Do you feel used by everyone?

Question

This isn’t just regarding a partner, but all of my relationships with people in my life. I don’t know how to not feel this way. I feel like anytime someone wants to talk to me it’s for their own benefit. Anytime I ask for someone’s opinion or guidance it’s for their own benefit in what they tell me to do. How can I know the difference from someone who is using me or taking advantage of me or not? How do you trust anyone?

Answer

Truth is, if we could supply all our own needs, we wouldn’t need  the help of a parent, teacher, friend, spouse or God. (Any relationship). We all are somewhat dependent on something/someone somehow.
It’s ok to be needed and we are all “used” at some capacity. The key to being used healthily is having someone who also meets your needs too. Before you let anyone else in your life, figure out what you need, what needs you have that need to be met that frustrates you because their not. 
Meet them yourself (love and befriend, you, date yourself, try new foods, settings, etc, styles), then you will know not only what your needs are, but what it takes to meet those needs without going through a hundred draining relationships/friendships to figure it out. Sounds like you do a lot for others with no reciprocation and deserving it back. You’d be surprised how many adults never learned how to reciprocate/communicate/relationship. You can teach them if you’d like, takes a ton of effort, how to care for you or you can put your energy into loving/healing you. Best wishes🥰
