A great post to think about this morning. These patterns seem obvious to me when written in a post like this, but recognizing them as they're happening is a whole different story. Mostly, I just feel guilty and end up feeling bad about myself. 😅 "A good person wouldn't have a problem doing this for them" and the like. Anyone else?

>>They overshare their emotions when it comes to how they feel about the way you show up in their life. For instance they’ll say, “When you didn’t call me the other day it really hurt my feelings.”

IMO. this is not manipulation. This is exactly the kind of sentence a therapist trains a client to use!
