Being “the responsible one” or “the peacemaker” in childhood often shapes adult stress patterns. Have you ever realized your family role still influences your mental state today?
Family roles play a vital part in shaping our lives. The way our lives turn out is as a result of the orientation and the nature of the responsibility we shoulder. As adults, we should not play down on lifestyle and roles.
I have felt that growing up as the “responsible one” makes me overthink and carry extra mental load. Even now, I feel obligated to solve problems for others, which sometimes increases stress and affects my ability to relax or prioritize myself.
