High Capacity OR Lack of Boundaries?
Clues that your tendency towards high capacity are a lack of boundaries (intimacy edition)
You build up resentment because you feel you are always giving
But you don’t communicate how you want intimacy to go
Your self-worth is tied up in doing and you take pride in “skills”
And then you get frustrated when it’s not reciprocated
You struggle to give yourself permission to receive pleasure
And get caught up in blaming your partner for not pleasing you the way you enjoy
You take pride in achievements and are avoidant of intimacy
So you don’t create time and space to luxuriate in it
This is survival speaking
Your high performing ways are how you’ve built your self-worth
Because it got you the sense of achievement, safety and control
True intimacy feels too vulnerable for you
That’s partially because you aren’t good at establishing and holding limits
You persistently override your own body’s limits and your body doesn’t trust you so you don’t have the self-trust to have your own back in intimacy
But instead of noticing this yourself it feels like your partner is intruding, selfish and needy
It might even feel like they are not caring for you
What’s a limit you can establish today to begin to rewrite this pattern?
Notice when you are thirsty and you hydrate yourself instead of putting it off
Notice when you are stiff from sitting too long and get up and stretch instead of pushing through
Notice when you need to take a break and allow yourself to do it
Your body needs to learn to trust you again too
