Dear Q:

I read both your initial posts and I’d like to respond to both here.

“he started to cry and told me that he’s trying so hard to be better because of me. That I’m his inspiration… why can’t I accept and take this as a compliment?… I feel like I’m always helping everyone else. I want someone to be there for me to the same extent and with the same understanding that I give.”-

Maybe, just maybe this role of taking care of others started early on in your life, maybe taking care of a parent so that he/ she will be able (once helped enough, once strong enough) to take care of you..?

And you got really good at helping others.. yet the reward (being helped back) didn’t reach you yet?

Being the person with all the answers, can sometimes make it difficult to find someone who can give you the answers that you need.
But, if you need a friend who can listen and at times give you (some bad and some worse) advice then you have found the right place.
I can’t say that we won’t judge you but we won’t turn you away.
