The Problem with Overgiving
Most of us are taught early in life not to be selfish. We’re told to be kind, generous, helpful, considerate, and willing to show up for others. And in many ways, those are beautiful qualities. There’s nothing wrong with caring about people, supporting those you love, or being generous with your time, energy, and presence.
But there’s a difference between healthy selflessness and self-abandonment. Selflessness becomes unhealthy when it requires you to ignore your own needs, override your limits, or put your well-being at risk to keep proving that you care. That’s where many of us get caught. We give and give until there’s nothing left.
