What if my nature is bad for me?

I feel like it's in my nature to be helpful. But often people will take advantage of this. So at some point, some people will use me too much and I become unwilling to help them anymore. This causes problems for both parties - they feel I'm being mean now but I feel terrible too because I WANT to help but am tired of being used and lied to.

I don't know what to do about this.

@DaveMarx having such a big heart is both a blessing and a curse. I understand how hard it is, but we need to be able to say no to people to set out own boundries, for our own health. I know it feels bad and it's really hard, but just remember you can't help everyone you are trying your best and that's more than good enough 💖💖 gives you a giant tiny hug 💗 please look after yourself💖

@DaveMarx It's really important to draw boundaries when necessary. That doesn't make you selfish of you feel drainedÂ
