Being Too Good: His and Hers
by David
At first, the phrase "being too good" sounds cruel to me because being too good to others is so very special. People who are good to others sometimes can't control how good they are. It's very disappointing but half the world gives and half the world takes. If you only give all of the time and haven't learned to expect something in return by accepting goodness from others, you will be taken advantage of by most people. It is a rare person who sees the special light that shines in you and doesn't take the mile when you give so much already.
Being too good, or not looking out for yourself can lead to manipulation as well as mental or physical abuse by others. Look out for yourself in your relationships and don't allow these negative things to happen to you. We all need to show love but all of us also need to receive love in return.

I think that many just lose track of life being too helpful to others. There is an involumtarily control by the needs of others, it becomes more than a vocation, more of a prison sentence.

"Being too good" brings you satisfaction, but you should be careful because people can take advantage from you.

You are so true. I do agree with you about being too good. They always advice me to be selfish at times but I just can't help it but still be good. I don't think there's such a thing being too good because you can't measure how good a person is because it is only natural for a person to be good to others.
