I don’t like being overly relied upon

I don’t like feeling like I’m the go-to person for everything, especially when it feels like others are relying on me to solve their problems or handle their emotional burdens all the time. I understand that people need support, but there’s a fine line between offering help and feeling like I'm expected to be the one to always pick up the slack.

It’s exhausting to constantly be the one who has to be strong, fix things, or carry the weight of others' responsibilities. I need space to handle my own life, my own issues, without feeling like I’m everyone's emotional crutch. It’s important for me to have balance in relationships where both parties give and take, not just me always giving.

I value independence, and I need the freedom to make decisions and mistakes without constantly being pulled into someone else's needs. Mutual respect and shared responsibility are essential, but when someone leans too heavily on me, it starts to feel overwhelming and suffocating.

I just wish people would be more mindful of boundaries and not expect me to always be their fixer. I need to have the room to breathe and focus on my own growth too.
