Maybe You’re Not Asking for Too Much, You’re Just Asking the Wrong Person..

from Dear Mercy · host Mercy

Have you ever told someone what you needed, only to walk away wondering if maybe you were asking for too much?In this episode of Dear Mercy, we’re talking about the difference between having standards and having unrealistic expectations and yes, we’re looking at both sides. Because sometimes the other person really isn’t giving you what you need, and sometimes we have to check ourselves too. 😭We’re getting into needs vs. preferences vs. dealbreakers, love vs. compatibility, compromise vs. self-abandonment, and what happens when you’ve communicated the same need over and over again.And I’m leaving you with one questionIf this person never changed, would you still choose them?Grab your cafecito. ☕️ This one might have you thinking about some shit. 😭
