Why does everyone I know, Use me for Emotional support & then Leave me?

  • Thread Starter

Story of my life. A miserable one.

Everyone I know, whether its in real life or online friends etc, ALWAYS come to me when they need emotional support and advice.

I personally don't think I'm an expert at that since I'm only 22 and not even a therapist but everyone I know love the emotional support and advice I give to them because they like how I show that I care about them (even though they don't care about me) and I give them solutions or at least make them feel Happy and free-spirited again.

However as soon as they begin to flourish using the help I gave them, they quickly leave me and only return if they need help.

I'm a nice big-hearted person, although I'm naive/innocent I do have wisdom and the passion to help/care for others, and I know people like that about me, and want to take advantage of that and usually do.

However I feel so empty after they leave - like I just got used and not even appreciated enough to be held close by them. I never express this disappointment or else I will come across as demanding and I don't want that because I'm not demanding. I just like appreciation and reciprocation. Yet never receive it.

I guess this is a bit of a vent/rant rather than a question. However I do have two questions - why do people treat me like this? How do I improve my situation?

Thank you
