Liar Liar

I’ve had an epiphany.

I tell people I’m okay when actually they’ve hurt me. Lies. I tell people I am low maintenance so they don’t feel pressure to meet my emotional needs. Lies. I tell people their feelings are valid, which they are, but never share how the way they express their feelings is often invalidating. To me. Lies. I tell people I’d be happy to help, when actually I don’t have time. Lies. I tell myself that overextending IS love.

Lies.

Hi, my name is people-pleaser and I’m a liar.
