I have someone in my life who constantly comes to me for advice. I listen, I think things through with them, and I genuinely try to help. The problem is… they never take my advice.They’ll ask me what I think, I’ll take my time to really respond… and then they go and do the exact opposite. And somehow, we end up right back in the same situation again.
It’s not even about them not taking my advice anymore it’s how it makes me feel. Like my time doesn’t matter. Like my input means nothing. Like I’m just there to absorb everything and help them feel better in the moment, only for it to repeat all over again.
I also don’t think it’s fair to keep pouring energy into someone who doesn’t actually value what I’m saying.
