🧡 Fractal Persona of the Sacral Chakra: The Over-Giver
Theme: Self-Abandonment, People-Pleasing & Emotional Exhaustion
🪷 A Day in the Life of The Over-Giver
I wake up already thinking of others—what they need, what I forgot to do, how I can make someone feel better today. My to-do list is full, not with dreams or desires of my own, but with tasks for everyone else. I want to feel loved. Needed. Appreciated. So I give.
I give my time. My energy. My body. My emotions. Even when I’m tired, I say yes. Even when I need space, I stay. I don’t want to disappoint. I don’t want to be seen as selfish. So I push my needs aside and show up for everyone else with a smile.
Throughout the day, I anticipate what others need before they ask. I keep peace. I soothe wounds. I become the safe place. But inside, something aches. I feel invisible. Resentful. Empty. I don’t always know what I want because I’ve spent so long giving others what they want from me.
At night, I wonder why no one shows up for me the way I show up for them. Why no one sees me. Why love always feels one-sided. And yet, I keep giving—hoping someone will finally return what I’ve poured out. I confuse sacrifice with love. But the truth is, I’m abandoning myself in the name of care.
