Why do I grow everyone else but no one grows me?

You are the one everyone brings their half-formed ideas to. You explain the thing twice, calmly, and they leave better than they came. This has happened so often that it feels like your job, maybe your identity. No one assigned it to you. You simply kept saying yes, and now the school runs on it. Here is the part you have not wanted to look at: this was not done to you. You let it happen. Every time you solved it yourself instead of asking for help, you confirmed to everyone, including yourself, that you don't need developing. Generosity is not the problem. The problem is you mistook being needed for being cared for, and you never once said out loud what you actually need. This is not a complaint to carry alone. It is a thing to say to the people around you — your pod, your team, the one peer who could return the favor. Nothing changes until you name it where others can hear it.
