I still have to take a moment and ask, is this something I really want to do? And ponder why the answer is yes or no. My husband has helped me become more comfortable saying no. Before him, I had some friends who took advantage of me. He helped me put perspective on it and separate people who need help, and people who want to be enabled. You're welcome!
Yes! I am such an empathizer, I typically reach out as a measure of sincerity, but I’m slowly learning that you can still be a nice and caring person and prioritize yourself! The relief is substantial!
