Is it normal for poor people to take advantage if you're too nice?

I've been betrayed too many times. I guess they are coming from a place of desperation, but why do they think they have access to my wealth just because I'm friendly with them?

    As a poor person I reckon rich people are much more inclined to take advantage of the poor than the other way round, or I probably wouldn't be poor

      Yep, that's why I do the bare minimum at work most times.

      actually , i know a lot of people that worked two and three jobs to get rich or be in a place or position to help someone and yet the poor never help anyone ever because they never have the resources by choice. thats how it works most of the time.

        And there are many many people who work more than one job and are still poor: there are also very rich people who don't work at all because they inherited their wealth and privilege.

        So poor people don't have the resources "by choice"? Yeah right, anyone can get rich and powerful, right? NOT

        In fact, in Australia some stats were done very recently which proved people on low incomes contribute far more proportionally than the rich, so there

    Yep, Remember God helps those who help themselves, rarely people do.

      I think that alot of poor people don't bother the rich for money much because most rich people won't help a poor person because they know if they do, the poor person would likely permanently glue themselves to them, so the poor will rarely even attempt to ask the rich person. They'll more often ask someone who has some money but isn't broke, like someone working class.

        True: when I worked in the city I was often approached by beggars and always gave some coins when I could afford it. I asked one regular bloke why he always asked me and not the obviously rich well dressed people, and he said "Oh those rich people hardly ever give money."

      Yeah right, I've noticed how much god helps the poor and the homeless NOT and I've noticed how many good people do help those worse off than themselves

    Us poor people we could be legit friendly you know..but I believe in that context of being poor and you rich that thought of association may come across..not necessarily money but connection too..so it doesn't mean that you shouldn't associate be friends with everyone and test the friendship.

      Ooo that's cheeky that. Not all women are like that. I certainly ain't. I've never asked for anything or took money to go shopping and get clothes a d want gifts. It ain't about all that. Yeah it would be nice to have enough money to be comfortable with. So you could go shopping for food and not have to calculate what you spend. But I wouldn't always ask other people for money. People ask me for money and if I've got it I will. Yet I struggle e to get by from week to week. The ones that ask all the time get on my nerves and take the piss because they get more money than me! So I've started saying I've not got it. I've got a few well off friends and not once have I ever asked them for anything or expected anything from them. They have money but they are not snobby with it. They are normal down to earth people not people who look down on us lower class people. I know a lot of women are gold diggers. I feel sorry for them, because surely it's some type of condition? They like to be lavished and looked after, go shopping etc. But are they really happy. My worst nightmare would be to be famous, or be royalty of some sort because I'd hate the life style. For some people, they like that life style. Each to their own.
      I've just realised I've gone off on a huge long rant. I'm so sorry haha!

    That's why we have a class system. Make friends with your equals instead of hired help who have no choice.
