If you are someone who feels everything so deeply because your heart is just so big that it beats and breaks for all of humanity, this is for you. From being the friend that everyone goes to for advice, to being completely taken advantage of and walked all over, you have been through it all. You tend to put everyone else’s issues, needs, and emotions before your own because that is just the type of love that flows through your veins. Here are twelve signs that you have a big heart:

1. You bend over backwards without hesitation if anyone but asks you for a favor, or ten.

2. You give so much more than you get back, yet you continue to give 110% heart and soul because that is just who you are.

3. You absolutely cannot stand being on bad terms with anyone.

4. You are always the first to apologize, even though 99% of the time it is not your fault.

5. You cannot imagine hurting anyone as badly as you have been hurt by others.

6. You are the friend that everyone comes to when they need advice or a shoulder to cry on.

7. Everyone knows that you have an open heart and open arms and are always ready to embrace them and their troubles.

8. You are a good listener and genuinely want the best for everyone around you. People feel safe around you and trust your judgment.

9. You are the friend that everyone is incredibly lucky to have, however you are often taken for granted.

10. No matter how badly someone has hurt you or how distant you have become, you will always be there for them. No matter what.

11. You go out of your way to make sure no one ever feels unloved or unappreciated because you have been in their shoes before.

12. Once you care about someone, you always will.
