Don't take me for granted cause unlike the rest, I'm not afraid to walk away.
We've all experienced it, the feeling of being taken for granted. When we're around people who act like they don't care about you and as if what you've done for them is meaningless no matter how much you actually do for them, the feeling can be overwhelming and frustrating. But to truly shine in this world, there's only one way forward: walk away.
There are many benefits of walking away from a person or people that take you for granted. Breakups can be beneficial in the long run, but they're not always necessary.
You might be used to being taken for granted, but here are some ways in which letting go will improve your life:
You'll find people more appreciative and supportive.
When you let go of people who don't care about you and your efforts, you let go of their negative effects on your own self-esteem. You'll be less likely to become bitter and more likely to find people who appreciate what you do for them.
Remember that people take you for granted because they think they're entitled to it.
When you walk away, the message will become clearer, and you'll soon find people showing appreciation where it's due. When someone else tries taking advantage of your own goodwill, instead of taking their actions personally or feeling angry at them, think about why they acted like that in the first place. Why are they so entitled to demand for everything and take you for granted?
You'll learn and grow.
When someone takes you for granted, it's as if they don't care about what you say or do. You might feel that there's no need to grow anymore because the person who took you for granted is doing a good job, but this is not true at all. You can always return to where you started, but remember that the future of your own life has never been fixed yet. When you're around someone who takes you for granted, it's like telling you that you don't have the capability to change your life. Rather than wasting time and energy on someone who doesn't care about what you've done for them, walk away. Stay by yourself and within your own life, and the more you do something every day, the better of a person you'll become.
You'll learn and grow a lot more than if you'd stayed with them.
You might have been used to being taken for granted, but you'll realize there's more to life than just being there and doing nothing. You'll have much more than you would if you'd stayed with the person who didn't care about your own efforts. Remember that even though it's hard at first, walking away from a person who isn't appreciative will become easier and easier with time.
