Suffering by being helpful

A Twitter conversation.

one of the cool things about being known as a helpful person is you constantly have people showing up asking for favours and also another thing is they generally suck at helping you in return and also maybe your self esteem is dependent on you constantly being useful to others

And the reply, echoing and amplifying:

what do you MEAN if I derive my worth solely from being helpful I’ll end up overextending myself and ending up lacking the reciprocity necessary to sustain myself, are you implying I might have VALUE beyond “useful to others”???!!!!!

Why are they talking about me behind my back?
