🔍 What Are the Signs You’re Getting Less Than the Bare Minimum?

  • You’re the one always reaching out first.

  • You feel insecure more often than reassured.

  • Your needs feel like a burden.

  • You’re constantly wondering where you stand.

  • There are more excuses than actions.

🛠️ How to Overcome the Problem

  • Acknowledge your worth. Your feelings and needs are valid.

  • Set clear boundaries. Define what effort looks like to you.

  • Stop chasing crumbs. If they’re not meeting the basics, they’re not your person.

  • Start choosing you. Emotional peace > attention from someone inconsistent.

💡 Love Tip:

Wanting to be chosen - not just tolerated - is never too much.
