I have been the person in the 2nd paragraph. It was fucking awful.

When I stopped giving everything to other people they bailed.

Be careful.

I don't mind giving if I receive nothing back because sometimes people aren't in a position to reciprocate.

It's when my actions are treated with contempt, as if I am a fool for giving, that I get annoyed. That is when I stop giving.
