Don't worry, you'll eventually get over your feelings of obligations towards others before you reach 40. Life becomes a lot less stressful once you stop giving a fuck about being a people-pleaser.
It changes one kind of stress for another in a lot of cases. If you annoy everyone you come into contact with, you end up alone, which isn't great for your mental health, and turns every interaction into an annoyance, so you end up stressed by the necessity of interacting with people you don't want to interact with. There is no escape from humanity when you are human.
