I’m really trying to keep it together but I feel like I’ve reached my breaking point

I’m so tired of people not understanding that I’m an empath and be involved in certain situations. Why does protecting my peace such an issue for anyone. I do so much and it’s never reciprocated in the same manner. When I say I feel used people wanna get offended. Take responsibility for how you treat people and make them feel. I’m cutting everyone in my life off, I can’t deal with anymore stress
