I've been focusing on learning to identify my needs and working to get them met. I'm making progress. I've been able to have difficult conversations with friends and express myself and my needs well (compared to how I was before I began this work) and it's definitely paying off. There are still times when I don't see that I'm sacrificing my own needs for the needs of others until it's too late, so there's still much work to be done, I suppose.
Thanks for this!
