I Am Learning Self-respect, Self-care, And Self-love

I Feel like I am in a constant battle between my needs and others. There are many times in my life where I should step away from a certain situation that I'm sure will effect me negatively but I don't because I know what is expected of me. I feel selfish whenever I have to put my needs and health first. I need to always put everyone first and think of myself last. I've never been able to be in the position of just worrying about my personal needs. And I think this has made me into somewhat of a pushover and an unnecessarily overly polite person. My biggest struggle is being more assertive and saying how I truly feel.

Of course there are times when you should put the needs of others before yours, but having the ability to differentiate between the two is key.
You are the only one who will truly look out for you, and you're just as important as others.
I'm glad you're learning this lesson now. Good luck...

@rottenrobi Yes, I know I should be just as important as others, but in the situations I'm in I'm treated as second rate. I don't have the luxury or the choice right now, but I really appreciate your kind words thanks ^-^

Every time you make a decision try and put your own interests first. Too much compromise will kill you
