Are there positive and negative consequences for being too loyal?

Are there positive and negative consequences for being too loyal?

Loyalty and being loyal seem like good things. Being a loyal person can have the ability to make people happy, but people need to ask themselves will loyalty always bring a positive sequence? Most people think that being loyal is a good thing, not many people think about the negative consequences that come with being too loyal.

When you are loyal to someone it means you are going to make them happy, by  being honest, loving and respecting them. When you respect someone they will respect you. When being honest to a person it means that you can trust them and that they respect you.  When you love someone and you are loyal to them it makes life easier because you don't have to worry. When being loyal there are a ton of benefits. The feeling is mutual in mostly every situation when you are loyal. That is the positive consequence when you are too loyal.

If you are really loyal and someone does something that's not right, you wouldn't do anything about it because you are to loyal. Why wouldn't you do anything about it? You wouldn't do anything about it because you trust that the other person is doing it for a good cause, but really the person is probably hurting someone or doing something bad. That's why being to loyal can have a negative consequence.

If you said something to someone and you hurt them you would feel like your disloyal, but when really your just being loyal, because when being loyal it means you are just being honest.  Being loyal has so many different views. There is a lot of different meanings behind the word loyal. So when saying something to hurt someone you are just being loyal because you are being honest. Not many people think of it that way, that's why people say a lot of bad things before they think about it. For the meaning of  loyalty you really have to think before doing something because it could come back to haunt you, so that is another negative consequence for being too loyal.

While loyalty is good it has a bad side. However its not what loyalty is but what you make of it, so you can choose how you want it to effect you. Whether it is positive or negative.
