Helping others can be a rewarding experience, but it's important to be mindful of your own well-being when doing so. If you find that someone you are trying to help is constantly bringing you down, it may be time to re-evaluate the relationship.

Pulling someone up who is always dragging you down can be emotionally draining and can even harm your own mental health. It's important to set boundaries and prioritize your own well-being, even if it means stepping back from the relationship.

Before deciding to help someone, it's important to consider whether they are willing and able to help themselves. If someone is constantly making excuses or not taking responsibility for their own actions, it may be difficult for you to make a meaningful difference in their life.

If you do decide to help someone, it's important to set clear expectations and boundaries. This means being honest about what you can and cannot do, and being firm in your boundaries when necessary.

Ultimately, it's important to remember that helping others should not come at the expense of your own well-being. By being mindful of your own needs and setting clear boundaries, you can continue to help others without sacrificing your own mental health and happiness.
