I’m always there for everyone… but I don’t think anyone is there for me

0 support1 reactions1 replies

I’m usually the person people come to when they have a problem. Friends, family, even colleagues sometimes. I listen, I try to understand, and I genuinely want to help. And I don’t mind doing that. But recently I’ve started noticing something. When I’m not okay, I don’t really have anyone I feel comfortable going to. It’s like people see me as the “sorted” one. The one who handles things. So no one really checks in on me the same way. Maybe it’s because I don’t show that side of myself much. I’ve always been the one who keeps things together. But still… it gets tiring. Sometimes I wish someone would just notice without me having to say it. That I’m not always okay either.

What the author wants right now

I just want to vent

Best replies here sound like: “That makes sense.” “That sounds exhausting.” “I can see why this hit hard.”

This happens more than people admit. When you’re always the one who listens and supports others, people just start assuming you’re fine all the time. Not because they don’t care… but because you’ve never shown them otherwise. I’ve been in the same situation, and honestly, it gets exhausting. At some point, I realised that if I don’t open up even a little, no one will know I need support too. People can’t read what we hide. Still figuring it out… but yeah, you’re definitely not the only one feeling this way.
