When did help stop feeling like help and start feeling like something I couldn’t function without?
Have you ever caught yourself asking the same question?

The first rule of masculinity is that nobody is coming to save you. The second is that nobody is coming to stop you. At some point every boy has to realise this and come to terms with it. And, that is how Men are made. Some boys never grow up and live in never never land.

Not sure how Women see it. But hope this is useful for you if you apply it yourself you'll see it's enormously empowering.

It crossed the line when it stopped being a choice and started feeling necessary.
Yes, people notice it, but most ignore it until it’s already a habit.
