Don’t be dependent on others to meet your needs. They’ll let you down every time. And that’s because meeting your needs is not their job – that’s yours.

True, but hard to actually live by when you have special needs. It is a rough balance.

This resonates mainly because I am so hard wired for quid pro quo- if I am making sacrifices and ignoring what is important to me to meet the needs of others, I have the wrong idea that they should do what satisfies me in return. In practice it is an always losing practice and I try to remind myself it’s not their job to make me happy nor mine to make them happy but..Think even the most rebellious of us have a people pleaser instinct, even if only because it makes our own lives easier when others are happy.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn. Long as I keep learned when I don’t when, guess I am not too far gone yet.

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts. It is very appreciated.
I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD. Therapy can be very expensive.
If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:
Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.
Again thanks for visiting!
