I don't know if I should call myself naive or just plain stupid. I have a very big problem when people ask me for help, I can barely say NO... You are probably not going to consider this a problem but for me it has been a problem and still is.
I use to work for a web design company (for the last 2 and a half years) and I so much like to help others when they have problems even without them asking. So, when they ask for help by themselves I can not refuse. This I count as myself being stupid. For all the time I wasted, yes W-A-S-T-E-D. I should have used my precious time for myself and doing so much more constructive things...
You might think I am a bad person thinking that way but when you have done all this only to be kicked in your ass then you are going to tell me the opposite. Some people are just like this and I can't change it. You help them, they enjoy everything but when it's their turn to help you they'll just turn their back at you. Sad but true. So that's about me being stupid. Something that I will try to change about myself. (noted and working on it)
Naivety is my speciality. Another sad but true story. I guess stupidity and naivety goes well together so I have both traits. I feel bad about myself now that I think back about those days where I was believing blindly in everything people say (most precisely my ex boss). He is such an a**hole (sorry about the expression) to lie to employees like that. Unfortunately that was my first job and my first time in the working world. I really loved my job but it's just that the boss was just abusing and making us work more than needed and damn I was SO underpaid! Oh well, I've taken a lot of lessons out of this situation. I am still a bit naive but definitely I am improving on this side too.
Lesson learned: Helping others is good but there is a limit, same goes for job. Know where is the limit.
