I'm so sorry you're feeling this way and being treated like that. I absolutely relate to what you're saying and the feeling is crushing. It's really hard when everyone around you just takes and takes and takes until you're left with nothing left to give. You can't pour from an empty cup.
It's hard to exist in a world where you're the one caring about everyone else or being used yourself while everyone else is only in it for themselves. And I believe most people these days are in it for themselves before anything else. There's a select few of people like us and it seems that we all end up feeling the same. It's not much to ask to be seen, heard and recognized. But for the majority of people out there, stepping out of their own shit to do that for someone is an impossible task. It seems as though everyone has forgotten the one rule we all learned as kids: "treat people the way you want to be treated." It really shows the state that humanity is in these days and it's frightening and disgusting.
Keep being true to yourself. If you're being treated this way, you are likely an extremely good person. The world needs more of you, and I'm grateful that you're still here. A person like you is hard to find and a true hidden gem. It's a blessing and a curse, but I see you.
