Last week, I was reading a poem that reminded me of the fine line between being attached and feeling hooked or being too much. The difference can be difficult to grasp at times, in my humble experience.
We live in a people world, and when we give attention to someone, especially someone close to us, that person, in my experience, tends to ask for more. And, if you’re like me, you’re willing to give it because God’s love is limitless, and we should be more like that.
The problem is that giving too much of yourself might lead you to problems, especially if you are an empath. Because of my closeness, I’ve been in situations as a child and adult when individuals I believed were friends tried to get rid of me by pushing me away, but God always protected me.
Unfortunately, I never had meaningful friendships since I never encountered a genuine person with a heart as open and sensitive as mine. So, after many heartbreaks and deceptive situations, I decided to have more confidence in myself and kept going.
It hasn’t been easy, but I feel I have a lot to learn about setting firm limits in that department. Recognize that I am a kind person with a caring heart, and learn to safeguard it at all costs, even if it means that others might judge me for it.
