I turned myself into a resource by always being available for whatever everyone else needed, sometimes they didn’t even have to ask. I can’t be angry at these people for leaning on me and never reciprocating my efforts, because I made myself useful. I’m still unlearning this, and letting people deal with their issues, while I deal with mine. It’s very eye opening to realize that perhaps the reason that people aren’t considering you, is because you fill every gap in their life, so obviously they will assume you have a stable life and that you’re managing without support, because you present yourself as the person who can take care of everything. I’m glad I never became resentful, because I didn’t view it as being transactional and expect people to jump through hoops for me in return.

People who compulsively care take like this were usually parentified in childhood so they had to take on adult responsibilities too early. They caretake others at the expense of their own well being

The more I focus on self love and development, the more important it is for me to consider myself.
