Linda Hill
Learn to trust yourself.
Don’t get into a new relationship too soon.
Embrace your new life, and let go.
It isn’t a bad thing to be a person who is sensitive to other people’s needs. But when it is at your own expense and becomes an obvious unfillable need, it’s a problem.
Are you helping the other person more than they try helping themselves?
Don’t waste one more moment with a person who won’t see past fulfilling their own wants and needs.
Are you highly sensitive to other people’s feelings? This is empathy which, as discussed earlier, is a phenomenal trait.
Do you stifle your own needs?
Denying yourself of your needs puts you in a very dangerous position, especially when dealing with a narcissist. They expect you to make them and their needs a priority, so denying or ignoring your own needs for theirs gives them exactly what they expect: A partner who has no emotional needs, who can exclusively focus on them.
