Overgiving Doesn’t Earn Respect—It Breeds Entitlement - A raw personal story of my vulnerability and pure authenticity - Don't try to help others! That's a sad world. I am sure that i'm TOO HUMAN NOW!

I’ve always led with my heart. Always believed that if I showed up with pure authenticity and vulnerability and integrity always 100%, if anyone doubts that you don't even know me, your lost in the clouds in your own narcissism i thought it would inspire others to do the same. I never held back—whether it was my struggles, my lessons, or my truth—I laid it all out, raw and real, thinking that people would respect and honor that openness.

I’m not different in a way that makes me wrong, I’m different in a way that makes me see.

And the more aware I am, the harder it is to ignore the contradictions, the hypocrisy, the way people deceive themselves and each other just to feel in control, just to belong. They don’t even realize they’re doing it. But I do. And that’s why it feels so heavy.

I wasn’t raised this way because I was never meant to follow the script. Not to conform, not to play along, but to see—and through seeing, to create something else. Something better.

But damn, it’s exhausting. I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE LESSON. THANK YOU.

The world is full of people who justify greed, who manipulate, who take more than they give. And when I come from a place of genuine care, it’s like I’m speaking a language most people don’t even understand.

So how do I balance it? I choose where to put my energy. I don’t have to play their games, but I also don’t have to carry their weight. I wasn’t made to fix the world alone—I’m just here to be in it without losing myself.

If I’m too human, it’s because I have the depth, the compassion, the presence that’s missing in so many others. That’s rare. That’s a gift. But it’s also a responsibility—to guard my energy, to choose who gets access to me, and to accept that some people will never understand me.

I don’t have to explain why I’m different. I just have to be—exactly as I am.

People just talk. I walk it. And that scares them.

They say they want truth, change, something real—but when they see someone actually living it, it shakes them. Makes them uncomfortable. Because it forces them to see the gap between what they say and what they do. And they don’t like that.

So they dismiss me. Misunderstand me. Try to twist it.

Not because I’m wrong, but because I make them face something they don’t want to see in themselves.

But that’s not my problem. That’s theirs. I’m not here to make them comfortable. I’m here to be real. To walk it, not just talk it. And the ones who get it? They’ll see me. The rest? They can stay lost in their own illusions.

Because most people are comfortable in their illusions.

They talk about change, truth, integrity—

but when they see someone actually living it, it shakes them. It forces them to confront their own contradictions, their own hypocrisy. And most people? They’re not ready for that.

Me walking it makes them uncomfortable because it exposes the gap between what they say and what they do. And instead of rising to meet me, they dismiss me, misunderstand me, maybe even turn against me. Not because I’m wrong, but because I make them see something they don’t want to face.

But that’s their battle, not mine. That’s not my weight to carry.

I’ll keep walking it. I’ll keep being real. The ones who are meant to walk alongside me? They’ll see me. They’ll respect it. The rest? Let them talk. That’s all they’ve ever known.

But what I’ve come to see is that in this world, people don’t always value what’s real. Instead of appreciation, I’ve been met with judgment. Instead of gratitude, I’ve seen entitlement. Instead of loyalty, I’ve watched people walk away as if none of it mattered. And that is a pain deeper than words.

I look at how I’ve shown up—unfiltered, genuine, more real than most would dare to be

and I wonder, am I even meant to be among them? Because what I see in return doesn’t feel human. I’ve given people opportunities, wisdom, access to something greater than themselves, and in return, I’ve watched them turn cold, indifferent, and disconnected. It makes me question everything. What kind of world is this, where the more you give, the more they take, without ever seeing you? If being human means playing a game, hiding behind masks, and pretending not to care, then maybe I was never one of them. Maybe I was never meant to be.

For a long time, I believed that generosity in business—especially within a community I built from the ground up—would be met with appreciation, collaboration, and loyalty. I thought that by offering access to opportunities at a fraction of their real value, I was doing something beneficial, something that would create mutual growth.

But here’s the hard truth I’ve come to learn: overgiving doesn’t earn respect—it breeds entitlement.

A Lesson in Value and Boundaries

I genuinely thought that by offering a better rate than I had in the past, it would help more people thrive. That lowering the barrier would lead to greater success for everyone. But the opposite happened.

And honestly? That’s sad.

When I charged $800 a month and up, I never faced this level of entitlement or lack of appreciation. I assumed that by making things more accessible, it would create more opportunities. Instead, what I’ve seen is that when something isn’t valued properly, it isn’t respected.

And I own that. I had to learn this lesson the hard way. I see now that in trying to create more opportunities, I unintentionally lowered the standard for how this space was valued.

I really believed this would lead to more people thriving, and realizing it didn’t—that hurts.

What This Experience Has Taught Me

💔 People don’t always appreciate what comes easily. I lowered the barrier, and instead of gratitude, I saw entitlement. Not from everyone, but enough to show me that people value what they invest in.

💔 Being generous doesn’t mean being limitless. I gave too much without boundaries, thinking it would inspire loyalty and success. Instead, it created imbalance.

💔 Not everyone will see what they have until it’s gone. Some people won’t realize the value of something until they no longer have access to it. And that’s just how it is.

Now Moving Forward with a Heavy Heart

I’ve learned that giving more doesn’t always mean receiving more in return. That’s a painful lesson, but one I needed.

🚨 I am raising my standards. The value of this space is real, and going forward, it will reflect that.

🚨 I am setting boundaries. I still want to help people, but I will not overextend myself for those who don’t see the worth.

🚨 I am grateful for this lesson, even if it hurts. It’s disappointing, but it’s also clarity. And clarity is a gift.

To those who have been here, who have shown up, who have truly valued this space—I see you, and I appreciate you. You are the reason I keep going.

And to those who didn’t see what was in front of them, who didn’t respect what they had? I wish you well. It’s unfortunate, but it’s a lesson for all of us.

This has been a difficult realization, but I walk forward with more wisdom, more awareness, and a deeper understanding of what truly matters.

And for that, I thank you all. much love
