High-Functioning Fawn Mode

You're everyone's support human. You forgot yourself.

You’re showing up, checking in, holding it down for others. From the outside, you’re thriving. But somewhere along the way, your own needs got set aside, again.

This is fawn mode in disguise. Caretaking as coping. Over-functioning as identity. Being useful so you don’t feel like a burden.

You’re not weak for needing what you give. You're not selfish for turning inward. Try this: put a hand on your chest. Whisper, “What about me?”

Let the question echo, even if no answer comes yet. The asking is enough.

You are worthy of the same grace, softness, and presence you pour into everyone else.
