Do you ever feel that the nicer you are, the shittier your life will be, and that the crueler people who have no problem walking over others succeed easier?
I’ve always hated the phrase, “It’s just business.”
No it’s not, you asshole. You’re taking the humanity out of the company and possibly ruining peoples’ lives.
Do you trust when you shouldn’t? I mean, are you naturally trusting, and do you never learn? Is that a flaw in a personality?

“Nice guys finish last” comes to mind…but yes I agree with that somewhat..
I used to be overly trusting but that was some time ago….I don’t really trust so much these days :l
It’s about finding those who are worth being trusted, and rejecting those who aren’t. Knowing the difference is hard, and sometimes you don’t find out until they have already betrayed you.
People who only care about themselves will probably gain wealth, prestige etc easier, but these things are nothing compared to a trusted friend who will stay by your side no matter how rich and famous you are. I just feel pity for them since their lives are just an illusion of happiness, and most of them even realize this before they die.
i dont like to help people they are unthankful or throw it in my face. I dont mean here in Suicide Project
Well my lifes incredibly shit and I am also quite nice so yep I deffo feel that sometimes! lol
I’ve trusted so many times when I shouldn’t that now even if I lend a mate a tenner or something I am straight away thinking they’re trying a sly one. Sometimes they’re not sometimes they are. I think sometimes a lot of trusting people too much isn’t actually about you really trusting them its more that you don’t want to be offensive by indicating that you don’t trust them -at least its been that way with me in the past. Also if you’re feeling depressed in life in general and low in self esteem then you can also find it harder to say ‘no’ which can lead to you placing trust in someone just because it seems like the easiest thing to do in that particular second .. Then they prove themselves not worthy of that trust, you beat yourself up again and have another ‘they treated me like rubbish’ memory even further damaging your self esteem and the cyclone continues!
I wouldn’t say its a flaw in a personality, I would just say it can be quite self defeating in a world where you have to put yourself 1st because no one else will.
I trusted too easily in the past, wrongly believing that they had the same sense of ethics and integrity I did…life has been a long sequence of instances where that was clearly not the case. Many rude awakenings have left me unwilling/unable to trust anyone.
