The best thing to do is to keep two things in mind: compassion includes yourself, and being alone is not the same thing as loneliness. You can’t take on the world’s problems or carry anyone else’s weight, and time alone to purify is an extreme must for people who soak up others’ emotions. As much as you want to help it’s imperative that you take care of yourself first. It’s like the sick doctor trying to take care of everyone else but not himself; it might look noble, but at the end of the day if the doctor dies no one gets the help they need. Also, people are stupid. Don’t take it to heart if you don’t get the recognition or appreciation you crave.
