I’ve been in a lot of one sided friendships. I started to discuss my wants and needs for them to put more in, such reciprocating reaching out to connect or returning texts or calls. Unfortunately most weren’t going for that and either they gaslighted me or they stopped communicating or I pulled away. Ultimately many friendships died because I wasn’t willing to keep putting in all the effort. It’s been very painful and I realized I do the same with my parents and in-laws. It’s triggered the rejection wound to think that unless I do most of the work to keep the relationship going, they don’t feel I am worth it. That’s what hurts the most is them not thinking I am worth it.

Actually I would encourage you to see this as GROWTH! BY putting your need out there you are getting valuable (but painful) information back about these relationships. THAT becomes your starting point for building healthier relationships moving forward. Make sense?

@@MichelleFarrismft thank you for responding and for your insight to change my perspective on it. You and your content are incredibly valuable and helpful, especially when it comes to friendships, because most relationship info is focused on the romantic side and I have more friends vs just 1 partner. Friendships seem trickier for some reason, especially female ones because of the whole girls have to be nice thing, but aren’t really kind. It gets very confusing and especially when I am prone to being overly responsible and accountable for my side of the street. Somehow I often end up taking ownership for both my and their behavior…for both sides of the street. I know… I struggle deeply with codependency.

I love how you say, "I don't want that for you." It feels really caring. I realize that what you are talking about describes me. I have been having a hard time of it. Thankfully I have been doing some things right, even though inwardly I am codependent. Now I hope to begin recovering.

omg. I just hit pause to write my list and number one is I feel responsible for.... and it just kept on going and going and wow! I just realized I've been babysitting a two year old for the last decade. All while convinced that I was the two year old who was being rescued by the actual 2 year old.

No, I wouldn’t recommend that. The goal is to feel good about what We say and do in hopes of creating a healthier connection.
