Am I doing the right thing?

My career at the lovely night talk show is quite a success. People started to know my name, becoming fans on facebook, contacting me for different reasons; some have changed their attitude and becoming stronger. I’m so proud for that. However, I now starting to question myself if I am doing the right thing?

My fans are also starting to depend so much on me. They have tried to get my phone number from whoever they could ask. That includes my sisters, brother in law, boyfriend, sponsor, my staffs, and more. My family got called during work and late night for people needing help urgently. Who I am, to be able to help everybody? The purpose of my work at the show is to help people becoming an independent and strong person. In contrast, people are becoming weaker because they expect that I will be able to help them in whatever they need.

I now rethink and I need help to make decision. Shall I continue my work at the radio as a consultant? I have been an educator. Shall I be just an entertainer?

    The lack of privacy is the price to pay for being a celebrity. Now if you don't mind that, you should continue. By the way, what station and at what time is your talk show on? I would like to listen to your show whenever possible.

    If you are worry about people becoming weaker, you shouldn't. Think about all the positive results that you've accomplished. Before your show, they were hopeless. Now there is hope, knowing that you can help. Isn't that a good reason to continue the show?

    Pros.

    Not really. It comes with the territory. You should learn how to deal with it. Why don't you explain your issue to your audience in one of your shows and see how it turns out?

    Dear proskmeng

    the problem i always have is my fear of upseting other people and espcially those who are my fans. You know I even feel sometime afraid that my rejection make them feel much worse than the issue they had. I need to take class on how to say No. :-(

    I am feeling very very bad now. My dad is so angry of me not caring enough for my health. :-(

    Hi Nana,

    It sounds like you need to take the "assertive communication" class. Don't be sad, it is fun. If you are afraid you'll hurt your fan feelings, don't. There are nice ways of saying no.

    By the way, your dad is so right about you should take care of yourself. It makes sense that you help yourself first so that you can help other.

    Take care.
