Caring.

'Some people care too much, I think it's called love' Winnie the Pooh

There are some qualities that are initially seen as an asset to your personality. Like anything, it can quickly become a weakness if used too much. For example alcohol. Many people become addicted to the substance. They crave it everywhere they go, they feel it even when it isn't there and it is always consuming their thoughts to a stage when it is all they can think about.

We all have to balance our inner qualities for without this balance you are sucked into an addiction that is hard to escape from. For me this asset that has become a weakness is caring. Up until now I didn't think that there was such thing as caring too much, but now I see the truth. For me, there are certain people who I can't help but worry about, think about them, check up on them and generally make sure they are doing okay.

When these people don't return my concern it is heartbreaking. Some people can't give you the same amount of attention that you give them and that is life.

So is it possible to care to much? Is it possible that the most compassionate side of you can become your weakness? From my experience I am going to say yes. However we can't let the fear of rejection or the fear of getting hurt take away pieces of ourselves, even when we could be the ultimate cause of our own destruction. How you act speaks of your character. So keep these weaknesses for this compassion in your heart makes you, you.
