4 signs you are over-functioning in your relationships

4 signs you are over-functioning in your relationships

1. You do all the planning, checking in, and emotional labour
2. You anticipate problems before they happen and solve them silently
3. You feel responsible when other adults fail to manage their own lives
4. You are exhausted but cannot stop because if you stop, everything falls apart

Over-functioning is not love. It is control wearing a caregiver costume. The moment you stop holding everything together and nothing collapses, you will realise it was never yours to hold.
