I'm willing to listen to someone else's problems and offer them solutions but when they ask if I'm okay I usually don't talk about my problems because I don't want to burden them with my problems
I get that. It's really hard sometimes when you feel like a burden to those who love you. But if you let that build up and something happens to you, you will hurt those people a lot more. Trust me, you are not a burden to people who love you.
I didn’t see this video until now, however as a very empathetic person in therapy…I do want to share something. Be careful with empathy…it is a double edged sword. I’m not saying not to be empathetic…in my case I go to the extreme of taking on others burdens because it hurts me to see them hurt. I then bottle it…I’ve been in therapy 15 years and it wasn’t till this that I understood where my panic attacks were coming from. While your intentions are pure make sure you have a way to release them
