Allright I don't know about you guys but alot of times I swollow my pride and take very big personal dives to help out a friend..

And just about every time they turn their backs on me.

I allways end up getting screwed when I try help people..

I don't know if I have bad luck or just bad friends..

How often does the outcome of situations you put yourself in jusitfy the actions you took?

I'm just wondering .. I can't be the only person who gets screwed over alot.

This kind of thing happens to everyone. However, I disagree with knuck on this one: don't stop trying. Yes, you will get bastards in your life, but every so often you will meet someone truly grateful, and it will truly be worth it.

Just never stop taking chances. Sometimes they pay off...

Depends on the people you surround yourself with...if they're ending up like that...not really your friends to begin with (depending on what the sacrifice or whatever is needed, that is)...if it's high school related, I could possibly see a little problem sometimes in that area if it's some sort of popularity thing...but even then...

I just assume that whoever I'm around...that when I need help from them...they will if they can...just I would for them...and who knows...maybe it's just bad luck in general...but don't sway yourself from being a good person to yourself and by yourself; you don't have to be an asshole just because the majority of the population seems to be so...least that's what I think.

For me, Machiavelli's statement holds true about 30% of the time.

I'm flying to America, spending upwards of 1500 grand to get there and certainly a lot more once I get there, to go and see my friends in San Diego. I took a year off before university to work and take this trip. I'm putting myself in a foreign country for 3 months. I'd better be damn well sure that the ends is damn well worth all this time and money and work...
