You Are Not Valued, You Are Just Too Available
Being nice is good but not always best. If you are a the reliable person in that click or workplace, think twice.
When you always show up, deliver, give your best and much more, others start to abuse it and rarely stop to appreciate it. Your dependability becomes a tool for their convenience, not proof of your value.
People use you because they know they can. They lean on you not out of gratitude but because you have availed yourself. Your reliability becomes an obvious expectation.
The more consistent you are, the more they take, and the less they give back. Over time, it is easy to feel drained, unnoticed, or even unwanted.
Being reliable makes one predictable, a weakness often preyed on by opportunists. They rely on your consistency to shield themselves from responsibility, to pass off their burdens, or to keep their own hands clean. You hang on the hope that one day everything you give counts for something, while quietly losing leverage and control. A perfect recipe for depression and mental discomforts.
One should learn that being reliable may be a virtue but when abused could slip into a trap.
While your reliability is very admirable, you should learn that people around you may start to exploit you and taking you effort, patience, and presence for granted.
Always remember that, it is the “bad people” who thrive, because they guard their space jealously.
