Being with them when they need you, is quite a good thing.
That every true friend and partner needs to do.
I also know…
Every time you just left your very important work and go for them, when it’s their call, asking for Help.
Great one, but they’re not aware of the sacrifices, you’ve been doing for them.
You give them priorities above everything, even your time and any important work.
Which they don’t know about it. Or just choose to ignore it.
Ultimately, this will make them realize that… you are always free and have no other things to do.
I know, you have work to accomplish and priorities in life.
Not every time you need to give them full attention.
You also have some priorities, which again they don’t know.
So inform them, by setting some limits.
Don’t make yourself too available, because inner they start feeling like… You need them more.
Not everyone has the same feeling and respect for you, as you have for them.

In most relationships, the right persons are always taken for granted for too much available.
Remember, If someone calls you, and remembers you in need only, it means you are that one Handyman.
Because you have made yourself too available for your partner or someone else.
And they can’t think of you more than a man of all work.
So, don’t ignore such signs of being too available, and see Are they really respect and value your presence or not?
Well, when you always be with them, to solve their problems as if these are your life problems… chances are, they become too careless in life. And you’re the reason for that.
Let them take some challenges, let them learn something important in life, on their own.
Don’t try to be a superman for them. You are limited and doing a good job as a partner, a friend, or anyone.
Let them realize that themselves, be there only in case they fail to do so.
I know, this is kinda tough for you at first, and even for them, too.
But, look for the end consequences. It’ll make them confident about themselves.
When you stop being available, they get to know how valuable you’re.
That improves their confidence and certainly feel thankful for you, because you gave them TRUST, that “I can do it”.
They can have someone better or worse than you. But, will never have the one…”Just like YOU.”
6. Due to your easy availability, they will never realize how valuable you are.
Believe this or not, but you are making yourself too much available for them.
Of course, you are giving them relief by staying with them every time.
Supporting them and improving them regularly, feels good inside, that you are helping someone.
But, look for other consequences as well.
In the process to make someone feel special, you even forget to take care of yourself, isn’t it?
Really appreciate your efforts to put a light on someone’s life, but have you considered it for your own?
Remember some right people, will surely understand your presence and value your time, But not all.
Stop giving too much of yourself to others who don’t value you, let them feel your value by staying away sometimes.
This doesn’t mean to praise yourself and show pride to them, but don’t let them understand your actual worth.
Your too much availability eventually left no room to feel your absence.
And that’s why they have no idea how valuable you are. Also, don’t be too available for some time.
Let them understand your value, through your absence.
Let them figure out the challenges themselves, which you’re handling every time.
And that’ll result in respecting your presence.
From this point, when you start respecting your time, they also consider the same.
You don’t have to impress those, who value your presence right.
7. Because of your availability all time, they FEEL BORED in a relationship.
It’s good that likeable person who is together for a long period has to understand each other well.
But it’s not necessary, that a person has to know everything about another from the first phase.
And other people also need not reveal everything about own…especially when they are just met recently.
In most relationships, either person loses their excitement when they get to know about everything in a very short period.
Yes, that happens…in the early phase, when both are overly excited to know each other and spend a major time together. A fine thing indeed.
But, think about the other aspects too.
Being too available with them and of course, sharing most things (okay, means everything) about your past to them in the early relationship phase, you reach their highest level of excitement quickly.
Again remember, when you stay available around them, talking about your life all the time
…and they’ll start losing interest in your life, as it’s become very clear and quite easily available.
There comes a phase, when they just get feel bored with you, as nothing new you’ve for them.
I know…You’ve experienced that, right?
In order to keep relationship alive and exciting, you better control your emotions.
Prefer to convey your stories at the right time, with required pauses.
Don’t make yourself too available, also don’t open up too much… even if they don’t want to know everything in a short period of time.
Share information about you as the level of connections builds, just like a thriller movie.
You are unique, stay what you are. But, never change just to get someone’s approval.
8. Be less available and make them wonder about you.
Well, there comes a time when you feel like they have lost interest in you and feel no excitement in the relationship, as it was before.
Such are signs you’re being too available for someone, for no reason, at all.
As you have made yourself available too much and they gradually losing interest in you. That’s happening all the time.
Your always availability around the partner makes this relationship boring, without any reason.
Because you reveal not many things, but everything about you.
You have been spending too much time with them, talking and oversharing about your life…ultimately decreasing the excitement they carried when they met you for the first time.
Remember, to have those surprising elements to keep your relationship alive and refreshing always.
Learn about your relations and your partner. See what they like and what don’t, also don’t overlook to give them space.
Don’t be so hurry, take your time, and give them time also.
Don’t be too available, that they know everything about you, in a short span.
Remember, when they recognize there is nothing left to know more about you then, they will find you as a boring person to be with.
And, that’s because …You make yourself too much available for them.
You’ll be like a book, which they already read.
Totally agreed that… you care for them, you are respecting their presence in your life.
But, overall never be too much available for someone that has no equal value for you.
Please, don’t lose your identity, too. You are one of the rare people in this world.
No matter what, just never lose yourself.
