You Place Others Needs Before Your Own

Always being known as the dependable one is a double-edged sword. On one hand, everyone relies on you and that sense of responsibility can be comforting. On the other hand, you can quickly be taken advantage of when you’re in this role because your own needs are placed on the back-burner.

The key is to find a comfortable balance that allows you to be there for others without it being at the expense of yourself. Perhaps you could allot a certain period of time to help others before you focus all your attention on yourself.
