#internalizer

"Internalizers are accustomed to supplying most of the empathy and doing more than their fair share in trying to get along, and for a long time they may not notice that they're getting worn out while the other person isn't changing at all... They are so familiar with supplying the sensitivity that was missing in their family members that they automatically do this with everyone. They make up for other people's lack of engagement by seeing them as nicer and more considerate than they really are."

If I could, I'd go no-contact with every externalizer because at least I'd be able to maintain my sympathy for them. Imperfect victims can absolutely be just as bad as the people who made them that way.
