This definitely clarified some for me. I think a big reason I feel so fed up and exhausted with people is for this reason, giving way too much and not being comfortable receiving. I’m at a point where I practically resent anyone trying to be close to me because I associate that with overextending myself, suppressing my emotions to maintain a pleasant demeanor, and just general self-sacrifice. Been working on boundaries a lot lately. But I feel I may lose a lot of people. Most of my friendships were lost the moment I decided to have some self respect. But I guess those were never healthy friendships..

Valuable insight. Thank you. I'm often struggling with the feeling of having to do it alone and that there is no support.
Thank you Anna for this insight, I am going to use an affirmation that enhances the feeling that I have everything I need, when I need it.
