How much help is too much?
This question hits close to home for many of us. We all want to be there for our friends and family, but there comes a point where we need to step back.
Offering too much help can end up making them dependent on us, preventing them from learning to stand on their own.
It's all about finding that middle ground – being supportive without taking away their chance to learn and grow independently.
Today, let's explore the idea of figuring out when our help might be excessive, and whether it's causing any negative impacts on us or the person we're assisting. We've all been in situations where we give a lot without receiving the same in return. To handle this, we need to understand what genuine support truly means.
Always remember that there are times when you don't have to be the hero for everyone. Sometimes, it's important to take care of yourself first before reaching out to help others.
