Hi First name / friend!
Ok let me share this with you real quick - there is a difference between loads and burdens. A load is the work that is on our plate, that is our responsibility, our thing. A burden though, is a special circumstance that you cannot carry on your own.
Think of it like this - your load is like your knapsack - and you won't be able to carry your own if you keep taking things out of peoples' knapsacks. People have to carry their own loads.
BUT. Community exists to help shoulder one another's burdens, the boulders that just cannot be carried alone.
I found this to be a super helpful distinction that is helping me set better boundaries. I hope this helps you too.
Such love for you all.
