Is there really no use being nice to someone who clearly doesn’t appreciate it? Why do some people lack basic courtesy? Why should I bother on not being such a bitch when clearly, I’m being taken advantage off? Do nice guys or in this case, girls always finish last as they all say? Really? I had an encounter during this trip that made me think these thoughts. My dad and uncle said that now I must learn to draw the line between being nice and being firm when need be. Personally, having been in a situation where I was treated badly, I believe that no one should be treated in that way. EVER. So I try my best to provide the best kind of guidance I know. Some people appreciate it, some don’t. And this time, this girl obviously didn’t. And to think I was so silly to help her in any way I can, gave her advice and wrote her notes. Clearly, nothing is appreciated. No thank yous and no sorries for having done something wrong. I wonder why I try so hard. Maybe it’s my great sense of responsibility. IT’s my job to help you, cos’ you are assigned to be under my care and I’m just doing my job. If you don’t like what I am telling you, so be it. I try hard to be nonchalent about this. But I can’t help but feel like I’ve been taken advantage off. Perhaps sometimes, not all, nice guys do finish last. And we do feel horrible at the end of the day. For me, the lesson learnt is, if the person is not willing to accept my guidance or my help, fuck it. I will not do anything. I will not write notes for her, I will not tell her things which I feel is important to know. If you think you know everything, fine, so be it. But don’t tell me I didn’t warn you so! I did, but you just refused to listen.
