Have you ever?

Shown someone too much kindness and forgave too much of their selfish behavior in your friendship? Then one day you realize you are hurting yourself masochisticly, because you don't value your own heart and feelings? You have to value what you give and have lines on what you'll except in any relationship.

This is such a hard one for me. I take after my mom. I need to stop hurting myself through my tolerate of other people I care for hurting me. This is part of my story.. my personal journey.. all my true friends know who they are, and I will always be grateful for what you habe given me.❤️

Yeah we have to be careful it doesn't become some kind of martyrdom.

We can't rely too much on other people to fulfill us or make us feel emotional complete. It's no-one else's responsibility anyway.

@SW-User I get it.. its a balance.. but ultimately we have to set the boundaries.. people can't read our minds.. half the time they are pissing us off.. who's fault is that? Still.. its nice to treated well by those who claim to care most.
