Theyâre also adults, so they need to figure themselves out. Donât burn yourself out with their shenanigans.

I love your comment from yesterday I think, âdonât burn yourself out to keep others warm.â Iâm gonna steal it.

Iâve also seen it more dramatically stated as "donât set yourself on fire to keep others warm ".
It comes up a lot on the caregiving Reddit sub, there are way too many people who are manipulated into prioritizing other peopleâs needs above their own.

The one that really stuck with me was âYouâve kind of shot yourself in the foot there, can you please not bleed on my kitchen floor?â.
Youâre definitely doing the right thing by doing your best not to get pulled into the drama.

All good advice are lessons learned in the flames that chill, rather than burn.
It can apply to many differing situations, but the best thing you can do is look after yourself first and foremost. One cannot do anything for anyone else, if one is broken from lack of self-care.
