I truly do hate to admit that my sub is right. I have an issue with wanting to fix others. Every time my friends have an issue I want to be the first one to help fix it for them. But you can’t always fix people. Sometimes they don’t even want help. And I have to learn that. I have to remind myself to mind my own damn business and stop trying to fix everyone around me. It’s not my responsibility to fix them but their own. But despite this I can’t help it. It’s part of who I am as a person.. wanting to fix others and help them become the best version of themselves. This desire is normally very selfless but there’s times when it’s very selfish as I can get something out of it. So now I have to tell myself to butt out and let this person deal with their own problem. After all, I have my own issues as well that I normally push aside in order to help others... so I might need a hobby or maybe meditate so I can stop wanting to butt in.. because I very much want to! I have dealt with this person’s issues before and I really want to help but they don’t need my help or want it and it’s driving me insane since I really really want to butt in.
So calm thoughts, calm thoughts. It is NOT my responsibility to fix others and I should NOT help them unless they ask for help.
For any else having this same problem of helping others remember to repeat the mantra I just made “It’s NOT my responsibility to fix others”
