You’ve always tried to be the dependable one—the person others can count on. You say “yes” even when you’re running on empty, bite your tongue to avoid conflict, and end up feeling resentful or invisible after yet another situation where your needs got lost. Maybe you feel guilty for wanting space or worry that saying “no” will push people away. Deep down, you know something has to change—you want to feel connected without constantly sacrificing yourself to keep the peace.
