Always There, Yet Alone
It’s strange how I’m always there for everyone, no matter the time, no matter the situation. I listen, I comfort, I give my all to help others feel seen and heard. But in the quiet moments when I need someone, when I reach out— it feels like I’m invisible.
I pour so much energy into being the person people lean on, yet when I look around, I’m left standing alone. It’s not that I expect anything in return, but it’s a hard pill to swallow when you realize that the people you’ve been there for seem to vanish when it’s your turn.
I wonder if anyone truly sees me, or if I’m just a placeholder for their convenience. Maybe it’s just a phase, or maybe this is just how it is sometimes. Either way, it’s a lonely place to be.
But I’ll keep showing up. That’s just who I am. Even if it means I have to be my own support when the world turns quiet.

I feel this so deeply, and I just want to say I see you. I hear you. And you’re not alone in this, even if it feels that way.
Being the strong one, the listener, the comforter it’s a beautiful thing, but it’s also exhausting when it starts to feel one-sided. You give so much of yourself, not because you expect anything in return, but because that’s who you are. And yet, when the silence settles in and no one reaches back, it hurts in a way that’s hard to put into words.
You deserve the same love and care you so freely give to others. Your feelings matter. You matter And even if some people fail to show up for you the way you’ve shown up for them, that doesn’t mean you’re invisible or unworthy of that same kindness. It just means you haven’t been surrounded by the right people yet people who will recognize your heart and hold space for you just like you do for them.
I hope you never stop being the kind and giving person you are, but I also hope you remember that it’s okay to set boundaries. It’s okay to save some of that love and energy for yourself. You don’t have to carry the world alone. And on the days when it feels like no one is there, please know that you are seen, you are valued, and you are enough.
@16peacefulBraveheart01 I’m deeply thankful for your help and encouragement. It’s made such a positive impact on me, and I’m truly grateful. 💖

Glad to hear that 😊
How do we ensure that we don’t run out of gas?
I just wanna say I share the same feeling as you.
Its a lonely place to be ,when you are always there for people and no one is truly there for you even the ones you thought would be ..
And honestly I know the feeling to keep tryna be there for people who needs you but no lies here, its gets very exhausting at times. So I think just a opinion and yes be there for people but certainly not to the point where you might lose yourself in order help a soul in need.
Don't let yourself get used as speaking from experience most of the people around will just violate your kindness or take advantage of it.
So be cautious.
And something that always helps me keep going is that I always feel that there's a better place and a better future for me ahead so if I just keep up a little more I will get there.. ( sorry sometimes I can be a little too much of a optimist. )
And don't feel too down friend. Afterall you are a nice guy..nice things will find a way to get to you :)
