My weak point is my soft heart, this has caused me lots of problems and also separated me from ungrateful friends, I have a soft heart and I do not like seeing my friends or relatives suffering.
I love to give and help others if I have but this has been telling on my well-being lately, my friends are now taking me for granted because they believe that no matter the case I would still pity them.

One of my favorite friends called me some months ago and cried for help, though I wasn't stable financially and I let her know that things had been tight for me, she held the call angrily and I called her back but she didn't pick up my call.
Immediately I called a friend to lend me the money she requested so that I could make her happy, I got the money from another friend and sent it to her, she thought I had the money but deliberately told her that I didn't have, she then table my matter to my other friend that she requested some money from me and I lied to her.
My other friend called me and I explained everything to her just to make her understand that the money was not mine, they decided to hold grudges against me not thinking of the days that I have been coming through for them, and they both ignored my messages and said different things about me but I care not.
Some weeks back I was coming home from work and decided to check on my other friends, I was about to open the door when I heard them talking about my matter, they tabled my matter and speaking I'll of me, I turned back without knocking and no one noticed my present because the door was closed but the windows were opened so I heard everything they said about me.
I was pained because I'm not the type to have money and lie that I didn't, I love to see other people happy, despite it's been three years of friendship and yet they can never speak well about me, I let it slide and continue as If nothing happened, I related everything to my brother and said I should forgive them and let it go.
Last week that same friend called my help, I wanted to turn her down but my spirit said no, I transferred the money to her and she promised to return it with the previous one, I know that is a big fat lie because she is someone who loves to pick a fight anytime I ask for my money, Ike my mother would say that I should always give money that I know I am not using or will not pain me if the person doesn't return it, this has been helping a lot.
I always lend money that I know won't cause me pain if eventually, the person doesn't pay me back. Having a soft heart towards people is my biggest weak point, I wish I knew how to shout and keep grudges against people but my spirit is always against it, I would rather call you and tell you your mistakes than keep you in mind.

Having sympathy for people and never knowing when to stop is my biggest problem, I always push harder to help even to my detriment and they are still taking me for granted but my soft heart will not let me stop.
I know some people are born to be ingrate no matter what you do for them, this attitude can never make me stop helping people because I always receive double folds anytime I put a smile on people's faces.
