I'm Very Useful

Apparently, that's what some people think.

Because somehow they can always find a way to use me, and then somehow just leave. It's not even gradual or indirect anymore. They literally make it so obvious that I'm being used. It's like putting up a sign board right in front of my face.

I read this tweet a few days back and I had to retweet it.

(Just to clarify, it was a tweet containing a screenshot of an Instagram photo...)


Now I know what you're thinking. "SO TRUE OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG"

That's probably why I'm writing this blog post really.

I mean, look, I'm okay with helping people. Perfectly fine. I love to help people because it makes me happy. I really don't mind, I want to be useful to my friends.

And I especially find it super comforting when people tell me their problems and confide in me, because it shows that they trust me and want me to know about their problems. Although I share my problems with pretty much everyone on Twitter, only a very few know what happens to me, what happens behind the scenes. And that's because I trust these people so well. So I find that whenever someone tells me a secret or just tell me about their days, I find it so comforting that I am good enough a friend.

What annoys the heck out of me, though, is that those that you least expect would betray you and use you so obviously actually do end up doing exactly that. Like literally, some people can go like "Hi, how was your day?" and then the next question will be like "Can you help me with this...".

Again, I'm okay with helping people. It's okay. I am fine with it. I repeat. I am okay. I love to help people!

But it becomes so obvious when it becomes a cycle. Like literally, that person will just do the same thing over and over again. And then leave you once you answer his/her question. And then come back after weeks to do it again. Holy crap. It's so obvious now.

I wouldn't mind if it's not so obvious, like if that person still tries to establish contact, and talk to you sometimes. But some people can just ask for help every single time they talk to me. What the heck, right?

And what sucks about all of these is that, as I've said before and what the Insta-tweet rightfully sums it up at the end, it happens to people that you least expect would do it to you. Like they probably built a very strong bridge with you previously, or maybe they seem so nice and even though you're not close friends with that person, you still won't expect to be used by them. But you end up becoming their tool.

I find it sad, I guess. But hey, what to do, right? I nag and complain and rant... But I still end up helping anyway. Because it's rude not to. I'll probably just help really. It makes me feel better. I'll probably hate that person even more but I'll feel less guilty. Haha. What is this.

Song of the day:

(Okay, I know, I'm late to the party again. This song is so good, I love Ellie's vocals.)
