Some people have a fantastic ability to make us feel indebted to them. If they believe they're owed and we can play some part in satisfying them, then they'll stick to us like glue to a blanket. Of course, we have a choice surrounding how helpful we want to be, especially if we're not convinced we owe them in any way. Offer your help to someone in need of it, but don't allow yourself to become a scapegoat. You can set the limits to which you assist.
