For Those Who Give Too Much

If you constantly give—your time, energy, health, or peace—you need to hear this: giving everything doesn’t always earn respect or gratitude. People often take what you offer for granted. Many will use you and then move on. Everyone is disposable after they’ve taken what they need.

It hurts. It frustrates. It can make you feel invisible, undervalued, even replaceable. But this isn’t a sign to keep sacrificing yourself—it’s a signal to change how you operate.

Here’s how you can overcome it:

1. Set boundaries – Decide what you will and won’t do for others. Saying “no” isn’t selfish; it’s essential.

2. Protect your health and time – Don’t give so much that you break yourself. Your energy is a limited resource. Guard it.

3. Recognize your worth – Your value isn’t measured by how much you give, but by how well you care for yourself.

4. Choose who deserves you – Some people will appreciate you. Some will discard you. Learn to invest in the former, release the latter.

5. Build yourself first – Prioritize rest, growth, and healing. Only then can you give without losing yourself.

Remember: protecting yourself doesn’t make you cold—it makes you wise. Stop giving blindly. Start giving intentionally. Respect yourself enough to refuse being disposable.

When you do, you’ll find freedom, balance, and people who actually see your worth.
