I try to carry the world on my shoulders and rarely let others know that I need help and support. I deny or ignore my own emotional needs and feels that others will not accept me if I appear “weak”. I’m especially uncomfortable with emotional dependency, and tell myself and others not to be a “baby”. I need to accept that no one is self-sufficient all the time, and to be gentler with my “childish” emotional needs and wants. My feelings and loyalties run deep, but i often do not let people know how much I care.
