The Dangers of Overgiving in Relationships
Many individuals find themselves overgiving in relationships, whether romantic or platonic, leading to unmet needs and potential resentment. This overgiving often stems from a self-perception as a loving and nurturing person, but underneath lies a fear of not being deserving of receiving as much as they give. By not communicating their needs, individuals create a barrier to deeper connections and hinder personal and relational growth. True happiness and growth come from honesty and open communication, even if it means facing temporary discomfort.
Transforming Wish Lists into Standards in Relationships
Converting internal wish lists into external standards is crucial in relationships, rooted in a strong sense of self-worth. It is essential to believe that what one is willing to give is also worthy of receiving from others. Expressing needs and boundaries early on in relationships, while challenging, can prevent prolonged imbalance and potential heartache down the line. It is better to establish clear expectations from the start, allowing for genuine connection and mutual fulfillment.
Do you ignore red flags? Do you feel like you give too much in your relationships? Do you brush things under the carpet when someone violates your boundaries? If so, this week’s episode is specifically for you… The richness and depth of a true connection can only come from giving other people the chance to reciprocate your warmth, kindness, and giving nature… Because, while it might feel selfless or nurturing to pour into others without receiving in return – it can actually backfire, weaken your connection, and make you feel resentful. I promise that if you find the courage to be honest, you’ll find more satisfaction, fulfillment, and happiness in your relationships. ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com ►► Ready to Get Off the Sidelines and Back into Dating?
