Why do I care about others more than myself?

[Anonymous]

Like it almost seems like I forget I’m a person too and I matter. Like im always looking to make others happy when I’m not happy myself. Does anyone know what I mean or have you dealt with this? How’d you stop?

Extremely strict upbringing may have caused you to fear being yourself.

But I can't tell for sure. Maybe some form of therapy is needed.

Yeah I’m like this too. Now I just have to keep reminding myself that I have to take care of myself because nobody else will.

Yeah you gotta learn to say no. Try to set boundaries.

You are a very compassionate human being.
