I'm not really apt to trust people because i've been screwed over in the past even by people who i thought i could count on.They'll put on this fake front and pretend to be nice to me,and then they'll try to get something from me.When someone is out to use you,is it generally because they are unsatisfied with their own life and want more? It's starting to piss me off,because it seems like there's no nice people out there in the world you can trust anymore.What ever happened to people having good morals and judgement these days?Is the world that screwed up nowadays?

I'll admit those people are out there, and there is plenty of them. While I do have the ability, I choose not to use it as I do have morals. While manipulators are good at playing a game, I can't believe that the person being played has absolutely no clue. I come across manipulators all the time. Sometimes I let them play and sometimes I don't. There are good people out there, but maybe you should take a look at why you are attracting these types of people.

No the world is not screwed up it's the screwed up people that make it so, i totally hear you....and understand where you are coming from.....people get a kick out of pretending to be nice, and underlying all that pretense is a cesspool of deceit....they have no morals, no values, no good intentions for anyone.....people like these make the world a cold place to be sometimes......but having said that there are some good people out there who are not just about what they can get from you, but who genuinely care about others.....never despair you must be a really nice person to have drawn all these losers into your life...they saw your kindness, and good character, and was drawn to that, there is an old saying that the dark is always drawn to the light.....never lose that nice spirit you have, because of these people, just make sure you protect your emotions, and yourself from them...they are not worth knowing. Good luck.

You speak the truth. The world is quite a mess. and if you allow it to get to you. being pissed off and staying pissed off. then you will be just like the rest A MESS. There are nice descend, high morals and respectable people out there. Maybe change your surroundings, go places you wouldn't normally go. I started a new job, just last year about 10 miles from my home, a side of town I rarely visited. I have met and become good friends with alot of them that I made contact with though my work. So head up, go out on an adventure and find the other side, its waiting for you.

Yes, the world IS that screwed up. When children take weapons to school and kill each other...and I'm talking 5 and 6 yr olds, they believe there will be no punishment or repremands, because that is how they had been raised to that point. Parent hands are tied alot to the point where they can't punish properly...depending on the offense......My kids can do timeout on their heads and believe it's worth sitting still for a bit to do what they did. I'm trying to take away alot more no b-day parties....etc. The things THEY want to do. They are beginning to get the picture, but there is still alot of whining and crying. Yes there are alot of users out there...another thing parents teach their kids without realizing it. The kids watch mom or dad do it not only to their spouse, but to them as well. Alot of that has to do with the wrong type, or not being able to punish. If you can't punish your child, you manipulate them into doing what you want, and that's how they grow up, believing that you need to manipulate to get what you want. I would never even consider hurting my children, but a swat on the butt might do the job depending on the offense. But pain doesn't linger, so it doesn't leave much of an impression for them to remember in the future. You have to make sure that they won't want to do whatever it was again so make sure the punishment takes away something they really want. Thanks for letting me vent! lol

So, so many of them. They're like roaches, everywhere, and you think the coast is clear, and they're there! AGAIN!
Don't dive into relationships and be too friendly up front. Keep boundaries at all times. You'll get to know people after a while. Look at body language, inconsistent, how they can turn on the charm-especially if they want, want, want. Have a superficial relationship with them. If they try to get push, say NO.

Relationships are always give and take.
Everyone has to recieve something they need from a relationship or it means nothing. However, hopefully, they will also be willing to give something to the other half of the relationship.
Look for people who you can help, encourage, or support in some way.
Chances are, you will recieve more than you expect from being their friend.

Have you heard the song by jack johnson--"where have all the good people gone" download it its great.
Do you think you may have to high expectations of people? what do you mean trying to get something from you? most people are friends with other people in order to get something from them whether its good company..love....acceptance...
maybe you are attracting the wrong type of people, have a look at the way you act around people and see what sort of vibes you give off , maybe you need to change yourself in order to attract the sort of people you want in your life. there are nice people out there : )

I feel the same way mostly.
The trick is to not exclude everyone.
Make people earn your trust though.
Maybe think about it like the military does it, they promote people after awhile to higher trust and higher rank. If they screw up really bad, demote them.
