I can not say I ever have felt like I was a burden on anyone in general. I was driving by age sixteen, was out of the house and living on my own by the age of eighteen. Have had more friends and such depend on me, live with me and so forth than I have ever depending on them. They needed places to stay, jobs and so forth. No one has really had to take care of me except when I am sick and that is just the normal taking care of a sick person that we all go through. I guess one could say I may have over compensated in life to ensure I was never a burden on anyone.
On the other side, if I know some people wish to do something or whatever that I know damn well I can not do, would not do, or generally would be useless attending I will just excuse myself from going. I may go to the lake with friends and just sit around while they swim (yes I can swim, I just usually do not) and that does not bother me. Though if they wish to maybe go up to some of the waterfalls and so forth I often will excuse myself from going. They would be more than happy to tug me along up the trails but alas I feel it would be more of a burden for them to do so and it rarely would interest me enough to go through with it typically. I know when and if I would actually enjoy doing something and that is the key. If I enjoy it and they know I do then nobody feels as if it is a burden at all.
