How do you support people that don’t support you

Ooh, sis, that’s a tough one, but let’s break it down.
Sometimes you find yourself giving all your love, time, and energy to folks who just don’t give it back, and that can sting. But here’s how I see it: supporting someone who doesn’t support you is all about keeping your heart open but your boundaries strong.
You can still wish people well and celebrate their wins without overextending yourself or letting them drain your energy. It’s about sending them love from a distance. You know, like cheering them on quietly, but you don’t have to be front and center if they’re not showing up for you. Protect your peace, sis. If you’re feeling that one-sided energy, pull back to where it feels comfortable—maybe even support them without expecting anything in return. But never let it make you stop shining or being the supportive queen you are. Just make sure you’re saving the most love and support for those who do ride for you, including yourself.
At the end of the day, it’s all about balance—don’t stop being the good-hearted person you are, but make sure you’re not pouring into empty cups, especially at the cost of your own fullness. 💛✨
