Misconceptions... (9)
smiley963: People judge people on misconceptions most of the time, as they judge on what had been told to them (Gossip), and Not what they have experienced themselves.
Most people love Gossip, as their whole worlds depend on laughing at people, and exchanging private details of others. I wonder is any have thought that their 'best friends' do exactly the same to them.
My mom used to say:
Don't lend out your ears to others!
How many do exactly that?
Between what I think, what I want to say, what I believe I say, what I say, what you want to hear, what you believe to hear, what you hear, what you want to understand, what you think you understand, what you understand…… They are ten possibilities that we might have some problem communicating or misconceptions. But let’s try anywayMost people love Gossip, as their whole worlds depend on laughing at people, and exchanging private details of others.

**People judge people on misconceptions most of the time, as they judge on what had been told to them (Gossip), and Not what they have experienced themselves.**
Very true
Before my wife died, we were married 41 years & she always said I was too quick to help people by passing on engineering skills, knowledge, teaching, repairing & even making parts free for people we knew whom she suspected were Laughing behind our backs.
I never saw it that way as some work I did was paid for. BUT - Five years ago a friend from Canada & his wife who attended my wife's funeral in 2007 came to see the relations in Margate, so they paid me a visit. -- They dropped proof to me by mentioning a Person for whom they knew I had laid out a complete workshop, advised on all the machinery needed & supervised all the installation as he set up a small business, -- from whom I had heard nothing since. -- Needless to say I refuse to work for nothing anymore.

i am not saying work for free. i think it's important to value one's own skills.Very true

Having said that....
i enjoy being able to give to or help others when i can.
maybe you could reframe that experience in your mind as an experience where you were able to give to someone, in a playing it forward sense? change your perception to one of feeling good about sharing your skills and having given to someone rather than one of feeling used and bitter.
happier thoughts, ...we become what we think.

When you have been used, like I have too, you become hard with some and giving with others, as you have learned people, the hard way!!!
