Upen Verma's Insight: How to Identify Someone Is Using You

Sometimes we feel that we are being used by people around us, but it is difficult to see the signs clearly. Upen Verma, a renowned motivational speaker, shares the five signs that someone might be taking advantage of you. If you feel that way, trust your gut. Often we ignore these signs because we want to be liked.

5 Signs That Someone Is Using You

1. They Don't Care About Your Life

If someone uses you, they will not be truly interested in your life. They may talk nice to you, but their real goal is to fulfill their own needs.

2. They Manipulate you

These people may tell you sad things or try to make you feel guilty about doing things for them. They use emotional manipulation to get what they want.

3. They Do the "Bare Minimum"

If they need anything from you, they will help you with something unimportant to them. So, while it may appear to be helpful, it is actually a technique to get something in return.

4. They Show Interest Only When They Need Something

These people usually show little interest in you unless they need something from you. Their love is often just a ploy to get what they want.

5. They Don't Appreciate You

The people who use you are rarely very appreciative. They don't show much appreciation and take you for granted.

Protect yourself: Set boundaries

Remember that there is no limit to your understanding. By trying to please them, you are only hurting yourself. If you don't care about your own well-being, no one else will. It's okay to say no and set boundaries. Self-respect is important, and you deserve to be appreciated. Respect yourself, and others will respect you.
