I think I am the friend who gives everything and gets crumbs back

0 support0 reactions2 replies
I'm the one who remembers birthdays, checks in, shows up, drops everything when someone needs me. But when I'm drowning, the silence is deafening. I don't want to keep score, but I'm so tired of being everyone's safe place while having none of my own. How do you stop over-giving without becoming cold?

A short reply is enough. People usually need to feel understood before they need advice.

I do not have advice, just solidarity. Sometimes being witnessed is the whole medicine. I see you and I am glad you are still here.

I have lived a version of this. The guilt is loud now, but the self-respect outlasts it. Give it a little time and you will see.
