“I was the easy one”
You:
- didn’t cause problems
- handled things yourself
- adapted quickly
And got praised for it.
What that teaches you
- your needs come second
- being “low maintenance” = being valued
- emotions should be managed privately
How it shows up now
- difficulty setting boundaries
- overextending
- feeling responsible for others
Strategy shift
Instead of:
👉 “What do they need?”
Pause and ask:
👉 “What do I need right now?”
This isn’t about becoming selfish.
It’s about becoming balanced.
