Sometimes, we need to sit quietly with ourselves and ask a difficult question:
“
This question can reveal a lot about the relationships in our lives.
Are people there when we need them, or only when they need us? Do they appreciate our presence, our feelings, and our heart—or mainly the things we do for them?
Sometimes, we give so much of ourselves that people become comfortable receiving. We are always available, always helping, always understanding. But the moment we step back or say “no,” their behaviour changes.
That can be painful, but it can also be revealing.
Your value should never depend on how useful you are to someone else. You deserve to be appreciated not only for what you do, but for who you are.
So ask yourself:
If I stopped giving, helping, fixing, and always being available, who would still choose to stay?
The answer may not always be easy—but sometimes, knowing the truth is the beginning of knowing your own worth.
You are a person, not a service. You deserve relationships where you are valued, respected, and loved—even when you have nothing to give.

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me what the Gita Teaches About Human Expectations
ReplyDeleteMost people in the material world approach relationships with hidden expectations or personal utility. They draw close when they need support and distance themselves when the utility changes.
If your self-worth depends on people appreciating your heart, presence, or feelings, you invite constant disappointment.
Lord Krishna urges detachment from how others react or reward your kindness.
Give love, care, and support because it is your pure nature to do so, not to extract a receipt of appreciation from the other person. When human beings fail to value your feelings, the Bhagavad Gita reminds you that the Divine resides within your heart, witnessing your silent struggles and offering unconditional acceptance that human relationships cannot match. Stay blessed. Radhe Radhe..
Very deep and relatable
