You’re not needy.
You’re not too much.
You’ve just been taught that love means leaving yourself behind.
But here’s the truth: Love doesn’t require you to disappear.
Here are 5 signs it’s happening:
- You forget your needs the moment you care about someone.
When you love someone, you lose track of your own needs, placing theirs first. - You shape-shift to be who they need, not who you are.
You lose your authentic self in the name of fitting into someone else’s idea of you. - You fear that saying no will make you lose them.
You’re so afraid of rejection that you abandon your truth to keep the peace. - You give more when what you truly need is to receive.
Giving becomes your default, even when you’re running on empty. - You confuse being loved with proving your worth.
You think love is something you earn, rather than something that’s simply given.
🌿 The real issue? You learned love through survival. Through pleasing, proving, perfecting.
But here’s what you need to hear: You don’t need to sacrifice your soul to be held.
You can stay in love without abandoning yourself.
You can give from a place of wholeness, not depletion.
