Questions people ask
How can I tell if I am giving out of obligation?
Before you help someone, ask yourself one question: “Am I giving from compassion or obligation?” Pausing to ask it is awareness, noticing why you are about to give. If the answer is obligation, remember that kindness without boundaries leads to resentment, and keep it clear.
Are boundaries a part of real compassion?
Yes. Real compassion has clear boundaries. Kindness without boundaries leads to resentment. Keeping your limits clear is the skill of boundaries, and it is part of compassion, not a lack of it. It is how you can help others without hurting yourself.
How do I help others without hurting myself?
Care like a human, starting with yourself. Before you give, ask if it comes from compassion or obligation, and keep your boundaries clear. That is how you help others without hurting yourself. Treating yourself with the same care you give others is self-compassion. Your care for others does not leave you out.
