SIGNS THAT LET YOU KNOW YOUR BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF

You may not be able to tell when a friend or anyone close to you is taking advantage of your good nature, and this is because it is hard to judge other people's intent. You may find yourself in this situation if you are young, have survived abuse, or you have a disability that affects your social judgment. Always trust your intuition. If you suspect that something is not right in your friendship or relationship, then something might really be wrong. The following examples are signs that you are being taken advantage of. 

• They Constantly Ask For Favors: Good friends love doing favors for each other. However, if your friend or anyone at all constantly asks for favors without helping you when you need their help, you may have to re-evaluate that relationship. Real friendships are no different than relationships of romance when it comes to give and take. Your friendship should be one that is founded upon Interdependency, not codependency. In no way should you be the only one giving constantly without receiving anything back in return. When we do things for others we do it from our heart without expectation, yes, but real friends match your efforts and whatever you put into the relationship will be reciprocated in one form or another. 
  
  
• They Only Remember You When They Need Your Help: This is one of the most common signs that you are being taken advantage of. If your friend only reaches out when they need something; when they need advice, money or some kind of assistance, then they are taking advantage of you. This person may not be a true friend. 
  
  
• They Have No Interest In Your Personal Life: If your friend doesn’t care about how you are doing, what's going on in your life, and your well being, then they don't care about you. If the conversation always seems to revolve around them, and their issues but when it comes to you and your issues they show no interest, then you are not a priority. These kinds of friends complain only about their issues, but shrug you off when you complain about yours. They may even try to redirect the conversation and make it about themselves. They are always eager to change the topic to whatever favors them.
  
  
• Your Instincts Tell You: Sometimes, you may get the feeling that the relationship depends more on how much and/or what you give and what they receive. You give because you are a nice person, but everyone has their limits. You shouldn’t be the only giver in any relationship.
  
  
• They Don't Respect You: Respect is very important in any relationship. The way the other person treats you should matter to you. Even the basic things matter. Things like acknowledging and appreciating the fact that you've done something for them.

You should also keep in mind that someone's intent can be hard to judge. While some people do bad things for sinister reasons, some good people can do bad or unwise things unintentionally. In some instances there are people who want to do right by you but simply don’t know how to. People have to learn how to be in relationships, or how to be a good friend, that’s why effective communication is so important. People cannot apply skills in a relationship that they haven’t been taught or have yet to learn. For example, people who suffered from childhood emotional neglect or sexual abuse often have a fear of intimacy and are quite withdrawn emotionally. They’re ability to trust others succumbs to their overthinking and paranoia due to skepticism. The real reason can be hard to determine because people fear vulnerability so they are not so quick to open up about these traumatic past experiences. You’ll need to use your discernment. Your intuition is never inaccessible and will ever steer you in the wrong direction as your intuition is your direct connected to source.
