Careful! Be on the lookout for these warning signs in YOURSELF

  • Don’t have enough compassion for yourself
  • too self-critical
  • You don’t talk about what matters to you

She captioned the clip: “Three red flags to make sure you don’t abandon your OWN needs.”

“Here are three red flags to watch out for to make sure you don’t portray or neglect your own needs,” she said at the beginning of the clip.

The therapist then revealed that the first red flag was having too much compassion for others and not enough for oneself.

‘Number one, more compassion for others than for yourself. You make excuses for other people’s behavior when they have hurt you and you feel deep empathy for them.

“But don’t resort to that same compassion to reflect on what you need,” he added.

The second warning sign that you may be starting to abandon your sense of self is being overly self-critical.

He explained that you’ll know if you’re too hard on yourself if you often put yourself down and refuse to forgive past mistakes, despite letting go of things your loved ones have done.

‘Third, you don’t talk about the things that matter to you. Whether it’s fear of conflict, rejection, or simply because you don’t believe your voice matters.
