You got:
THE OVER-GIVER
You’re the go-to. The reliable one. The person who keeps everything running... while quietly thinking,
“Why is it always me?”
You equate love with sacrifice.
Worth with usefulness.
You take pride in being the one who shows up… no matter what.
But when you give more than you have, and still feel invisible?
That’s a recipe for resentment.
And if we’re being really honest…
You might be doing a little bit of quiet martyring.
(With love. We’ve all been there.)
What You Actually Need:
✔️ Permission to stop doing everything without losing your identity
✔️ Space to be supported, not just admired for holding it all together
✔️ Recognition that your value isn’t earned by how much you sacrifice
You don’t need to stop being generous.
You just need to stop using generosity as proof of your worth.
When You Shift This:
You stop keeping score in silence.
You start asking for what you need - before you snap.
You feel seen, not just needed.
Is it you? Or is it them?
You've seen how your resentment shows up (the denying of your own needs while taking care of everyone else, the internal WTF-ness).
Now, let’s figure out if it's justified.
I created The Sanity Check to be the tool I wish I’d when I was spiraling. It’s a $27 diagnostic toolkit designed to help you:
Identify the root cause of the resentment (it’s rarely what you think it is).
Diagnose if you’re actually overreacting or if the situation is messed up.
Know where you stand so you can make a smart decision about what happens next
This is the tool I wish I’d had when I was unhappy but worried I was just overreacting.
