RESPONSIBILTY:

~

Caretaking: the act of taking responsibility for other people while
neglecting responsibility for ourselves. When we instinctively feel
responsible for the feelings, thoughts, choices, problems, comfort,
and destiny of others, we are caretakers. We may believe, at an
unconscious level, that others are responsible for our happiness,
just as we’re responsible for theirs.

It’s a worthy goal to be a considerate, loving nurturing person. But
caretaking is neglecting ourselves to the point of feeling victimized.
Caretaking involves caring for others in ways that hamper them in
learning to take responsibility for themselves.

Caretaking doesn’t work. It hurts other people; it hurts us. People
get angry. They feel hurt, used, and victimized. So do we.

The kindest and most generous behavior we can choose is taking
responsibility for ourselves – for what we think, feel, want, and
need. The most beneficial act we can perform is to be true to
ourselves, and let others take responsibility for themselves.
