When your too damn kind where you end up going broke

Omg anyone know how i can stop being nice? like im too generous where i just give a lot of stuff away here are examples...

 

10k is nothing lmao

 

Tell them "u don't get everything u want." These people seem really selfish. Don't let them take advantage of u.
My motto is no mercy. If u want to do it in a nice manor, then say "only if u pay me back" or something like that. Or just tell them that u don't want them to ask for stuff. This has happened to me so many times so I just learn to say no I guess.

The person in the screenshots literally can't take a hint .-. It makes me sad.

 

Idk, maybe it's just me but it feels like he's being abusive.

 

i'll try saying no more often other wise i'll have players using me.

 

Can I have some money?
Lel jk

 

I actually got a little pissed about that guy sorry. Just so greedy... Apologizes if I sound rude. But I can't stand people who keep asking for more even if they did get heaps of stuff already.
You really should've been strict and say no. I know I have almost 3 million on skyblock 2, and sometimes I do give players 10k, but if they keep asking, I will have to say no sometime. If you don't say no, you'll probably have no items or money in the future. But hey, at least your showing kindness ^-^

 

True, its hard to say no. I give people stuff in skyblock and cash ;-;

 

I often give stuff to people, once, after I gave some heads, he asked like 1oo heads of me in total. When I gave them all, he asked for more and I said no. Then he started being rude to me and saying shit. lesson: humans are shit.

 

same

 

*cough* Taking kindness for granted *cough*

 

I do this a lot, too, trust me, I know it's hard to say "no" sometimes.

But please, understand that sometimes, people can really take advantage of you. If you keep giving them stuff, they'll always expect you to keep giving them more and more until you don't have anymore left. Especially on minigames such as Skyblock.

I understand that you're being kind and I'm sure everyone appreciates that and looks up to you as an inspiration to be kind, even to those you don't know well. But, people like that only look out for themselves, and if you really don't want to give away your stuff, don't do it. Be honest and tell them that you really don't want to give away your stuff or just simply say "No, sorry". I know that it may feel bad telling them no at first, but trust me. You worked hard for those items and people like that are just flat out greedy. They can get it on their own. You don't deserve to feel like you have to give it to them.

If you need any further help or advice, please feel free to PM me. I hope that all of us have helped, and please, don't feel afraid to stand up for yourself. Even if they beg or say please, those are your items and if you don't want to give them away, that's your decision, and if they can't handle that, then shame on them.

Good luck c:

 

Here's some tips to avoid being begged for free items:
1. Don't go to spawn in full diamond, gold, or any armor for that matter.
2. Try not to announce that you are rich in chat, or that you have a lot of diamonds etc.
3. Don't host any drop parties. If some people see you giving out free stuff they'll likely end up begging you for more, this applies to giving someone free stuff in all chat too.

Something I tend to do, may seem a bit rude, but in my honest opinion, begging someone for free stuff is just plain rude. Usually I tend to tell people that beg me to "Stop begging for free stuff and earn it like everyone else". I might even at times tell them how, like tell them to make a cactus farm, and sell the cactus to make easy money etc.

If you find it hard saying no, you could try re-wording it if you like as well. Here's an Example:

Player: "OMG can i has free diamonds, money and spawners?!?!?!?!?"
You: "sorry, but no. I earned these myself, and you should too. you can make easy money if you make a cactus farm and sell cactus"

If the player then harasses you or keeps begging you can report it if it gets out of hand. IE they start spamming you about it, saying you're selfish etc.

Hope this helps, I feel like I can be too nice at times too, but sometimes, you've got to put your foot down, and not let people walk all over you.
