    my ex-boyfriend did this to me. our relationship was one-sided. i did and initiated everything while he just took and took and took. my love. my money. my time. its my fault for not realizing it sooner. i couldn't admit to myself that he was that type of person to use people. he did the same to others around him, it was only a matter of time before i admitted to myself he was doing it to me also. nobody is exempt from users, they only care about themselves. i'm finding it very hard to move on because of the investment i put into him and the way he would make me feel, on top of the world (rarely but it felt special to me). but none of it was genuine. its a hard lesson im learning even at age 28.

      I went through the same thing Rachel. Everything you pretty much said, but he had money. Thats what boosts his ego money is everything to him, but everything else took it from me! Thats definitely a narcissist! I just started to learn more about narcissism and I am now more aware that its real and I was with one! He discarded me 3 weeks ago. After 13 years together and had a 2 year break up took me a while to get over it and finally got there and somehow he soothed his way in and I wish I put an end to it when he did. If only I knew what was love bombing then! this all makes sense, he used his sly skills to keep me there until he found a new supply. All these years didnt realise it was narcissistic behaviour, just thought thats how he is and it was normal. When he broke it off, it was the most lies I've ever heard. Its me its not you, im not happy, need to be alone find myself, we kept trying but didn't work (he never tried only when he wanted) we're different, i was showing signs. My god i saw every single sign. Absolute mixed signs and I didnt know that's a form of manipulation. Every other break up was arguing and yelling this one was too calm. He knew when to use me and discard me. I always apologised he never once did even for the smallest thing. Made me question my sanity? He has his chat with me and was done. Fast forward a few days im obviously a mess got completely blindsided! My gut was telling me no, it's that hes got someone new. My suspicions were correct! This whole time behind my back he was talking to someone and used me slowly until he was ready to have the 'chat' with me. I went over to confirm my suspicion and that POS after 18 years that I gave him my whole world and what my family gave him he just shat on it! He opened the door and he knew right then oh crap, I just got caught out, but I only knew because I saw her car in his driveway and he quickly tried to hide us from seeing each other. I asked him to be a man and step outside and give me the honest truth and all he could say is you need to leave, she clearly didn't have a clue he even had a gf this whole time because when I started screaming out hes a cheater a liar and everything under the sun the first thing he did was yell youre a psycho! Im glad i did because she wouldn't have had a clue, so if it happens to her one day, then I warned her! But I keep thinking he will change and treat her like a queen the way i shouldve been treated.A psycho because I've been hurt and betrayed and asking you the truth?! So he was making me out to be crazy and threatening to call the cops!!! The cops because he got busted with the lies and this girl didn't know anything coz he has fed her with lies! I knew there was more to it when he deleted his social media and he would never do that when I would ask him to because he was infatuated over the instagram models and then say to me no we like natural girls this is all fake, but then still be obsessed with them and that im just insecure! I am so disgusted that allowed my whole time, body and soul to this guy! I gave him my world my heart! He stomped on it all for his new supply?! He used me to better himself for the next person?! That is evil! This is a guy that lost his family and we took him under our wings living with my family gave him a whole new life and he simply shat on us all! The lies and manipulation he has caused me. He's made me feel worthless so disgusting I can't even look at myself while he's already happy out there with someone that I didnt get to see, to see why she is better than me? But I have to think, STOP, its not you. He lied his was with her like he did with you. POS! I've never felt this low in my life. My mental state, he has ruined! Belittled me and I took it all because I just thought i can help him hes depressed or I loved him?! Who does that to another person and wakes up living and breathing like you did not do anything wrong?! All these unanswered questions how did it happen? When did it happen? What does she have I dont? Who is she? Where did you meet? How did I not see anything? My mind is nuts! Im in so much pain from 1 person?! How could 1 person ruin your life and go about their day with the next person? Ao sick! Sick to think he did this for God knows how long and I was used. He mentally detached himself ages ago and I didnt see it? He manipulated me so much that I was the insecure one its all in my head! To only be with me this whole time acting up and down and she was there all along?! So sick! To call the cops? That is insane! It was all about his ego and to make me look pathetic in front of her! Goes to show no matter how long someone can be in your life can still shit on it and continue with theirs! I will definitely get a 'i didnt want to hurt you response' or protect you! Hell no! You did it to protect yourself and your new supply so she doesn't know the real you! POS i didnt see anything in his phone!! He obviously was deleting msgs. Im furious ! If only I dug more I could have ended this months ago because there is no way this had just happened the day after we broke up. He planned it. Especially due to being stuck in a pandemic and being on lockdown for 5 months not being able to see anyone he planned it. I dont know how I didnt see it! I can't get past this. Im constantly thinking how blinded I was to not see it! There were red flags (now I see them), but during the time he just kept reassuring me its in my head! I feel like such an idiot! I guess, he'll love her more than me, treat her better and change for her! Im so mad as I kept asking the last few months what are we? Im over getting treated differently everyday and he would just bypass the conversation or come up with something shitty and be like oh you this or you that and then I'd either cry and leave or I would apologise! If I threatened to leave im done I've had enough of this treatment he'd smirk and I'd leave not speak to him and he would get in touch with me in a week and be like hey, I dont wanna argue if were gonna argue ill be over it and he'll ignore me! How many times he would ignore me for a week or so while I would beg for him to just speak to me. Beg and cry to speak. Oh it was sickening. I fought and fought and im at the bottom. We had broken up for 2 years at one stage it took me a year to get on with my life and I thought ok we've both grown we know what we want now, well looks like I did and this whole time he was just using me until he found someone better. I feel so sick and disgusting and am afraid how will I get past this? Im scared if I dont. Im trying my hardest and its killing me. Not even the decency or respect to be honest and tell me he was never in it for full term. I close my eyes every night and i can't sleep I panic all over again. How did I not know or see anything? How did I get so fooled? I see the signs now, even with our dog that he supposedly loved so much, he stopped asking for her all makes sense now because he couldn't tell her why she wasn't there when she'd be around! I feel like a fool. An idiot. Disgusting, worthless every single thing you can feel. Cheating is bad enough, but forming an actual relationship with someone while you didn't end the other one is pure evil! And I saw nothing! I asked so many times i cant handle this what are we I cant keep going on like this and just knew how to manipulate me and keep me in until he was ready to let me go! Who does that? Just leave. Break up I dont deserve this. Dont know how they can sleep at night so peacefully!

    This was an important video for me to watch. Lately I've been feeling very used, being pulled in all directions to help others when I barely have time to work on my goals. And they don't ever make room for me. My one friend is constantly asking me for help with her college assignments. Last year it went too far and took up too much of my time. And now it was pretty much impossible for me to make time for her with all of my other issues. She's really struggling in so many ways right now which aren't at all her fault, and I care about her. I wanted so badly to help but this time I felt a little like no one cared about me. So I said I would see if I could help and let her know. And she waited for me to respond but I never did, and she did poorly on her midterms. So I actually made a big mistake and hurt her and the situation even more because I didn't communicate, I couldn't say no even though I wanted to so badly. Set your boundaries. And if they seem disappointed in you, you need to just make it a conversation. I care about my friend. Just as I apologized for thinking I could make room in my schedule even though it was unrealistic, she apologized too. She said that having people help her is the only way she feels loved. She said she needs to work on that. I think that having this honest conversation really helped us both. Everyone needs space, self healing, and to find the answers that work for you.

      Even if someone like this approaches you, don't fall for them. Ask some questions to yourself before making anyone your friend, because not everyone deserves a beautiful friendship-
      1. Do I genuinely feel happier with this person?
      2. Does this person care for my needs or concerns or is least bothered?
      3. Is he just sticking with me for his own benefit?
      If the answers to these questions are not satisfactory i.e. it proves that this person is either using you or is a fake friend. Beware of such people. Being alone is better than having such fake/toxic or selfish friends.
      Ask other people around him, about his nature, obviously you won't directly ask them about that person's nature, but indirectly ask them or observe his behaviours around them. Try to find someone who is genuinely considerate and caring and who makes you feel happier when you are with them, life will be beautiful than ever and if you already have one person who is like that in your life, you are the luckiest person.

    This made me remeber when I was in 5th grade, and I got bullied a lot. So when someone asked to be friends, I wouldn't hesitate to say yes because of the bullying.But I didn't realize this person was using me I should've got all the hints when she'd ask me to buy her something from the book fair or when she only talked to me for answers to my homework or test. She wasn't a really nice friend either but she made me believe I would be nothing without her so I stuck by her side, until I finally snapped. She was talking about me and spreading rumors that I heard from all my bullies talking about it.So I told the principal everything and she got expelled along with everyone whoever bullied me. It sucks to get taken advantage of because you think the person you known for half of your life actually cared about you. so the message I am trying to convey here is watch for what the person does watch the small little things they do so that you can see if they're using you or not l.To anyone who's gotten taken advantage of I hope you got justice or cut that person off because nobody deserves it EVER. Loved this video as well great job!😊❤💜💛

I went on a group call with 5 people (all the people me and her know) and all of them agreed that they hate her cause of her attitude, she deserved it but i wish she could of gotten better, i feel kind of guilty and sick just thinking about how nobody likes her that much and i wish i could of done her good but she uses all her friends. One time she asked me to buy her something and i said i'm saving up but after that she started whining and yelling an screaming at me so i had to agree. I haven't talked to her in a month and honestly i'm real happy cause she was giving me anxiety and making me feel bad about myself.

    I think I had something similar to this happen to me. I was friends with someone who once got me to write a story for them. I didn't want to, but they kept begging me to, and when I kept saying "no", they pouted which made me feel bad and I did it for them. Throughout the writing process they acted really pushy and demanding and was really nitpicky on what went in the story. They also had me write a second story while working on this one, and they used the same tactics: repeatedly beg me, then pouted about it when I kept telling them no. Not sure if it's the same as using me but yeah.

    I had a best friend for twelve years, until last year. During the summer break, she deleted me on all social media, and I noticed a month later- she unfollowed me before that as well, multiple times. I was always the one asking to hang out, and she never wanted to be at my house. She was often angry at me, but I thought it was normal that people where angry sometimes. I often blamed myself, and when we fought, I was the only one to say sorry even though I did nothing wrong. Once, I lost my completely new phone on my way home from her house, and she didn’t let me look for it at her house “because it was my fault, and it shouldn’t affect her”. She also only invited me to the last part of her birthday partys, where she and her friends would go bowling, eat pizza and slush, and then go home to her house and eat cake, and I only got invited to the cake part, not knowing they were going bowling. I’m actually really happy I’m not friends with her anymore. She was really toxic, and I feel like I’m becoming a better person. I don’t hate her tho. I don’t miss her one bit. It’s kind of strange tho, cuz we take the same bus home from school everyday, and walk the same way from the bus. She often glance at me and quickly looks away. I hope she’s having a great life, even though she was like that. I also had another reeeaaally toxic best friend the first to years of school. I was very little so I didn’t understand what she was doing was wrong. When the bell rang, she would hold me, and hit me multiple times. Especially if I did something she didn’t like and she got angry at me. She often hit me, and got angry. I started pretending to be sick so I wouldn’t meet her, when I was SIX. I understand though, cuz her parents got divorced, but still.
    That was very long sorry- I just had to get it out. Also, English isn’t my first language, so there might be some sentences that doesn’t make sense. There’s also other things I would like to include, but it’s long enough as it is-

    I sounds a lot like my step sister and the worst part is I had to live in the same house under our parent's strict rules and abuse. Her mother always takes her side! Every time she wants something from me I say "NO!" So she runs to her mother with fake tears telling some sort of concocted lie and then she tells my father and I end up treated like I'm the bad guy! Yet he wonders why I never get things done like I was supposed to! I try to explain to them how it was all of my step sisters doing and They chew me out for making up excuses and lying, only I wasn't lying and there was nothing I could do about it! I could have left home but they would later find me, drag me home, beat me to a pulp and then keep me locked in a room! So that wasn't an option. It was by some miracle my real mother helped me out of that situation and helped me to to become independent. I find it hard to trust anyone these days after all of all that cruelty I suffered from others growing up. Other than that, life has been really good so far.

    I had this one “friend” of mine who used me for my intelligence and money. She wanted to buy something from the school’s canteen but didn’t have enough money, so I gave her some of mine since I had extra. But then, after that, she constantly kept begging me to give money, and whenever I refused, she would still beg, and I would purposely not bring it and say “I forgot” when I didn’t. And, we were having a exam one day and she was really bad at that subject, like really bad, I was pretty bad myself but still understood most of the concept and that day, she constantly kept asking to copy my answers and I said “NO” because before that day, she “promised” to not cheat off my test. I let her just copy one of my answers and she “Thanks” but what did she do again? She begged to copy another of my answers. I literally said “NO” and ignored her and let her kept begging for my exam answers. She also calls me a lot of mean stuff and as well used me. So in conclusion, she was manipulative, mean, dumb, and a fake friend. Thankfully she left my school and I don’t have to see that stupid person again 😌

    One of my friends did this and now bully me because I stood up for myself and my other friends who got threatened by them. I’m no longer friends with them, but I feel like they’re using my other friends who are scared of her.
