for her. i can't get too mad.. like the saying goes "shame on you if you fool me once, shame on me if you fool me twice".. this isn't gonna happen again. i'm a big believer in karma.. so there's no need for me to go out trying to seek revenge or blow her phone up to try to get my money back. i'm just sick of being the one people walk all over or take advantage of. ok, i'm done ranting for the nite
