E Wanting to be more responsible is admirable. 36 However, if you keep at it, it will become second nature to you! Here are some tips.

It also shows you value them. For instance, always put your keys on the table when you come in the door, so you know where they are. Do things without being asked. Doing just the things you are asked to do is responsible. But to show that you can care for yourself and others, you need to do things before you’re asked. That shows you are responsible enough to see what needs to be done. 39 Don’t just leave it for someone else to do. Do it yourself. Place others’ needs before your own.
