Why do people suddenly treat me like their emotional rant sponge?

[Anonymous]

I have now turned to an emotional sponge for many now.
It's just I was the one ranting to everyone.
I stopped it, started being good in my skin and with my life, made peace with all my issues cause I don't have any energy to fix it. Basically I gave up.
So I also stopped ranting as no matter what I do I was going to get rejected
But now after 2-3 months, I have people calling me up when they are sad, depressed, broken for advice or just to rant and hope I'll patiently listen, these people where not the one I ranted to.
Or have any big connection, only thing is I have just a lot of experience getting rejected or getting hurt.
Now i am getting bombarded with text saying she did this/he did this/my life falling apart.
I just got my peace guys don't ruin it, I finally accepted that I am going to live all alone, a virgin and a bit distance from society.

Up can make the changes if you want…

but if you are going to accept getting nothing that’s what will be.
you decide。

I didn’t decide to be a single mom… it happened… I decided to be not weak… I raised the 2 kids to be strong … and that’s who they are now!! At 17 and 19… they are succeeding in life!

Because you are saving them from paying a therapist by listening to their drama. Learn to say no.

I did say no to them. But it's still the same, they end up in a bad mood

You did it to yourself.

Because you allow it
