We get this way when we grow up around people that blame others for their struggles. Since we are often one of the only people in the room, we intuit that their happiness is our responsibility. It's really that sad/simple, sadly.
Be well

Many of us learned to deny our feelings when it wasn't safe to share them as a child. We found ways not to feel with distraction, caring for others, or #addiction to habits or drugs. #Recovery includes learning to stay with our #feelings. #codependency #grief #anger #sober #healing #mentalhealth

Interdependent Relationship!

To feel free in an interdependent relationship is the goal of recovery. It requires autonomy, self-esteem, and boundaries.

My Lady stood within an arch
and wore her weighty crown of stone.
She gave her hand and I embarked
on a great quest I should have known.

Codependency sucks. It feels like this and worse. But Love takes my hand and calls me to lay down the sword pointed at my own heart. No one asked me to punish myself when I cause the people who love me grief or hurt. #codependency #recovery #furry #werewolf #healingart

The flip side to someone putting you on a pedestal as their savior is that when things go wrong it’s also all your fault.

you are their joy=you are their pain

Brutally efficient, ‘A Trail of Blood’ is a great title of realistic psychological horror centered on the relation between a mom and her son.

The Dark Side of Altruism (ep 320) Julie discusses the four social instincts and how they are represented in the political sphere. Then she talks about the three disadvantages of altruism, including waste, codependency, and social games. Social games are played by political people where they pretend to be the rescuers and have to have others to be the victims.

Stop People Pleasing: Why Your “Niceness” Is Actually Self-Betrayal Everyone thinks you’re so nice. But what if your "niceness" is actually a survival tactic you're using against yourself? This episode is for anyone who has ever said "yes" when they were screaming "no" on the inside. We are pulling back the curtain on compulsive people-pleasing, exposing it not as kindness, but as a deeply ingrained trauma response learned in childhood when staying quiet was the only way to stay safe. This behavior has a hidden, emotional price. By constantly prioritizing the comfort of others, you engage in a slow, painful self-betrayal that erodes your personal identity. You inadvertently teach people that your needs don't matter, which breeds deep resentment and prevents the very connection you crave. In this episode, we break down: The Fawn Response: Unpacking the psychological origin of your need to please. The Resentment Cycle: How saying "no problem" creates a mountain of problems. Boundary Blueprint: Practical steps for setting boundaries without the crippling guilt. The Cost of "Nice": Why avoiding conflict is actually destroying your relationships. This isn't just a podcast; it's a permission slip. Permission to be disliked. Permission to be difficult. Permission to finally, unapologetically, be your real self. If you're ready to stop performing for approval and start living with genuine self-respect, this is where your new life begins. 🎧 Press play to stop apologizing and start living. Did this episode hit home? You’re not alone. Hit that follow button, leave a 5-star review, and share this with anyone who needs to hear that their voice matters. Let's get real, together.

"I must be needed to be valued"
Your value isn't in what you do for others. You don't have to earn your seat at the table by serving everyone else first. 🪑

"I'm responsible for everyone's emotions"
You're not responsible for managing everyone's feelings. That's not empathy, that's enmeshment. Their emotions are theirs to hold. 🫂
