Whose life are you living?

A friend of mine grew up with four brothers, all of whom struggled with drug addictions. As a sister, she developed several negative behavior early. Behaviours only destructive for herself. To help check that she hasn't fallen back into a similar state, she asks herself this question every now and then:
"Whose life are you living right now?"

She double checks herself to make sure that she hasn't taken on someone elses life problems.

So I ask you that question:
-Whose life are you living?
-Whose feelings are you feeling?

You have to find the balance between living your own life and owning your own emotions, but still be able to show empathy to people around you. As long as empathy does not come at the expense of your own life, health and wellbeing.
