Always been the person to be there for everyone else. No matter what I went thru I pushed that aside to help the ones who couldn’t ever offer help me when I feel the same pain or in my opinion worse.. But what happens when I feel I need someone to be there? When I feel like I’m falling apart or becoming weak who other than myself can I talk too..clearly I know the answer to that, I just don’t want to believe it. So stressed out and wish that being my only friend and only comfort was enough. Sometimes it has been but that’s rare most days I just pretend it is while I know I’m falling apart I just let myself do so. . I hate feeling so alone. I hate that I’m there for everyone and no one is there back..

I know exactly what you are talking about. For years, I was always the protective friend out of all my friends. I found that when I needed people, they weren’t there for me. It broke my heart.
Seemingly, I cared more about them then I did for myself. I had to learn to love and care for myself before I could give the same to people. It isn’t easy. But you’ll see who your true friends are. They are the ones that will care for you when you need it, not just a give and take thing.
Make yourself feel loved and cared for before you try to take care of someone else. It doesn’t mean you stop being friends with that person, just when they say they need you, tell them to talk to someone else because you are dealing with something already.
Thank you, I Appreciate this. Your right in many ways, sometimes I just don’t want to love myself I would rather love other ppl.. I don’t want it to be about me But that really doesn’t go anywhere so yeah I should just focus on more me first. . So hard but Thank you again!
Youre correct in a lot of ways here, loving yourself is one of the most difficult things to do. It took me 2 years before I could look in the mirror and recognize myself again. I wish you the best of luck! I can tell you are very caring, and very nice, and I hope for you that someday, someone treats you the way you deserve to be treated.
