Feeling constantly overburdened by demands?
The root of this feeling isn’t that others expect way too much—it’s your own insecurity convincing you that you owe everyone something. Prioritise yourself. You don’t need to earn approval with sacrifice. Set boundaries and focus on meeting your own needs first, ffs.
Always copping the short end of the stick?
You may be unconsciously trying to garner love by overcommitting yourself. Acknowledge your worth. Stop acting out of fear of rejection and give only what feels fair—relationships will only improve when you learn to value yourself.
Are your relationships one-sided, with you playing the caretaker?
You might be in a dynamic where you’re more of a parent than a partner. Draw the line. You deserve to be treated as an equal. Only when you respect yourself will others follow suit.
Feeling unworthy or unwanted?
That inferiority complex is driving you to overwork to gain favour. Shift your focus: work on self-acceptance and realise that everyone has flaws, including you. Boosting your confidence will lead to more balanced, fulfilling connections.
Is loneliness dragging you down when you’re left on your own?
Stop sinking into self-pity; use this time to hone your skills and passions. The more you invest in yourself, the more others will be drawn to your indomitable strength and spirit of independence.
