    The analogy that came into my mind whilst watching this is
    If you see someone with no hands on their steering wheel of life and you grab it to save them. Then who is steering yours?
    They may not crash but you certainly will at some point.
    Thank you Georgia!

    The "if you can't do it for yourself, do it for someone else" mindset has been pretty much hard wired into my brain for ages. I'm glad I saw this video lol

    I love the part you mentioned about waiting for the other person to ask for help. It got me to thinking about the person who needs help. Is there a video you covered on people who struggle with asking for help? Or the tendencies of a person who does everything on their own?

      I believe the word you are looking for is hyper-independence. It can be caused by trauma and trust issues. When people don’t ask for help it leads to overwhelm and depression

    Gonna be completely honest, I underestimated the sheer power behind the statement “I just don’t do that”.
    Me before trying it: 😒 whatever ill try it
    Me after trying it and it actually working: 😦

    I've been trying to learn to ask for help and say no to people for a while. My family (and other family's I know of French-Canadian origin) all tend to avoid confrontation thus never say "no" while also always jumping to the rescue when we just assume someone needs it so many of us grew up never needing to actually ask for help thus making it difficult and guilt-riddling in adulthood. I just sent this video to my mother and my "too nice" - as we call her and she calls herself - friend. This being "too nice" had landed us in many less than ideal, to put it kindly, interpersonal relationships.
    There's a very strong ideal to "treat others the way you want to be treated" to the point of self neglect within my circle. I've tried to start living by "treat others the way you want to be treated AND treat yourself the way you want others to treat themselves."

      yes it is a common thread on being too nice and then having to learn you have a right to say no and even if it just cause you dont want to is reason enough as well

    Thank you for this video. I just have awakened to the fact that I am a caretaker. My assignment from my therapist this week is to recognize and “stop” the caretaking. It’s a process she assures me. And this video was helpful!

    Laying in a hospital quietly letting nurses take care of everyone else while wasting away to nothing because the ones getting cared for keep convincing everyone the others are the parasite and you're above that.
    Being alone and independent for 18 years due to that stigma with no known origin while still suffering that stigma somehow.
    This video was hard to watch and I can't articulate why.
    I think the dynamics of this are extraordinarily perplexing and elusive.

    • @GeorgiaDow
      @GeorgiaDow  2 года назад +1

      I hope you are okay and know being cared for doesn't make you a parasite. You matter let people care for you and speak up if you have needs plz

      That was kind of you to reply. I usually just think out loud in these reply boxes hehe.
      I was particularly uplifted at the moment I received it, as it was quite unexpected and needed encouragement!
      Thank you ☺

    Grateful for these videos, just found your channel (movie analysis interests) but learning about caregiving (wondered where my hostility came from while doing for others) gave me lots to reflect on, looking up straight now. Thank you, Georgia.

    Such great advice, I just found out from my therapist that I’m a caregiver and I’m trying to learn everything that I can to stop. Thank you for sharing.

    I really needed this video because I’m naturally empathetic and have taken on this caretaker role. I often feel as if I’m drowning because of my lack of boundaries 😩! These were great tips, thank you!

    Love the videos, thank you for doing this. When the video keeps panning in then out it is somewhat distracting. Can I do something in my settings to stop this from happening?

    Love the intro message. But I think it works if it's the _last_ thing you do for others! ;) (j/k)
