Sometimes i think

Sometimes I think I’m too nice. I love to make people feel good. I hate to make people hurt. I’m constantly making sure others are okay, that all is right with them and that they’re happy. I’m putting so much time and energy into others wants and needs, that I’m leaving mine at the bottom of the list. I’m rarely asked if I am doing okay, if anything is bothering me. It’s not something I expect, many of my relationships have become a one way street. I’m constantly giving and giving and getting nothing in return. I guess I’m easy to be taken advantage of. And it hurts. I do it to myself really. I care about others more than myself. I know that’s what we’re supposed to do, put others before ourselves, but I think it’s quite toxic. It’s okay to put my wants and interests above others sometimes. It’s okay to have my needs come first. But that is easier said than done, for a person who sometimes thinks they’re too nice.
