Can’t Help.

Sadly that seems to be the end result as of late, help offered, is not accepted. I dunno, I suppose as some folks noted, I care too much, and maybe I should not be feeling odd that folks don’t want help, but in some cases, as of late, I feel like I am offending people by offering.

I dunno, it’s just one of those things anymore I think people wonder what “he gets out of it!?” but in the end, I am not asking for anything, sure sure, I’d love for one day maybe a hand down the road, but that goes on the whole “do unto others, as you’d have them do unto you” - but even then, I am not making any contracts here saying “I will offer you the following assistance - IN EXCHANGE - you will be my friend, be at my beck and call whenever I need you. I own you.”

I mean most times its something simple, a meal, a tank of gas, help on a project, but lately I feel like maybe I am being too nice? I dunno - I realize a lot of folks I interact with day-in-day-out are a tad stressed right now, but its like a wide range of folks, I still have the takers who no matter what/when/how/why - they’ll take help, and pull and pull to get every ounce of freebie they can - and to those folks I am learning to say “Sorry, I can only wing part 1 of your 37 part project” and that’s hard, but I just keep finding folks who are pushing the limits of my helpfulness.

But to each their own I suppose, if someone doesn’t WANT help, no way to give it, makes me tired. So - I am going to take a nap.
