When you've had your needs dismissed, minimized, or criticized repeatedly, it makes sense resentment is starting to build. Making your needs smaller isn't the answer.
Does this sound familiar?
You don't even know how to bring up what you need so you just never do
You finally muster up the courage to tell your partner what you need and they just take it personally. So you spend the rest of the discussion reassuring them that they're good enough?!
You tell your partner what you need but every dang time it ends up in the two of you competing about who needs what more?
You've made your needs small for so long you're not even sure how to get out of this pattern and express them to your partner.
The thought of telling your partner what you need feel like too much work that will end in a fight instead of a payday
Part of the problem is that...
You may have received messaging about your needs that may have told you to make your needs small or that you're too much.
It just makes sense that you've absorbed this messaging and you've adapted.
That's the normal response, you make changes in your behavior and stuff your needs which doesn't make them go away, they just get bigger or your resentment starts to really blossom!
The answer here isn't to have NO NEEDS or to just find ways to NEED LESS, rather learning how to assert your needs graciously becomes the pathway to increasing connection and closeness in your relationship.
This is why I created From Communicate Your Needs With Confidence.
Because you cannot fully feel loved and known in your relationship if you continue to stuff your needs down or avoid the conversation.
And you cannot feel cared for and loved in your relationships if you can't get over your hangups around asking for what you need.
