The Strange Guilt of Having Needs

from Embrace The Unseen · host Embrace The Unseen

One night at dinner, I found myself apologizing for something I didn’t do—and it made me realize how often I treat my own needs like something to be ashamed of. What followed wasn’t just a moment of overwhelm, but a deeper look at guilt, people-pleasing, and the quiet belief that needing space makes me a burden.
