Childhood neglect

How childhood neglect shows up
in adult romantic relationships:

Never sharing your true feelings out of fear.

Not knowing how to ask for what you need.

Feeling like you are codependent on your partner.

Believing you aren't lovable & fearing they will leave you.

Struggling with self-harm or addiction in secret.

Trying to be "low maintenance"/downplaying your needs.

Lashing out when they won't validate your emotions.

Constantly feeling lonely or disconnected.
