Thank you so much for this thoughtful and empowering comment. You’re speaking directly to the heart of the issue: it’s not about becoming cold or disconnected, It’s about aligning giving with self-respect, and making sure it’s rooted in choice, not fear.
Your fifth point really stood out: “What would please me, too?” That question alone can shift everything. I’m curious: what helped you personally begin making that shift from automatic yes to conscious choice?
That makes a lot of sense, Michal. When the pattern becomes too painful, a strong boundary can feel like the only sane option. I’m curious—do you feel that shift brought you more peace, or has it raised new challenges in how you navigate giving and connection going forward?
