Are you the hero for others or are you the sort who always needs a hero?

[DishLady]

Someone pointed out to me that i'm a hero... always strong and several other things that I'm sure they meant as a compliment... but even as I politely thanked them a part of me was rather sad.

Why sad? I thought about how nice it would be to HAVE a hero on my side rather than just always having to be the one to step up to a challenge. It would be nice to have some down time with a "partner in crime" who has my back would be so cool.

For now, though, constantly carrying on as if nothing was bothersome about it at all. Most days it's fine, but some days... 🤷🏻‍♀️

What about you guys and gals?

I'm always the hero --> helping people out of some mess or challenge.

I'm usually the hero --> but i face a lot of challenges of my own... would be nice to HAVE a hero sometimes.

I always need a hero --> I'm kind of the helpless sort of person and things are always catching me off guard

In my family, I am usually the one who recognizes a problem and takes action. I am president of two organizations so I am widely acknowledged as a leader. I don't know if anyone considers me to be a hero, but at least they think of me as a man of action.

I am usually the hero because I like to give and help others’ from the kindness of my heart , but unfortunately some people take advantage of that and expect more than they deserve. , so I now only give to people that I care about , that I know care about me and give back the same in return. When i constantly give without receiving , that’s usually my answer to walk the other way. I am over people taking me for granted especially girls’

Always, but those days have passed meci guess. I couldn't save my sister. Im crippled up in need of knee replacement. Back in the day, 20 years ago i was.

Once a hero always a hero. You did save her from being alone when she needed her hero.

According to my wife I'm her hero, not because I'm like someone from a story book or comic, it's because I take care of her, and protect her.

[DishLady]

Yes, that's something that I'll always argue every woman needs.

[worldscolide]

Agreed

I don't know if I'd be considered a "hero". What I will say is that I think I'm well put-together, if you will. I'll ask for help, prayers, or support if I need it.

i’m a hero, but I also wanna turn to somebody. That’s powerful in case I get hit hard. I need back up in life somebody to turn to

[Likes2drive]

I’m usually the one helping everyone else but no one helps me out when I have problems

If I were physically stronger, I could be a hero more but I'm usually the one who needs one.

I would call myself more like an anti hero.

[Cidknee]

What exactly does that mean? That you are the heros nemesis? 😅

[DishLady]

Lol. Why?

[rgb008]

I am everyone’s hero
