- Thread starter RiverCity
- Start date
When someone starts doing the bare minimum, it didn’t start that week.
It started months earlier.
It’s usually the reliable ones.
The ones who don’t complain.The ones who quietly fix things.The ones everyone calls “safe hands”.
They don’t make noise.They don’t push back.They just carry on.
It starts small.
Someone leaves, so they help out.A deadline tightens, so they stay late.A gap appears, so they fill it.
Not because they’re told.
Because they care.
Because they’re capable.
Because they don’t like letting people down.
And slowly… that kindness becomes expectation.
They don’t get protected.They get depended on.
More responsibility.More pressure.Less acknowledgment.
No one notices the extra hours.No one asks if they’re okay.No one realizes they’re running on empty.
There’s no big breaking point.
Just a quiet one.
They stop sharing ideas.They stop volunteering.They stop bringing their whole self to work.
Not out of laziness.
Out of survival.
Because being dependable quietly turned into being taken for granted.
And something inside them learned:
“If I give more, I just lose more.”
So they pull back.
Not loudly.Not dramatically.
They just fade.
If this hit close to home, you’re not weak.
You’re weary of carrying more than your share.
