Do you recognize these symptoms or behaviors that perpetuate the wound?
🌀 Design my entire life inside chronic self-sufficiency and/or addictions (eg. workaholism), thus further isolating myself.
🌀 Contort self to be what others want, so to be loved, accepted and/or validated.
🌀 Overstay relationships that I’ve long outgrown because I can’t bear ending up alone and/or abandoning others.
🌀 Often feel left out or left behind personally and/or professionally (eg. last one picked for dodge ball, first one laid off from team).
🌀 Lingering sense of discontentment with where I am in life and what I have.
🌀 Avoid joining communities, so to abandon others before they can abandon me.
🌀 Leave relationships during conflict rather than stay to resolve misunderstanding and deepen intimacy.
