    In this video, I talk about my personal experience of learning to be alone and not depending on a partner. This helped me to really get to know myself, what I needed, and what I desired. I talk about specific examples of the things I used to do and how little by little I learned to enjoy being on my own. Being self-reliant gave me an enormous amount of self-confidence and drive, which was a major turnaround in my self-development journey. I also discuss core wounds, how to meet your needs and be comfortable alone while you focus on your healing journey and end codependency. If I can do it, you can too!

    I remember sitting in a webinar and you were all - figure out what you want a partner to do for you and do it for yourself. That was the inspiration for the solo Puerto Rico trip. I never thought I could do it, but I did!!! ❤️😎

    1000% relate to the combination of give-give-give and then hold people at bay if they try to give back or get too close, and to how you'd be there for people to the nth degree when they were in need, but when you were the one in need they'd just think you were strong and could handle it.--FA

    Thais, I've done both needs courses and they've been very helpful, for I grew up not being allowed to have any wants or needs. But the way you've explained in this video about the needs you had and how you filled them somehow takes it to another level of empowerment and excitement that I can do this and feel so much more stable. Thank you!

    Never knowing myself bc of being so focused on others.. I don't know what I need.. I know I need comfort and achievement..to feel heard, reassured, and appreciated..appreciated for what ah doing for others.. 🙄 It's so hard putting myself first. It takes being honest with one's self, being responsible and all I want to work on is overwhelming. My dishes, laundry, organizing clutter.. my health, exercising. I get drained and overwhelmed thinking about it all. I don't know what to do with my life.. thank you for this video and the guidance. ❤

    • @deannamarie3746
      @deannamarie3746 Před rokem +2

      It's not a "weakness", and quite the contrary. It's more just learning to deal with emotionally weak and manipulative people sometimes, and often what compells us to be more avoidant later on, though we definitely can take the opportunities to reflect and build ourselves up in those cases. As a christian it will certaintly open up time to study, etc

    As an FA hearing you speak on things you did really makes me realize how much I do the same and how much these traits are really embedded as FAs.
    The give give and superficial vulnerability, even thinking I could be alone because I have been alone for quite some time in the past when I decide I don’t want to be close to people and shut off….but it was being alone but still focused on so many external things and not giving to myself what I want from others.

    Very insightful. I’ve been alone for over a decade. But I could still dig deeper and learn to understand and meet my needs better.
    But then how do I find the motivation to seek a relationship with someone else when I can meet all of my own needs so well?
    The longer I’m alone, the less desire I have to be with someone. This concerns me, but I don’t know why it’s concerning.

      I'm in the same boat, I meet my own needs so well. I'm in the headspace where if it ain't broke don't fix it. The times I did try to let others meet my needs it went badly. I'm like nope, I'll be my own sugar mama from this point forward and it's been bliss. Life isn't always easy or perfect, but I rather be on the independent side than dependent side.

I am still working on healing and overcoming my FA leaning anxious tendencies, was alone during COVID for 2 years doing a lot of inner work, had the closest to a healthy relationship for 2 years that we ended mutually and amicably and now am starting a relationship with a DA consciously from my and his perspectives.

    Thank you for sharing. I "let people in" and gave people chances many times in life just to be let down. I had to deal with the destruction afterwards and I'm like it ain't worth all that. When I see someone with toxic behaviours (i.e. gossipy, backstabbing and a cutthroat) I'm not gonna expect them to meet my needs, yet alone trust them. Infact I stay away. When they show I can't trust them and they do things to show I can't trust them, in those situations I'm glad I listened to my gut. Then it all clicked for me (even seeing my social media numbers grow), when I give to myself, the world follows. I personally prefer to be alone, hang out with people sometimes and I love love love my space. I've had guys show interest, but I'm like nah, I make a better friend and auntie. But good luck to my fellow FAs on here looking for love, I believe in you. ❤ And thank you Thais for providing a course like this. (For an education, and to get perspectives outside my own, I may try the trial, at this point I meet all my own needs so that part got my attention.) I noticed angel number 777 in the form of likes on this, and since I've been seeing angel numbers a lot. Somehow I think the spiritual guides led me to this video. ❤

    This was so helpful. I had my first dating experience with an AP. I'm a recovering FA. I IMMEDIATELY sensed the mask, the people pleasing, and mirroring behaviors. I give them nothing to pretend to be. I even explicitly stated that love bombing doesn't work on me because that level of emotional intensity and attention legit triggers me. 1 because it is suffocating. 2. Because I am informed an know the signs of dysfunction now. He tried it anyways.
    He tried to call me out and say I had BPD because I wouldn't give him attention while I was out watching football with friends. Of course this triggered my abandonment issues. It made me question my behavior. I am very reflective and willing to take ownership, probably too much.
    But this level of disregulation and attention seeking after 1 date was insane. Watch out for these people.

    Your story is so much like mine. But I am also introverted so I need lots of space. At this point I prefer to be alone and am not even interested in adding a relationship to my life.

      You're not alone in this. I love my alone time so much. I'm also the only child, so my space is a must. I make a great friend, but I also think I'm better off by myself. In the relationship I was in a while back, the guy didn't understand that I wanted to still be my own person and keep my interests. The last thing I want is to be suffocated. Life isn't easy or perfect, but at this point I rather meet my own needs and be independent. The different times I did let people in ended up being nightmares and I'm like nope, not going down these paths no more.
