@alyssaaazander: For as long as I can remember I picked up on other people's feelings like it was second nature. No one asked me to, but I thought if I kept the peace things wouldn't fall apart. And on top of that there was a younger part of me that still believed I had to *earn* love... so I kept trying to prove I was enough by over giving. I say all of this with compassion and grace for the wise part of me that learned this pattern. She was just trying to protect me and keep me safe. It's just that this pattern isn't serving us anymore. And the more I bring it forward and reality check this tendency, the safer I feel within myself, and the more peace I feel in my relationships. ✨If you want to read the full post on why we feel responsible for other people's emotions (and how to stop) just type "READ" in the comments and I'll send it to you! ✨ #fyp #relationships #relatable #codependency #anxiety #anxiousattachment
