You sound like a people pleaser, nona. I'm like that too, and I consider this is a product of my childhood, my relationship with my parents and my school experiences. You eventually have to accept that people will get away with only doing the bare minimum that's expected of them, so when you do a lot of things for them when they aren't even asking for it, they'd initially hesitate to accept ypur help but they eventually will, because you don't mind helping or taking care of them. There has to be a healthy balance of putting yourself first, while also taking care of others. Don't ask me how though because I'm struggling to figure out myself!
I also feel attracted to emotionally unavailable people who don't appreciate me, and I have a feeling that it's a recreation of my relationship with my mom. She really loves magnifying my mistakes, which gave me the belief that nothing I do is ever enough.
I'm also a shut-in, lol.

It doesn't necessarily have to be only one though. I'm anxious-avoidant.
