You are not responsible for another person’s expectations of you.

You are not responsible for what another person thinks about you.

You are not responsible for how another person behaves.

You are not responsible for getting someone to love you (or even like you.)

You are not responsible for helping, rescuing or saving anyone other than yourself.

You are not responsible for anyone’s happiness (or their emotional state.)

You are not responsible for how your boundaries make another person feel.

You are not responsible for being anyone another person wants you to be.
