When you post something and all your mutuals just happen to go silent so you kinda wonder if it was something you said

I get the feeling I'm not good at anything. Everyone is just too polite to tell me otherwise. They don't want to see me or be around me. I'm too loud or too quiet. Too happy or too sad. To smart to some but too dumb for everyone else. Too childish. Too bossy. Too much
Why am I like this.

Sometimes I feel like everyone I lend a shoulder to is taking my sunlight, my rain, my oxygen. Making me wither.
Because I can’t use their shoulders, my head and my words are much too heavy.

I thought I didn’t have RSD until it was pointed out to me that I take things like a personal attack and that I’m super emotional. So I researched it again through this lens. This happened just a few days ago and now I can’t unsee it.
Unpacking my own neurodiversity is weird, even after all these years.

I feel suffocated by how much people need me
Why do people always seem to need me? What if I need me? I only have so much to give. Why can’t I have some space for personal joy?
The people I love go through a lot. They have a lot of physical, mental, cognitive and psychological challenges. It hurts my heart to see them struggle to get by, I want to help them.
But sometimes I give away everything and there is nothing left for me. It’s especially hard that there are several people I help who may not see what I’m doing to help people other than themselves. I don’t know how to set boundaries.
It’s very hard on occasions (like this one) that when I say I can’t help they say passive aggressive things along the lines of I don’t care about them, or I’m not good enough.
A lot of it is how I read it, but there is definitely some annoyance. I feel like I’m not enough and I’m going to break under this pressure.

SUGGESTION: Let go of trying to have it all.
ME: "but I want to: get my bachelor's/masters in business, and learn finance/investing, meditate daily, exercise...work long hours in order to be successful (because everything takes me longer), practice yoga/Tai chi, spend quality time with my 🐕 and family, have fun w/friends, clean/organize my house and office, always have laundry done, read 3 books, attend that webinar...WAIT 🛑
Did I eat today?
(Sigh) panic-overwhelm-fear of failure consumes
Screw it! I'll just sit on the couch half watching a movie and half spinning all the things I want/need to do in my head over and over and OVER. (fng guilt, I hate you!)

“do you take criticism well?” the interviewer asks me and i immediately respond with a hearty “yes” knowing full well that i don’t handle criticism well but i fear the criticism i will inevitably perceive from this stranger if i say no and so i lie through my teeth hoping to make it through this interaction without having an internal meltdown cause i’ve convinced myself if i don’t present myself as the perfect candidate this person will despise me (this is literally a minimum wage job)

The thing about always compulsively saying 'yes' is that it's easier. When you say no, people always expect a reason. And what are you meant to say? You either lie and come up with an excuse, or you say the truth, that you just don't feel like it, or you're burnout and things like that. Many people won't understand that and don't always take those as answers.
"Oh, you're tired? Me too! But I still really need this thing done." Is a common type of response. People who think that if they can handle it, you should too.
So when I say "Ah, sorry, I'm busy!" It's because I can't force myself to say no, and I don't want to say yes. It's the middle ground I have to use in order to not be so much a people pleaser.
And yet, the smaller things are still so hard. Because what seems easier when asked this question: "Can you open the window?"
A. "Oh, sure!"
B. "No, the sounds are too loud and the wind is blowing directly on my face and I hate it." Or other reasons.
It's easier to just do what people ask than actually say no. Sure, I can make excuses for some things, but not everything. And it sucks. Because it's clear as day that it's the quickest way out. Saying no means conversation and explanations that may just get ignored anyway. There are so many anxious thoughts involved with actions seen so simple to others.
I'm a compulsive yes-man. But people don't care about the fact every yes I say is a lie, because so long as they get what they want, my comfort doesn't matter.
