What’s the characteristic of someone who just uses you—for your food, money, house or your car? How can you identify these individuals?

Moocher's. One who takes advantage of your kindness. They take, take, take, and never give. Give a person a chance and if they take your kindness for a weakness that'll tell you they're not for the right thing and keep that person at a distance.

You can easily identify these people. They are the parasites that are eating your food right now. They're the ones with their hands out every time you open your wallet. They're sleeping on your sofa right now and they're borrowing your car all the time. Get a backbone and get some new friends!

If you suspect that someone is just using you, try to stop giving them what you think they're after. It soon becomes very obvious if they were using you or not.
Like, if someone keeps coming around and you always give them food, you might start wondering if they only come to get some food, if they're using you. So the next couple of times they come don't give them food. If they stop coming or start asking for food, they're using you. If they still keep coming despite not getting food, the food is not the reason why they come to you.

You can usually tell the people who just want to use you, they only ever want to take from you, whether it's something material, or things they want you to do for them, and not give anything back. These people just call you when they want something, they have absolutely no interest in you or your life, they only care about what you can do for them. The best way to identify them is to say "no" a couple of times......you probably won't hear from them again.

It sounds like you want to know if you have a sociopath on your hands (4% of the US population)-someone with no conscience because they do not feel a connection to others.
The hallmark of these people is that they use you and show no care for your wants or feelings but at the same time want YOU to feel sorry for them.
Read "The Sociopath Next Door" by Dr. Martha Stout-it's fascinating.

first and foremost, one must remember that nobody can use you unless you allow it. Some people are only around if there is something they can gain from it. However, there are plenty of people out there that provide that for them.

that is easy..whenever they call you they always want something,if you call on them they never can help you. I had a girlfriend who every time she called me she wanted something.When ever I called her and needed something she never could help me. I eventually had to end the friendship.
