Me? I& #39;m one of these people; have been since I was a child due to neglect and various forms of mental and physical abuse. It& #39;s rooted in me so deeply that I& #39;ve willingly engaged in abusive relationships because I felt that& #39;s what I needed. I had to earn my keep there.

While may not be in those kinds of relationships anymore, I still struggle greatly with making my needs known. I often let myself be ignored by others, because I feel like if I bring up how it makes me feel, they will get upset, and I don& #39;t want them to feel that way.

I constantly put everyone else& #39;s needs before mine, bc I feel like if I ever try to bring up mine, no one will care. I fear being gaslit over it; I can already see it happening, and I& #39;m so susceptible to it. It& #39;s so easy to break me down, because I& #39;m already doing it to myself.
