Ever have someone tell you you're too nice to them? It doesn't matter if you were being "too nice" to a boy, to a girl, to a man, to a woman, to a friend. Ever have someone say they don't deserve your love? Has it happened to you?
If so - run. Run far away in the opposite direction of the person that just said it. If it's happened to you recently, ... run! That's a big [big, big] red flag - and it usually means, that recipient of your niceness and love doesn't deserve it. A girlfriend whom I met on the eve of 2007 told me this one time as we were sitting on the floor of my living room chit-chatting away about life and love. She said, "You know what I dislike the most, Arry? I really dislike it when someone says You're too nice." ... and her words hit me hard. It was like someone took a gong and slammed my heart against it. I used to hear those words often. You're too nice. What in the word - I'm too nice!?!?!??? Why can't a person just be kind, nice, loving just because? Ah... well, experience...
Because the undeserving person will take advantage of you. I heard these words again in the past year - and against my better judgement I stuck around a little way too long. It means I have to be careful of who I spend my time with, with whom I open my heart to and allow in, ... but the idealistic romantic in me wishes I didn't have to be so careful... and that the deserving one will appreciate my gifts to them.
What do you think?
Good night,
Arry
