Being Used Quotes
Be inspired by our collection of Being Used quotes. It has happened to all of us. We have all been used in some way, and it hurts, REALLY hurts. That person may have been your everything, and now they are treating you like you “deserve to serve” them. Well, now is the time this stops. It stops right now! It’s time to take back control of your life and take out the trash!
Never let people take you for granted
If someone is not seeing your worth anymore, they will start to expect everything on a plate without giving anything back in return; if this happens, you know you’re being taken for granted, and it has to stop. If you are not careful, then all that will be left will be the shell of your previous self. You are too good for that! You can only give people so many chances before it starts to drain you.
You are worth more than this user is giving you
You are a special person with unique skills and love to give to the right person. You deserve to be the most valuable thing in that special someone’s life, and you should be filled with praise and love each day for what you do. Never let them forget that!
It’s time to “take out the trash”
Leaving is not always the answer, but you deserve to be treated with respect. At all times. Period! Remember every time someone takes you for granted. They are teaching you to live without them! If anyone is making you feel worthless, it might be time to set sail and leave.
People will only use you if you let them
Remember, give someone an inch, and they will take a mile! People will only use you if you let them. Sometimes, it’s not clear you are being used until it’s too late. But believe it or not, life has a funny way of teaching us valuable lessons. And being used is one lesson you will not forget. It will not happen again if you know what to watch out for; life is a merry-go-round of lessons waiting to be learned. This is just one of them!
