I have a huge issue with becoming emotionally involved and attached to people where I always want to help them and make them feel better even when I know they are purposefully being destructive and do not take any steps to change their attitude, outlook, or actions. I become so frusturated and then feel guilty that either I cannot help them, they do not want my help, or I feel so exasperated that they take my help but only make changes that make them dependent on me that I end up not offering my help anymore and then feel guilty about not helping. But not helping is for my own sanity. I have plenty of issues on my own and am still helping/working with/listening/being there/etc. with so many others. It is exhausting. But, I have made a pact with myself now, to pick and choose the battles I want to fight for others. I am just to tired to do it all. And even for that statement I feel guilty. But somehow I am slowly able to erase the guilt with logic.
