No one owes you anything
Everyone is responsible for their own emotions
I tend to easily see everyone's perspective and empathize
To the point of never really knowing how to feel or validate my own emotions and reactions
Because nothing is as personal as it seems
Projections of past experiences and insecurities can be in every interaction
But this can lead to going to far out of one's way to make others comfortable
Never having boundaries and neglecting one's own needs and desires
People pleasing/ being a doormat to a certain extent and not standing up for one's self
How do you find the balance?
Caring about others to do no harm but not caring what people think to the point of exhaustion
Taking responsibility of one's own emotions
but not the emotions of others so much that you carry the whole world on your shoulders
Being your most authentic self to help others and show it's just a part of the human experience to have struggles and that doesnt make you any less worthy of happiness, love, connection and success
But not opening up too much that you run the risk of that information being used against you
Everyone makes their own assumptions anyways
