This is a compassionate community offering space to nurture relationships without sacrificing yourself.

Do you allow someone to speak for you because losing yourself seems more acceptable than not connecting?

✅ pause before responding
✅ over-explain your thoughts,
✅ or alter your words to preserve the relationship.
If this is you, it might mean you are trying to own your story in order to preserve the relationship.
