Get used to it. You're going to be robbed, either intellectually, emotionally, financially, or sexually. If you are reading this and you haven't been robbed already, consider yourself lucky. (and perhaps delusional)
I don't want to sound like an alarmist, because not everyone is bad. There are some really good people in the world, but at some point, we all intersect with someone who wants something which is ours: time, material goods, love, attention, money ... Sometimes we are able to protect ourselves, but (often when our guard is down) sometimes people just take what they want and leave.
Rude.
Have I done it? Probably. I have never robbed someone by breaking into their home or sticking a weapon in their face, but I'm sure I've wanted more than someone wanted to give to me. We're all human.
But here's the thing: empathy is crucial to the survival of a civilized society.
Don't be a dick.
