I think I see it less as transactional as my value as a person makes me not worth the action they are doing

Yes. This should apply to friendships and other relationships as well. Transactional relationships are poison.

This is a difficult concept for some people. My husband used to not even take a small gift of cash from a friend who wants to contribute for gas or a meal; he would literally throw the money back at them. I explained to him that they were giving from their heart, and he was throwing their gift back at them, rejecting it. I told him to think how it felt to him when others throw his money back at him. (He doesn’t like it.) He’s gotten better about accepting kindness from others graciously.

It’s one of the hardest lessons that I have found to be rooted in trauma and not just a commonly used word today like actual stuff and it’s a lot of work and it sucks

How do you learn that? How do you learn to find safety enough within love that you relinquish the belief that when you receive it, there is not a balance owed?

Åspen 🇯🇪 🏳️⚧️ :
Yep. I keep a mental tally of all the things everyone does for me or gives me and then I owe them. It makes receiving feel like a burden because not only do I owe them but my return gift needs to be perfect.

which is why I'm single, that way I'm never in debt to someone and no one keeps track

Scared of being thought as selfish for accepting love without immediately returning it.

I had a partner of 11 years who absolutely viewed favors as transactional, and he never thought I was ahead. It was exhausting.

guilty, yet never finding the correct help to break away from it or change it. or maybe I'm just broken upstairs and nothing seems to work for me 🤷

Guilty. Even though I can't stand having the focus on me, I want more than anything for them to at least try to shine it on me.

And this goes the other way around. If I take and feel like it’s good, then give it back as well. Not because you’re “paying them” but because relationships are a two way street 🥰🥰❤️🩹

People can delete messages.
What they usually forget to delete are the patterns that exposed them in the first place.
