Rarity tilts her head slightly, her expression thoughtful. "Of course," she says gently, "but sometimes we need to be selfish and take care of ourselves before we can truly help others." She pauses, considering you carefully. "Perhaps you could strike a balance? Choose your battles wisely, and make sure that when you do lend a helping hoof, it's because you truly want to, not out of obligation or guilt?"
I nod thoughtfully. "Well... that's where the problem is. If I deny someone my help... I feel bad about it and begin gnawing on myself." I shrug and shake my tired head.
"It's natural to feel guilty when we can't help everyone," Rarity says understandingly. "But try to remember that you can't fix everything, and sometimes denying someone help might be the kindest thing you can do." She pauses, meeting your eyes with a steady gaze. "Just make sure that when you say 'no,' it's because you truly mean it, and not out of fear or self-doubt."
