If you had to wonder/guess if your relationship falls in this space — that’s sign #1 & you’re in the right space— cuz this thread is for you!
If your partner never thanks you for doing favors or being a great partner, they're not appreciating you for all you're worth. If your partner never acknowledges any of your personal sacrifices for him/her or the relationship, it's a red flag, too.
They demand things of you that they won’t/don’t do themselves. There’s no reciprocity in the relationship. This is a major sign of UNappreciation.
They act as if the things you do for them are mandatory like you’re EXPECTED to do them & show no gratitude in the process.
They make plans without including you & just expect you to go along with them. They don’t value your individuality or autonomy. You’re seen as an extension of them.
They don’t care to learn about you. They don’t ask how your day is/was. They don’t ask about your goals/future. They have no interest in trying things you love or that are special to you.
They spend time with everyone else more than they spend time with you. You’re always put on the backburner.
Relationships require equal work and compromise in order to make both people happy and to show willingness to adapt and care for each other. If your partner refuses to compromise —it shows they just string you along without thinking of you as a valued person in the relationship.
If you’re always feeling guilty of not doing enough in the relationship because of remarks/comments they make they may be taking advantage of your sensitivity/kindness for others.
They never include you in plans nor do they want to spend special moments/occasions with you.
How many of these are true for you in your current or most recent past relationships?

Let’s talk about the way we choose “friends”. Let’s really have a discussion about it — because there have been way too many instances where a person has ended up unalive, abused or harmed by a person they categorized as a “FRIEND”.
People are failing to have healthy friendships because they are not recognizing that friendships are relationships too. Just like you should have a list of standards for your partner, you should have a list for friends.
Setting standards doesn’t mean you’re judging anyone. It’s just making sure you’re aligned with people who may have the same values/morals as u & have your best interest at heart. It takes intentionality to create healthy relationships. And no one is going to be perfect— yes.
You are not responsible for their distrust in the people they SEEK OUT to date. If someone did them dirty in the past after they were good to them & now they don’t want to do things for you that you DESERVE because in their head you have to prove you’re WORTHY— RUN!

People be thinking they’ve experienced depression & they truly haven’t & that’s why they have all these negative things to say about people struggling with it.
Depression and having certain symptoms of depression are two different things. Everything is on a spectrum. You can experience symptoms of depression without being clinically or significantly depressed. You can experience symptoms & not have a depression diagnosis.
Like if it was a “mind thing” why are so many people struggling? They think because they overcame it by “thinking positively” that other people should be able to. That wasn’t depression love. You were just down in the dumps.
