And I feel like being an empath, you're extra compassionate and you have a big heart and you want to help everybody and sometimes have a little bit of a savior complex, which is not good at all because people will take advantage of you and you'll end up hurt at the end. So reciprocating, like, we have to learn to, you know, how can I pour into another person, pour out for my cup, but they're not pouring back into me?

Hey doll. I like this swell. This swell is actually right on time for me. I had a past weekend where me pouring into others and then dealing with my own challenges and traumas and triggers going on my healing journey. I've been doing it for, I think a little over a year and a half on this healing journey. And I've discovered things about myself that would like to improve. I've discovered things that trigger me

But how are you supposed to pour into another person if they're not pouring into you? That's just not logical and it could get emotionally and psychologically exhausting. I know it did to me. And in the past I used to suffer a lot of anxiety and depression because of that fact. I felt like I was giving everyone love and nobody was loving me back how I wanted to

If there's deflection, then I know I'm not going to continue to pour and poor and poor and then not get anything back. And I'm not even going to handle it maliciously. I'm just going to know to just casually just dial it back. I'm just going to dial it back. Since then, things have definitely gotten better as far as me dealing with it, but, yeah, there's still like, parts where I'm kind of sad

Hey, I'm BRZY. I actually love that for you. I feel like everyone goes through their own, like, healing journey and, you know, discovering themselves and just regaining their energy because when someone doesn't reciprocation, it's very draining. And I feel like in the past two years I was in that spot where I took the proactive steps to kind of like what you said, express the feelings or whatnot, communicate and still not being heard is definitely frustrating

I can't tell you what I need because it's not being reciprocation reciprocation, but they will gladly take what you have to offer. Those are the times where you need to make changes. You sound a little bit younger than me. I'm 50. Maybe a lot younger than me. But if you do not start taking care of your own heart, putting your own broken heart back together, you will end up with many Ailments down the road. The mind body connection is just too huge

So I don't know if that makes sense to you, but I have had time to be within myself, to deal with me, to deal with my feelings, my emotions, my thoughts. And I'm learning that I have given so much out and I don't want to even mention it anymore. I don't want to talk about who, what, where, or how I did things, but I want to start talking about why I'm doing this for myself and take out

Hey, guys. I appreciate the likes and those who commented. I feel like reciprocation is something that's very important, and sometimes we don't take the time to see that we are worthy and our value, like, we need to also be poured into. And it's fine to love our family and friends, and it's fine to want to help others
