Is it possible to care too much?

I think I’ve figured it all out, that’s my weakness. I try to be there for others, get invested in them, try to make sure they’re ok, but they don’t make their intentions clear, maybe they’re just users, get what they want and off they pop. Lesson learnt, it’s not happening again, I’ll purge this weakness like every other I’ve ever had.

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

@Ilena I do try, and I do think I’ve gotten better at not getting too invested in people and their needs. It’s just I feel like I go from one extreme to the other, care too much or not at all.

@DHggmu I feel wasted if you want to hear my version but that's okay it means I'll find self appreciation elsewhere big deal.

@Ilena Yeah, I guess it just comes down to caring for the right people.

@DHggmu Think of yourself before. Then...the rest. If they deserve it.

@Ilena That’s something I’ve been working on, but I’ll be more careful in future.

@DHggmu Better. You're better off passing off as an introvert than a walk-over person if you know what I mean. Take care 🌹

@Ilena I understand completely. You take care too 🤗
