Original Advice

DONT: Don’t over-give to prove your compassion.

Stop Proving Compassion With Exhaustion

Stop bribing love with labor. You over-give to calm your anxiety and call it compassion. Your kindness turns into proof, receipts you clip to your worth. They feel helped; you feel emptied. You polish halos while your own sink. Generosity without edges becomes a disappearing act. If they only stay when you over-extend, they're not staying for you.

Over-giving distorts the math of intimacy. It teaches people to approach you for service, not connection. Exhaustion is not a love language. Compassion is presence, not performance. When you stop filling every silence with effort, truth appears: who checks on you, who adjusts, who vanishes. Let them carry their own bags. Your value is innate. Proof is for receipts, not relationships.

Cosmic Context
