always being asked to do things and help , and no one is here for me
no
I enjoyed helping another person
The interface was a little clunky and took time to understand.

I am that friend that everyone can count on, I put everyone before me. But lately even though i volunteer to help, I have been feeling used and very angry.

So you are feeling kind of used by your friends and/or family?

Yes, very used and very angry.

I can understand how you feel, I have felt used at times by family and friends myself. Have you tried to talk to them about the situation? Does the possibility of the conversation give you an undue amount of anxiety?

It is like they could care less about what I need to do, they show up late to get their kids, or think nothing of running errands and not coming early. I have not said anything to them.

There may not be an alternative unfortunately. In order to avoid involuntary and messy conflict later you may need to have planned/structured conflict now.

I think it may be important to make sure you have an end goal in mind in order to have a chance to resolve the conflict in peace.
assistant

My end goal is to be respected. Perhaps I really need to have a conversation and see how that goes first,
