I’m tired of being responsible for others happiness

It’s SUCH a responsibility, overwhelming and hard, yet exceedingly rewarding. Keep em happy, keep everyone happy. Show them love and strength, void of personal wants, a machine of positivity. ITS EXHAUSTING. Make sure THEY have a good day, THEY feel loved, wanted, needed...safe. Shoulder their worries, fight their demons, be their buffer for the world. I have no energy left. I’ve lost the drive that gets me through the day. I’m tired of being the deciding factor. It’s daunting. Why can’t I be them and they take a turn!

Cut them off. Who gives a fuck about their pathetic excuse feelings. That's what I did
It's not easy at first but it's easy to get use to it.

@FreestyleArt If it were that easy for me I’d do it. It’s always more complicated than it seems

Uh...you've got this wrong.

Nobody is responsible for my happiness except me. I choose whether to be happy or not. I choose whether to be unhappy. For me to place the responsibility for my happiness on someone else's shoulders is completely selfish and inappropriate.
