Overcompetence

Have you ever been so good at what you do that you somehow ended up with all the work? At the office, everyone needs you to proofread the documents before they go to the client.  At home, everyone asks you where to find things. Or how to book a dentist appointment.  You're the safety net, the problem solver, the one who ensures things don't fall apart. And, while you feel good about how competent you are, you resent that the people around you aren't operating on the same level.  You don't want to be responsible for it all. And yet, if you step back, things might actually go wrong. If this sounds like you, you may have fallen into the overcompetence trap.
