Posted by Nevermore. It got to a point where I've given so much when I DIDNT want to I had to LEARN to say no!Posted by T4taurusI have read the quote somewhere..
I often feel unsatisfied with myself, although it makes me happy making others feel happy. Often times feeling like "they" are never there for me like I am for them and realizing it's okay!! to feel that way.
it goes like this:
"If you ever expected return from other after you gave the kindness to them. Thats not kindness, but business."

Posted by JohnTheBaptist100What's interesting is I'm the opposite
I am totally like this in intimate relationships but not with family and friends.
I have learnt many lessons and am more discerning now as to whom I "sacrifice" myself for ie "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours"...
In fact because of the way I am in intimate relationships I have learnt to take my time very very slowly before even getting into any kind of platonic friendship let alone intimate relationship.. People are selfish... Got to study people really hard before diving in...
Posted by JohnTheBaptist100At any point in human evolution, this is hard. I find that while most people can render little help on a daily basis, to have that someone who will look out for you or take a bullet for you is extremely difficult. Most people are takers not givers, or simply they are very bad at sensing others' needs.

Posted by T4taurusNever put yourself second and expect people to be kind and lovely. People are generally selfish and horrible. I know how conflicting for us as Tauruses is trying to be selfish - like for an Aries or Sagittarius for example is their own very being.
It's okay to be sensitive and overly emotional. It's okay to put yourself first and most importantly say NO and be okay with it.
I find myself and other tauruses blocking our emotions, subsiding US and catering to other people or putting others before ourselves.
I often feel unsatisfied with myself, although it makes me happy making others feel happy. Often times feeling like "they" are never there for me like I am for them and realizing it's okay!! to feel that way.
The only way to change it is being comfortable doing things for others and not expecting anything in return. I think l/we have a lot of strength that others don't possess and sometimes it takes a tool on us.

Posted by T4taurusIt is good to give. But do it consciously when you know that you're not expecting anything back in return.Posted by Nevermore. It got to a point where I've given so much when I DIDNT want to I had to LEARN to say no!Posted by T4taurusI have read the quote somewhere..
