I can definitely identify with what you wrote. This line in particular stood out to me:
I can't bear to see a person suffering. I guess I give my trust to people very easily or empathize with them when they come to me with their problems.
I am the same way. As for what one should do after he gives his all to people who only end up stabbing him in the back later...I had to deal with that recently actually, causing the end of what I believed was a good friendship (turns out it was fake after all). It was painful but we move on with our lives and don't allow such pain to change who we are or diminish the light that we bring into the world.
Because the world needs more loving and caring people in it today, it needs people like you who will readily give his all to help those in need. Even when our efforts go unappreciated or we end up getitng used and abused and walked all over by people who we have helped. What's important to remember is at least we did our part and tried to help alleviate someone else's stresses and troubles in life.
That said, it's also important to put yourself first, of course. Realize that your needs and the needs of your family come first, and you shouldn't feel bad if someone comes to you for help and you find that you can't help them because you have to focus on your family's wellbeing first. It's ok to say no, something that took me 28 years and a very toxic relationship to finally learn.
Idk why I commented, I just thought I might throw my 2 cents in. :P Hope someone out there is able to find some value in this.
Hey bro. Well your 2 cents were well worth it in my opinion. I am always doing what I can to put myself first but sometimes it is hard to do especially when you see someone suffering a lot.
I know what you mean. Up until very recently I was the exact opposite, I always put others before me even when it was harmful to my own personal wellbeing, because I hate to see other people suffering. But recently I came to the realization that what I really need to do if I truly want to help people, is help myself first get to a position in life where I actually can afford to help others in any way that I can without it being detrimental to other parts of my own life. So that's what I'm doing now, that's why I'm on Steemit, that's why I'm investing in cryptocurrencies, etc. :)
