A young woman has stirred conversation online after advising people not to prioritise their family above themselves.
The lady, known as Amber on X (formerly Twitter), shared a personal experience that made her reach this conclusion. According to her, her own family almost made her useless, although she did not go into details.
In her words, Amber wrote: “Whatever you are doing in life please don’t consider family first because mine almost rendered me useless. I know what have been going through this past months. Always look after yourself first and do the little you can for your family. Good morning ❤️.”
Her post quickly attracted reactions, with many agreeing and others opposing her view. One user, Topzack, disagreed, saying her statement was too general.
He replied: “You generalizing and making it seem everyone’s family are possibly like yours is where the issues at, for those who still got good ones to hold unto? Do not listen to this! Good morning to you Amber and I hope you someday find peace from the hurt your own family’s done to you.”
Amber stood by her opinion, explaining: “I believe most of us experience even more but don’t have a way to voice out. I understand how you feel about my opinion but it is just how I feel.”
After seeing her response, Topzack softened his stand and said: “Ma’am you strongly do have a point and in no way do I have any right to invalidate that, and it wasn’t my intention to, cause you are the one who knows what you’re facing w them, and like did say earlier, I hope you do find peace someday about the hurt they’ve caused you in one way or the other.”
... has since continued to spark mixed reactions, with many sharing their own experiences about family and self-care.
