This is the key I think. Because if they really don't even want to take care of themselves (which seems to be when the urge to help them is at its strongest) then all the work you do is in vain anyway and only causes you to feel depleted. It actually doesn't do anything for them and serves to make you someone who is not so fun to be around (I am speaking about myself of course).

Ang, I care for you too .
