To the people who said it was greedy, yeah right! Do you know what it feels like to be used? It's terrible! You feel that you have no worth in their eyes except what you can do for them. This is terrible for a person's self image. Which can lead to depression. Which can lead to other bad things including learned helplessness.
No, using isn't the way to go. I see why it would be good to give and not receive, but ST is not asking to receive is s/he? S/he just wants people to stop using them.
bah, nevermind, i can't explain it properly.
ST, I hope you have the strength to say No!

There was a time that I could have written this. But I got fed up and found friends who don't use me and will tell me if I am because they don't like seeing me being used.

I think that's a little greedy.
It's better to give than to receive, after all.
Try getting a journal or a blog of sorts. Make friends you'll never meet in real life-- they give wonderful, unbiased advice.
But I must concede that a little acknowledgment once in a while would probably be appreciated.

I agree completely... it might be nice to get recognition but that is terribly selfish... If you want recognition for doing something nice... then you aren't really doing it for someone else, you are doing it for yourself and the glory of it... We don't always think about it that way and we don't realize it... but its true. It can be frustrating but it is no reason to stop doing good...

I felt this way once, too. actually I still do sometimes. but I know they love me now, and I love them. I just had to show them what they were doing to me.
good luck!! <3

You just have to stand up for yourself and learn not to take other people's shit.
I'm trying to learn that right now too, and it's going ok.
I hope everything works out for you 
Be strong.
