“They Don’t Love You – They Just Use You: 6 Hidden Signs”

Intro:

Ever felt like someone only comes around when they need something? Whether it's a friend, partner, or even a family member — being used hurts. These are clear signs you're being taken advantage of — and how to take your power back.

7 Signs You’re Being Used:

 

1. They Only Text When They Need Something
   No check-ins, no “how are you?” — just requests.

2. You're Always Helping Them, But They Never Help You
   Friendship or love should be mutual, not one-sided.

3. They Disappear When You’re Struggling
   But suddenly reappear when you’re okay again.

4. You Feel Emotionally Drained After Interacting With Them
   That’s your gut warning you.

5. They Guilt-Trip You Into Doing Things
   Using emotional manipulation to get their way.

6. They Never Celebrate Your Wins
   Jealous or just uninterested in your growth?

7. You’re Afraid to Say “No” to Them
   Because you fear losing them — that’s a power imbalance.

   What You Can Do:

   • Set boundaries. It’s not rude — it’s self-respect.

   • Stop giving your time/energy to one-way relationships.

   • Surround yourself with people who pour into you too.

   • Remember: You teach people how to treat you.
