It’s not about them—it’s about what still  aches in you.

It starts small…

You overthink their tone. You wonder if they’re losing interest. You feel anxious when they don’t reply. And deep down— You fear you’re not enough.

This isn’t about them

It’s about the part of you that was wounded before they arrived. The inner child still waiting for reassurance, safety, and love.

Unhealed wounds distort perception

You may: – Take everything personally – Seek constant validation – React from old pain, not present truth

The echo of “not enough”

It shows up in: - Jealousy - Overgiving - People-pleasing - Sabotage Because your body is still bracing for loss.

Relationships mirror your self-belief

If you carry shame, you’ll find reasons to feel rejected. If you carry fear, you’ll question love even when it’s real.

What unhealed wounds really want

Not perfect love— but safety. Understanding. Space to exist without proving.

Start by meeting the wound within

Ask: – Where did I first feel unworthy? – What story am I repeating? – What does this part of me need right now?

Healing is not fixing—it’s witnessing

You don’t need to get rid of your fear. You just need to love the version of you that first felt unseen.

You are not “too much” for the right person

But the relationship becomes peaceful only when your inner world does.

Your worth isn’t a relationship outcome

It’s not proved by who stays or leaves. It’s reclaimed when you choose to stay with your own heart.

Final Thought: 

When you heal the wound that whispers “not enough,” love becomes nourishment—not negotiation. Begin within. That’s where it always begins.
