Is it possible to care too much?

It is but guard yourself on that. It might happen again because humans deceive easily, but you'll recover faster from experience.

Your kindness won't be for naught.

I know it can feel like that sometimes for caring people.

But, one day you will have your reward.

Although that shouldn't be the reason why we do it, just for our day of rest.

It needs to come from our heart.

I understand how hard it is for a good person to not become bitter.

Its a hard balance for sure. Im a very caring person but since i dont have my own emotional stability down fully I often give more than I can handle....and im sure unintentionally to someone else I am taking more than im giving emotionally with one my friends. Hard balance for sure.

After some of my past I have gotten better at determining when im letting people use me and some of my behaviors even cause them to be able to im finding out. Always work on improving yourself in the ways you want to but dont loose yourself or how you want to be as well trying to change. Best of luck!

I see it more as caring for the wrong people. Never give up that part of yourself. Just learn to be more discerning about who gets to experience that wonderful quality in you. And hopefully what’s happened in the past can serve as a valuable lesson.

Been there done that....many times over.
A really hard lesson to learn.
Some people only want you around while you're giving them what they need at that moment in time. If their need changes, or they feel you are becoming ( what they perceive as) too attached..... they pull away, make out youre being clingy and put you on a back burner....or ghost ya.
Yup.

Aw you have a caring heart.
But yes there are many who use others to fill their voids. So yes it's smart to protect yourself. It can cause us to lose some of that softness, toughen a bit, but we need it in this world.

YES! This has been me all my life and my only rewards were being cheated on, used, and thrown to the curb.

I think it's not you being a caring person its because people weren't worthy , I can't believe I let some people in the past questioning my genuine kind feelings and see it as weakness or stupidity while the real reason was them 🤦🏻‍♀️.. just be careful about who you really care about and are they really worthy?

It is possible to care too much when people take advantage of it like you already said. Caring is a major part of what makes us human and by helping others we feel more human.

Sure. I do. I push people away/keep them at a distance so I don't get shit on.

I live in hope that my kindness is passed on.

Yes it is. 😢 Sometimes we care so much about others that we take their problems on for them.

Yes I’ve been burned that way in the past
