I would say that I am the master of the soft touch.. seem that I find myself being suck in to things that I would rather not do simple b/c I sm such a softy. I don't know if there is cure for this or not but I am forever searching for it. I hope that things get better. Just know that there are other who really understand what you are feeling. Hugs Janet
I think that you have to be happy. Is helping others making you happy or making you sad? Is it a problem, like are you lending out your rent money and then not having enough for yourself? If that's the case that you are helping others to your own detriment then you need to stop, if not then help but don't be taken advantage of. Only you know how much you can live with. Once the helping starts making you unhappy then stop. It will be hard the first time you have to say no to someone but eventually it should get easier.
As for being the only soft touch out there - no you are not. I actually sit here feeling guilty sometimes that I'm not in a position to help those I know need help - how crazy is that?! Of course, I've also been taken advantage of because I've helped others but at the end of the day I can look in the mirror because I know that I did the right thing by helping someone else no matter how they treated me in return.
