While many admire his generosity, content creator and activist Mr Macaroni has opened up about the burden that comes with always being there for others.
He revealed that he often puts others’ needs ahead of his own, even at the cost of his well-being.
“I have a certain level of responsibility. No matter what I’m going through, I cannot see the people around me in need and not find a way to help.
“It doesn’t matter what I am dealing with, it is inconsequential. I just have to make it work,” he said in an interview on The Untapped Show with Falz monitored by MyNewsGh.
Mr Macaroni reflected on how this mindset has shaped his life since 2021, recalling how people – even strangers – constantly reach out to him for assistance.
“Even people I don’t know still come to me for help. At one point, almost every day, it was ‘Giveaway this, giveaway that.’ And you know what? I still go send them money,” he admitted.
However, he acknowledged that always saying yes is not sustainable.
“Anyone watching me, you have to be able to say no. You must hold yourself accountable,” he advised.
The filmmaker also credited his family and close friends for helping him through his toughest moments.
“There was a time I just wanted everyone to leave me alone. I would ignore calls and messages. But my friends didn’t give up on me.
“They kept checking in, and those little moments of laughter and conversation held me together,” he shared.
