Not that I haven't been bullied, but it's extra frustrating when someone is asking for help, and I have to try to figure out if they genuinely need help, or are just trying to screw me over.
No wonder some people are so cynical about life. Best I can figure, don't give handouts to people you don't know, unless you're ok with not getting anything back from it.
I get this as well. This really gets on my nerves because I really want to be a nice person and help people out. I've definitely cut down a lot on lending a hand to people after so many have taken advantage of me. It makes me feel terrible to turn my back on people, but I have so little to give anymore after the others ruined it.
