Honestly, I wouldn't call it idiotic at all -more like a classic case of being too kind for your own good. It takes self-awareness and maturity to reflect the way you did here. Helping someone you care about, even when it throws off your own plans, isn't stupidity -it's empathy. And learning how to balance that with your own needs is part of the process. Appreciate the honesty and relatability in this post. You handled it with a good mix of humor and reflection -we've all been there in one way or another
