Dont fall a victim to Emotional Blackmail

2 points by fumigatecvg 12y ago ↗ HN

Atleast its good to know that people across the globe are good, offer help to people in need. However its not a good feeling if you realize that you've been emotionally blackmailed.

Same piece of advise to my fellow HN pals. Some one might need your help describing how bad situation he is in and naturally you would do anything to help him, a piece of advise dont let your good-side dead, instead help people in a safe manner by being safe yourself in first place, like they say teach how to fish instead of feeding fish.

Being a judge never give any worth, probably OP in the OT was actually in need, yet agree with you, having your self-safety in first place is a good practice to follow.

Thanks for the writeup but people are getting smarter now, afterall we are living in 2013 now. Personally I dont see the need of this post, even I feel like my comment is also a waste.
