You can't help others unless you first look after yourself.
Don't place yourself at risk to help others.
Learn your worth and when others are taking the piss of your kind nature
I will help anyone, friends, family, strangers on the train but primary role is to look after my needs and those of my nearest and dearest. Example I was on a train with someone who was trying to get to the airport but got on the wrong train in the opposite direction. The train conductor told her to stay on the train until the next major city then go back to the original city and go to the airport. It would have taken her almost 2h. I helped her set up Uber on her phone and left her once it was on its way. Its a half hour drive. I would have liked to wait until she was in the taxi but I had to collect my daughter from school and I had to prioritise that over her. I swung back past the station on my way home and she wasn't there. I hope she made her flight.
My cousin dated a guy with a sad backstory, no family remaining used it as an excuse to not be around at Christmas and other holidays. They were just too painful to be around people. Blah blah. Lies all lies. He did have a family only his family were aware of his wife and kids and couldn't exactly introduce his mistress to them! He was also with his wife and kids at Christmas. Don't take things at face value!
