You try to be quiet and not respond, they'll say anything negative to discourage you.
You try not to hurt people's feeling, you'll just become very vulnerable.
You try to care about others situations, they'll use you and will think that they can walk in and out of your life anytime they wanted.
You try to be generous, they'll treat you like a meal ticket.
You go out of your way to make friends, it will lead to disappointments.
You are willing to do things for them yet they won't do the same for you.
You ask yourself if you're good enough or you just showed your best parts and good deeds to the wrong people.
You try to be a good person. You try to be nice. You try. You should.

Because that's the way to go.

In the end you become lonely and empty. Like a fishing net down in the sea for hours, assuming to have great multitude of fish, not knowing that the net is completely broken.

What do we do? Repair the net? Improve the fish hook? Go from artificial bait to natural bait to see which technique catch more fish? No. You freaking stop fishing. That's what.

Happiness. Satisfaction. Gratitude. None of those comes out of it.
You've been trying to help and improve others situation in any way possible, and yours is not improving any soon. They'll think everything is okay about you, because you spread positivity. Not knowing that you need fixing too. Stop trying.

The hell with being a good person anyway. It's self infliction. In this
uncompassionate and ungrateful world where pride is at an all time high, you shouldn't be. How they treat you is how they feel about you.
Stop trying to maintain the 'good person' image. They don't even appreciate it. It's only good for other people. You have to talk back sometimes. Just do you. So then you can't complain about anything. You won't get disappointed, hurt and annoyed. In the end they'll still judge you.

Since when did anyone ever gain respect and appreciation for being 'nice' anyway? Nope. Used and Abused. That's what you get when you care about being careful, nice and compassionate to people. Makes me think that people don't know good when they see it.

***** it. I'm done putting a smile and giving people advice. No care for the world. Time to finally have fun in my way. I can only be nice for so long and maintain a good image for people to see. I'm not really good. I give up. Ended up with nothing but hate for unrequited love. Should we keep treating people good despite getting an opposite treatment?

Can discouragement and negativity really deprive a 'good person' from being good?
Can you really be the love you never received?
I don't know. You tell me.

I guess that's the definition of a strong moral character.
