Caring too much backfires! / myLot

I think I should take some time off and focus on myself. I worry about people close to me too much. That backfires. I think its best to let them be who they are. Have you ever had a situation where you cared for people a lot and they ended up ignoring you?

I care too much for my family and my there friends.One of them comes from a rich family; and another is a lower middle class young man.But the third one is very poor.This third one loves me very much.He cares for me too much.He is the one I care for the most.

@Dreamerby I have not met him - my third and the poor friend - for more than 15 days.He doesn't even have a mobile so that I can talk to him.Tomorrow I'll go to his home.

This happens to most Indian housewives and I am one of them.

Haven't experienced it but I am sure it's a difficult situation to experience.

It's possible to care too much about others. We all need to take care of ourselves as well.

There are times when I worry about others too much and ignore my own feelings. Have a good day.

I have been there many times

. I still worry about others, but I cannot allow that to consume my life. I have my own worries . . . and I cannot ignore myself . . . so it is in my best interest to focus on "me".
