What I meant by 'it may not be the moon' is the fact that the moon is in Libra currently lol noticed that sentence could be confusing!

Last night I was super resentful, sad and isolating last night because of this! Now I can identify this as a feeling I have a lot; I'm always cheering everybody up and present for them. But who the hell is there for me when I'm in pain? I don't want to sound like a whiner, but I do feel like everyone's performing monkey when they need cheering up. But I just have to 'deal with' my own pain when I need consoling. My friends and family have said this, even though I'm ALWAYS trying to life them up when they're broken. I feel very unbalanced in this area of my life; I don't feel like it's very fair sometimes.

It's no secret Libras have to learn how to say"no".

The other thing is more than often, we've started it. We brought about those chain of events by offering to be there for people when, quite frankky, no help was needed. Or they would have been better off figuring it out themselves.

It's best to pinpoint our own self-interest in the matter. I've gradually gotten better at being factually honest in what I'm seeking out in others, and I'm also much better at not saying anything to people when they start to talk about problems more than they do solutions. It's at that point life is honestly hinting to you to stay out of it and let them figure it out for themselves.
This is absolutely true; we're born people pleasers. I'm glad you've learned to find your BALANCE in this matter. Oh Leebs and their balance 😛 you've done a great job recognizing certain behaviors that do not serve you or those you're helping all while resenting them! I just need to learn to speak up more; I certainly have a voice too! It's much better than sulking alone.
I actually completely ignored my extremely negative Virgo cousin's text to me yesterday. For a multitude of reasons. The first being, she always seeks pity and for me take her side. Second, she threw my Taurus sister under the bus, so I wasn't going to listen to that. And third, I was in NO mood to hear people bitching. She's so used to me listening to her whine about the world and talk about how everyone else is wrong, and I really just couldn't take it last night. And it felt great, not to give all of my energy to this negative person when I was already depleted emotionally; I didn't give in this time.
