I think everyone does it at one time or another. You over do. I'm one of those foolish people who hates to say "no" unless I have to.

I always find time to listen to others, be there when I can for others. I don't have a pot or window so can't do financial for people but my time is theirs if they need it. The thing is a few people too many lately have been tapping me and I'm just about tapped out.

Funny how the guy who can listen to anyone hates to open up himself, but I am a bit stressed and tired. I've had a cold and tried to rest but a few people can't take a gentle hint and I don't usually have the heart to just say "Go the hell away."

There are some people who are so gentle you don't mind helping and others you want to just talk to. However there are still others who only seem to take and take and take. These are the ones who never let you recharge or give back to you. Tonight I finally had to tell one goodbye. It isn't that he is a bad person it is the fact he is always in crisis, wants to tell you his problems, but doesn't care if you are sick and really can't concentrate on him. When push comes to shove, sorry I still have myself to worry about and I can't let you take me down if you don't want to try to save yourself.

I needed to vent a bit. Sorry if you got stuck reading it.
