There’s a reason you are one of my favourite writers here. This right here! Phenomenal writing and story telling!

So I have very similar feelings to you. I don’t feel my needs matter, I feel invisible and deeply flawed. I am working through this with a therapist. At the moment I believe this stems from being a highly sensitive person and experiencing a lot of childhood emotional neglect. But i May explore the codependency angle a bit more. Thank you
