It seems like the more I do for people, the less they appreciate it and just come to expect me to take care of everything. And this includes family.

Stop doing things for people who don't appreciate you /takes you for granted.

@Queendragonfly I know I should. Easier said than done.

@Mbingh01 . It's a practice. Start somewhere and go one day at a time. But don't stop caring or put up a wall against all people. Instead be selective who you say yes to.

@Mbingh01 Why? They sure don't seem to hold the same sentiments about you. I don't believe we're to cater to people who treat us rudely or wants to use us.

@Queendragonfly That's best advice!

@LadyGrace I understand where OP is coming from. If you've built your identity and value through being useful to others, you'll feel "Who am I?" without it. And it's a tough change.

@Queendragonfly True, that! And if you're a people pleaser, you'll lose yourself.
