Like i own that place and other people are just serving me for the respect they owe me for me worrying for the better of them and mankind in general. It is difficult for me to get out of this forceful trap as i am conditioned to this existence, infact i am forced into this role by people in my family. Any advice on how do i get life for myself?

 Dear confusedsoul
I think what u need to do is to learn to accept the situation as it is, most importantly learn to separate your responsibilities for others and the responsibility you have to yourself. You might find that people in your family put you in the fore front because they know you possess a strong character to handle whatever the responsibilities you are entrusted with. Helping your family is part of getting a life for yourself as long as you are not neglecting yourself in the process. instead of seeing this as a problem you can tell them how you feel or you can pride yourself with the fact that you are there when your family need you.
