Being so kind and protective like this. Is it out of a selfish desire to be useful, or do you think you’re doing the right thing?

Kindness and decency will only draw people who want to use you and drain you dry of that. So is that what you want? For people to break you down until there’s nothing left? Because it’s the right thing to do.
