The problem with putting other people first, is that you have taught them that you come second, or third, but never first.
And that is how they have come to accept you and your existence.
Happily they always put themselves first. Sometimes they will even be offended and upset that you decide that you want to be put first in your own life for once.

And after all this time they will never put you first, because they like you being second. They are now comfortable with who you are in their lives.
That is also why they get upset when you try to become first, or when you try to improve your life and yourself. Breaking away from this is often the only way to show them that you can come first on your own.

A person will never respect themself as long as they give other people permission to put them last. Change is inevitable, so please make the biggest change in your own life self improvement, courage and self respect. Put your needs before other people’s wants.
