I suppose you're right. But after over 20+ years of giving and giving, you'd think some would've stuck around ya know? They leave and I'm left wondering why.
Forsure... Didn't mean to be a downer, that's just the most likely explanation I could think of. When I was younger and naive I did the same thing, thinking "they're just going through a rough time and need help". Spent 6 yrs with someone like that and when they finally started to grow tf up, they told ME "I can't hang out with you if you're going to be negative" simply cause I asked for a little compassion once.
The "real ones" are just hard to find I guess... you should try to surround yourself with people who are equally compassionate, anything less isn't really worth your time, at least not until you have your own healthy support network.
Is it normal to see oneself as a mere side character others lives?

They came to you because they had nothing to offer, that isn't going to change once they're 'healed'
