I'm losing patience fixing everyone's broken devices. What now?

You can fix almost any device, which is a genuinely useful gift. But there is a weariness that comes from being the person everyone brings their broken things to, year after year. Your patience wearing thin does not mean you have lost your skill or your kindness. It means you have been giving a lot, and giving has a cost. Part of what drains you is that the fixing never ends, and often the thanks are thin. When a talent becomes an expectation, it stops feeling like a gift and starts feeling like a duty you never agreed to. That shift is worth naming, because it is the real source of the tiredness, not the work itself. You are allowed to protect your energy. Choose where your help goes on purpose rather than saying yes by reflex. It is fine to say not right now, or to teach someone to fix their own instead of fixing it for them. Guard your patience like the finite thing it is, so the skill you are proud of does not turn into something you resent.
