˙⋆✮ Changing their opinion mid-sentence because someone's face shifted

˙⋆✮ Laughing at something that made them uncomfortable to keep the peace

˙⋆✮ Never sending food back even when it's genuinely wrong

˙⋆✮ The resentment that builds silently because they never just said no

˙⋆✮ Agreeing to things and hoping they get cancelled so they don't have to

˙⋆✮ Shrinking their own needs down until they're not even sure what they are

˙⋆✮ The carefully worded text that took forty minutes to seem casual

˙⋆✮ Feeling personally responsible for everyone else's emotional temperature

˙⋆✮ Complimenting someone back immediately because receiving one felt dangerous

˙⋆✮ Saying what someone wants to hear and hating themselves a little for it

˙⋆✮ Noticing they have no idea what they actually like anymore

˙⋆✮ The exhaustion of monitoring every reaction in every room at all times

˙⋆✮ Volunteering for things no one asked them to do to feel worthy of being there

˙⋆✮ Being so easy to be around that no one thinks to ask if they're okay

˙⋆✮ Adjusting their personality slightly for every single person they know

˙⋆✮ The anger that only comes out sideways because it had nowhere else to go

˙⋆✮ Apologizing to furniture they walked into

˙⋆✮ Needing to be needed as a substitute for feeling genuinely wanted
