The Hidden Cost of Being Dependable

from Project Reclaim Hosted by Robert Nebergall

We say yes, then wonder why we feel resentful. Sometimes we’ve agreed to more than a favor. We’ve agreed to keep being the person who never needs anything. In this episode, we explore how being dependable can become the way we earn our place in a relationship. We talk about the difference between being appreciated and being known, and why disappointing someone can feel harder than acknowledging what we need. Being of service matters. So does having enough left to keep showing up. This conversation looks at honest limits, the discomfort that comes with saying no, and making room for ourselves among the people worth caring for. Where have we been saying “it’s no problem” when it actually is?
