There is a common joke that's been floating around for a while now. It's made in such a way that if a person is trying to help their girlfriend/boyfriend they're called "a group of construction workers" or "Bob The Builder".
But to be fair, I appreciate the people who try and help other people because they are concerned about their well-being. Unfortunately, In today's generation, Everyone thinks that it's cool to not show your emotions. I party agree with this because a person should know where and when to show his/her emotions because being too emotional or being too emotionless won't work.
Now, Why was the joke originally made? It's because when someone is trying to help someone, They're trying to fix the person that they're trying to help and people relate that to construction workers hence the moniker Bob The Builder who was a construction worker in an animated show. But is it really our responsibility to "Fix" someone? Absolutely not.
There will be a point where a human being will get tired of trying to help someone out of a ditch they're in. The ditch is an issue or a certain problem another person is going through. There's only so much that a person can do before they give up as they will have exhausted their means or ways of helping someone they love before it starts taking a toll on them as well.
Two people in a relationship can always support each other to be the best version of themselves and grow together as people who are connected to each other through their souls, But they cannot fix other people as it's in the hands of the person in the ditch to get themselves out. A person might reach out to support them but they can't pull the other person out of the ditch by themselves. The load to bear is simply too heavy.
No one should be responsible for another person's mental health.
It is solely them who must be responsible.
