The last time

[PHATchik]

When was the last time you were used by someone? I don't mean the little things. I mean the things that just make you say "Damn, they used me." Happens way too often IMO.

I can't say that i have ever been used. How have you been used?

In my business, there's all sort of double dealing going on, so quite often./......... but that's part of business unfortunetely, so it's water off a duck's back.

Socially, i can't remember the last time. I am a good judge of character, so thankfully, i can use my instincts to tell me what a person's intentions are before i get too inolved with them.

Using people definitely goes on in business dealings. I've had people attempt to use me as far as my articles go. Trying to influence the angle I put on the story, trying to get an article written, etc.

Personal life, it happens there too. Some people simply know what buttons to push, and they push them. The weaker you are, the easier it is to you use you.

It's not about being weak. Being helpful is not being weak, but there is a fine line. You just have to learn to analyse people a little better as to their true intentions.

In my business, i deal with many different people day to day, so you get pretty good at being able to analyse people's behaviour, because you have to in business.

Actually, I think it IS part weakness. Being used doesn't necessarily involve helping someone. It could be not realizing you are being played or allowing someone to push your buttons.

Just learn to use and trust your instincts more. Look for little signs in a person's character. As the saying goes, never look a gift horse in the mouth.

I'm more than just a piece of meat

I would never let anyone take advantage of me in a negative way... If they try, they're usually met with a face-to-face confrontation. I am usually very alert to my surroundings, so I avoid it if it does happen.

You make it sound as if it something you can see coming. Sometimes, you can be used in the most innocent of situations or by the people you would think could never do somethign like that.

A girl I was fucking when I was 19 had me twisted up pretty badly. Damn what a lousy bitch she was. ROT IN HELL KELLY!!

I think it's happening now...

 

[PHATchik]

That's true. It's weird, I have this "I am in control of the situation and surroundings" mentality. Even though I know it's not true a lot of the times, it helps me prepare for the worst, even though it is a little paranoid...

Trust me, that's not a bad thing.
