Do you ever feel like you *over love? 🫂
*Over love as in not properly loving someone, I.e: with the necessary boundaries.
#LetsBeHonest , I sometimes feel like I over love in relationships because I feel like I’m neglected in other ways. I often think that I’m shown a lack of love from other people (especially family) and I hate that feeling so I typically go out of my way to make someone else feel heard, wanted and special and honestly I think it backfires on me a lot.
what about y’all? Do you feel like you over love sometimes because you’re lacking it in another relationship?
Overloving is a complex emotional experience where individuals express excessive affection often due to feelings of neglect in other relationships, particularly within families. This phenomenon can lead to emotional burnout and unsustainable dynamics in romantic relationships. For those resonating with this feeling, it’s essential to comprehend the role of boundaries. Establishing healthy boundaries can enhance interpersonal dynamics, ensuring that love does not turn into emotional dependency. To find balance, consider reflecting on your emotional needs and how they inform your relationship dynamics. Engage in open conversations with your partners about feelings of neglect and the importance of mutual reciprocation in affection. Practicing self-love can also play a significant role in mitigating the tendency to overlove, allowing you to cultivate healthier connections. Remember, seeking emotional support from friends or even professional counseling can provide insights that help in managing feelings of overloving. This journey is about self-awareness, growth, and ultimately finding the right balance in your relationships.
I relate very well. I’ve learned to tell myself, I am responsible for how I treat people and allow myself to be treated. This helps me understand my boundaries with others. It’s okay to love deep because at the end of the day, no one can say you didn’t love them. If they messed this up, that’s on them. You can plant a seed of love, but sometimes you can’t water it to make it grow. Give yourself Grace and change your mindset
