Do You Feel You’re Giving TOO MUCH In Your Relationships?

Giving for the wrong reasons can be detrimental to both your relationship and your self-esteem. Women, in particular, often report that they feel as though they give and give and receive little in return.
Generous giving comes from a generous place, which implies that you have taken care of your own needs and can put forth energy toward others. It comes from a full heart. Over-giving, on the other hand, is not the ultimate form of selflessness. Instead, it essentially comes from an inability to receive. That means you give, give, give because you think (or hope) it will be appreciated, or because it makes you feel good about yourself, or because you feel morally obligated to.
The truth is, if you are unable to take in love, attention, or help from others and accept it completely, you are giving from an empty heart. Think about some of your relationships and try to be honest about whether your giving is from a generous place or a depleted one. Generous giving feels light and joyful. Over-giving feels burdensome because it is a one-way flow of energy.
Consider the following points to help you determine whether you might be giving too much:
It feels so good and important for you to be the giver in almost every relationship.
You feel guilty when someone gives something to you.
You put the needs of others before your own.
You apologize excessively if you are not able to “give” the way you would like to.
You avoid or are uncomfortable at the thought of asking for something.
You have considered the possibility that your giving could be the result of some insecurity.
You find that you give because you want to feel loved, liked, or admired.
If you have identified yourself as an over-giver, or can relate to any of these examples of over-giving, you are probably feeling exhausted-sacrificing your needs on behalf of others is an unsustainable state.

Btw you don’t need chemistry, you need compatibility ‼️. Me aggressively describing bare minimum effort is distinct example of attachment 😂 Love comes with attachment, but attachment doesn’t always come with love (I gave examples of emotional entertainment). As always, use your own discernment 🫶🏻
