12 Signs You're The Push-Over Friend
Mic Network

Everyone is a push-over sometimes, but when it seems like you're constantly doing things for other people, you may be the push-over friend. If you find yourself saying yes to everything without getting any thanks in return, there's a good chance that's become your role. If you're unsure here are some signs to check out.

1. You try to say no, but it never really works.

It's not like you want to do it, you just don't know how to say no.

2. You get guilted into things really easily.

If someone says please, you're done for.

3. You start doing things before people ask.

It's just become easier this way.

4. When a favor is brought up, you're automatically looked at.

It's pretty much assumed that no one else can do it, so it's got to be you.

5. You feel like your friends are more likely to describe you as "helpful" than anything else.

Basically, you don't have any other qualities, except doing stuff for people.

6. You're just kind of always doing things for other people.

Yeah, fine, okay, I'll do it.

7. You've learned to give yourself the appreciation you deserve.

Well, if no one else is gonna do it, you have to know your own worth.

8. You end up agreeing to plans you didn't even want to do

And not in the 'oh maybe I'll find a new interest' kind of way. You actually do things you know you don't like.

9. Paying for people has become a problem, and

Oh you don't have any money even though you buy starbucks everyday? That's fine, I got it.

10. You clean up after everybody

Well, no one else is gonna do it.

11. If you say "no" the first time, you won't stick to it.

It's okay, we've all been there.

12. All of your friends love you (but mostly because they don't have to lift a finger).

You really shouldn't have to do stuff for that though, remember that.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
