Easy Target

[Poppy123456789]

Why do people think I'm an easy target ?

[sweetiepye]

You probably accept what others have to say, I doubt you question them or their motives. I imagine you are also a people pleaser who doesn't like confrontation. You may even look young for your age . I would also guess you are an honest person and it surprises you when others are not. Pam

I know the feeling I felt I was an easy target after my son died.people saw me as weak and its not nice to go through.

I have often been seen to be an easy target in my life too. I think because I am a nice person people think this equates to weak. I have developed a sharp tongue over the years though and they only make this mistake once!

I asked a good friend once and she said I come over as hi this is me but don't hurt me please. I am still trying to work this one out. x

After awhile it makes you want not to help people. I am nice then people walk all over me

I have been told that I have a bad attitude. I wonder why I put a wall up.

Because you are probably a kind person and you like helping people. They see that and they take advantage of your good nature. It happens to me all the time I just like helping people be Happy for who you are that's all you can do is except it. There are the takers and the givers. It's okay 😁

When I was at work the same happened. My problem was when I was talking to someone I would turn away or move my eyes away from that person. Many feelings, doubts etc can be seen in the eyes and this can cause problems with trust. especially if you look away when talking.

You may need to be more assertive and consider the person you are talking to.
