Let It Be! 7 Types of People You Can NEVER Help!

When our efforts come to naught. Reaching out to others when they need our help ennobles us. It marks us as compassionate beings, which, in a group and as a society, is the most worthy goal. Where one person's strength lies, another's weakness can be healed. We complement each other, balance each other out and thus get through life in the best possible way without having to be perfect.

There are people who find it extremely difficult to ask for help. Then there are those who can't take a step on their own and constantly need someone to hold their hand and maneuver them through their daily lives. In between, there are some people for whom any help would be a waste of time and energy. It sounds harsh, but we have listed these types of people for you in this article, then you will understand what we mean.

1. The dishonest.

Helping people you can't trust may quickly turn into a boomerang that falls straight on your head. The dishonest always play their game. They continue to pursue this goal even after you have helped them out of a bind. The problem with dishonest people is, they will walk over dead bodies if it serves their purposes. Not only will your help not be appreciated, no, it can even be turned into the opposite and dragged through the mud, if a dishonest person benefits from it. Dishonest people should be avoided wholesale. Every step in their shadow can become just another towards a certain fiasco.

2. The negative ones.

People who cast other people and everything around them exclusively in a negative light will not appreciate even your willingness to help. Chronic naysayers always turn good into bad. In the best case, you will be given a bad name for your help; in the worst case, you will be accused of evil or even criminal intentions. Those who have created their own world of envy, hatred, resentment and frustration will not tolerate a ray of sunshine in it. Building one's empire on a destructive mindset is a sure guarantee for having to make one's way through this life alone.

3. The eternal victims.

Trying to help someone who, in the final analysis, does not want to be helped, would indeed be a futile labor of love. The eternal victims don't want help any more than they want a solution to their problems. The only thing that interests them is to remain in their state of chronic dissatisfaction. For them, this is the only comfort zone they have ever known.

If someone were to come along and offer them help out of their dilemma, they would actually have to come to terms with real life and realize that it also has its beautiful sides. But those who want to remain entrenched in suffering have no interest in further development. Offering help to the eternal victims would be like depriving them of their livelihood. They would suddenly be a person without identity and would probably not recognize themselves.

So you wouldn't be doing them any favors. Nevertheless, it is naturally difficult for us to watch how many people dig their own graves every day. They are wasting their precious lives by preferring to remain trapped in artificial drama, which is really their sanctuary and their safe cocoon.

4. The quitters.

Again, the situation is hopeless from the start. Trying to help someone who is used to throwing everything away at the slightest resistance or the first small obstacle is hopeless. There are the born quitters among us, they like to see themselves as losers, but that would mean that they had at least seriously tried to play.

From childhood on, someone else has to pull the irons from the for them, carry the gym bag behind them and tie their shoelaces. Unfortunately, this does not change in adulthood. They fail with every project because sooner or later quote-unquote “bad people” always come along the way who expect performance from them or want to see a result. They are neither able nor willing to do that. Helping them would be like pouring water into a bottomless pit.

5. The unpredictable.

Lack of money, addiction problems, aggression, or just not being compatible with other people: The unpredictable occasionally insist that we help them out of their self-made jam, and that's exactly what we should refrain from doing at all costs. Once you're on their personal speed dial for help in all situations, you won't be able to get out of it anytime soon.

Fatally, you become part of the roller coaster ride that these people understand life to be. Helping the wrong people can have unpleasant consequences for us, possibly even in court.

6. The desperate.

If there is one bad motivator, one bad counselor, and one bad bargaining chip in life, it is despair. Nothing good has ever come from it, on the contrary. It is people on the edge of this condition who would need our help the most, but beware! Someone who no longer has much to lose does not take into account his surroundings, even if they extend a helping hand to him.

The desperate know how to make us feel sorry for them, but unfortunately, this kind of person is also willing to do anything just to get what they want. The next moment they would stab us in the back without batting an eye. They do not respect boundaries, nor do they have any inhibitions about abusing our generosity, time and energy.

7. The self-righteous.

Aside from the fact that few groups of people make it harder for us to like them and stand up for them than the self-righteous: What would be the result? We could expect neither thanks nor in the future an easier coexistence with these toxic and chronically begrudging people. The self-righteous know everything better, are experts on everything and allow no one to exist beside them on an equal footing.

Doing them a favor can make them gracious only for a short time. But it can also be interpreted as a sign of weakness, which will direct their displeasure all the more against the helping hand, not against themselves. Those who believe themselves to be omniscient and float through life with their heads held high in this misguided belief cannot do much with outside help. After all, it would be a sure sign that someone is not as perfect as he would like to be.

Today’s Conclusion:

Don't do it. As you can see, these seven types of people are character types that are not easy to deal with even under the best of circumstances. If they then find themselves in a situation where help could be interpreted as weakness, there is no stopping them. It certainly speaks well of you if you do not let other people down. But self-protection must always be a priority in your life.
