Ugh, I didn't read the whole story or comments, I was just pondering this the other day....again... people usually say to put others before yourself, and other people say to put yourself first, because no one else will.. I tend to agree with the latter.
YOU are the most important person in your life. If you can't help yourself, how do you expect to help others?? Once you get your own shit together, thats the best way to help others. How can anyone truly help someone else before they know shit about their true self?????
If you are constantly putting other people first and expecting to receive the same treatment then it's a quick road to disappointment and general unhappiness.
You don't have to put others first to make them happy - when you're happy, you'll make those people around you happy.
Treat others the way you want to be treated. When you show kindness to other people they will pass it along; the more good you do the more everyone is kind to everyone else.
It isn't just about making people happy,being a good person is the most important thing.
There's a difference between being respectful and generally civil and going out of your way to ensure the needs of others are met.
I'm not saying don't be civil - you should always treat others with the respect they give you. But there's much more to consider when it comes to putting someone before yourself.
Being a good person is nice, but be too good of a person and people will walk all over you.
I want to become a good person but the advice online is bs.

I'm just fine though, so I don't have to focus on me.
