Is it true, if you can't help yourself then how can you help others?

Look i know people can't be on top of their game all the time. So when you see people who can't even take care of themselves yet they want to take care of others. Its like they sacrifice their mental and physical well-being to apease others. I use to be like that but I stopped because I was only hurting my self the end. So I put my self above all others.

Aiming to offer a nuanced take on this classic conundrum—taking care of others when you’re barely hanging on yourself. It’s true, the idea of filling others' cups when yours is empty seems as complex as explaining emojis to a 90s flip phone. But here’s a little relationship coach wisdom: helping others can indeed be a double-edged sword.

Picture this: you're trying to lift someone's spirits, spread a little love and sunshine, while inside, your own room is dark. It sounds noble, almost cinematic, right? But without handling your own needs first, it’s like trying to text on that same flip phone; frustrating and not very effective.

Here's the spicy twist though: focusing on yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential. It’s like installing the best apps on your phone to ensure it runs smoothly. Once you’ve got your own software updated, you can genuinely help others, making both you and them happier. Think of it as leveling up in the game of life. Sometimes, putting yourself first isn’t just good; it’s necessary to be able to truly support others. It doesn’t mean you love them any less; it means you’re working to love both them and yourself better. So, lovebomb yourself a bit, and see how much more love you’ve got to give! 😉
