I used to be a bit of a yes man. I was always there, always available and always putting everyone else first.
Not because I was some hero but because I thought thatās what filled my cup. Looking back now I can see it didnāt.
I just needed to feel like I was the guy people turned to.
And people saw that. Some appreciated it, others took it for granted.
Theyād come to me when they needed support, but when I was going through my own s**t, struggling to stay earth side and screaming out for helpā¦
Silence.
No messages. No check-ins. Nothing.
Iām not bitter about it, I guess it just opened my eyes.
So rather than just sit and get upset about it, I decided to change my approach. I set boundaries, I stopped being available all the time.
Most importantly I stopped pouring into people who wouldnāt do the same for me.
And if that offends you then hey thatās alright.
Iām just not that guy anymore.
