How do you feel towards broken people? I feel sorry for them but if they aren’t trying to fix themselves then they probably don’t need me in their

Life, I feel as if they will just hold me back if I try to help them.

I don't judge but I don't want their problems be my problems too. There are various ways of being broken and I'm not going to pretend that I know more than I really do. I openly say that I don't understand and can't empathize with certain problems or disorders some people have but I'm also not going to give them shit for who they are or tell them how to live their life. I just know that if their behaviour has potential to harm me, I want to distance myself. If I can't help myself with certain things, I'm not going to pretend I could help someone else with theirs.
