Kindness is the most important virtue one can ever have in life. It does not hurt being kind to people. Some of us are wherever we are because someone was kind to us. We have also faced a lot of pain and suffering because someone was not kind to us. Being kind is good at all times but sometimes the world and nature is not kind to us, you can be kind to people that at some point they do take advantage of you. These are some of the things you need to do in order to stop being taken advantage of.

  1. Do not get afraid of offending them

Some people need people to do everything for them out of nothing, they just need you to do something for them this can be a favour or something of the sort. And you find them getting offended if for instance you do not do something for them. This is wrong since everyone should work for anything so you should say no sometimes even if it means that you are going to offend them sometimes. After all, it is your life and it is more of making yourself happy than making them happy. It is rather they get offended than they take advantage of you. 

  • Plan for your time well

Failing to plan is planning to fail, in life you should always use your time at a good way. Failing to plan your day can led to you being taken advantage of by other people. Make yourself busy and that will not give anyone time plan for you some work hence not you are not going to be taken advantage of. 

For instance, if you know you cannot find time for someone or if someone wants to give you some work just tell them your time frame would not allow you to do that and by doing this you cannot be taken advantage of. 

  • Set your limits

It is important to set limits in life people would want to take advantage of you. If you cannot clearly state your where no one should go overboard then you will be in for trouble. By not setting limits you look like a trolley you can be used by anybody. Set your limits and if tries to cross you, be sure to show your other colours and he will know he is crossing the line and he will never do that again.

  • Learn to say no and mean it

By having this as a slogan to your life you cannot be taken advantage of but you should learn to say it in a polite way because it can be offending when said in the wrong way. You should be bold too because it is not so wise to try to please someone at the cost of your happiness.
