You’re not selfish for wanting the same energy and love you pour into others. 🌟
It’s human nature to crave balance, to feel seen, and to want reciprocity in relationships—whether it’s with friends, family, or a partner. When you’re constantly giving your all—your time, your heart, your support—it’s not wrong to hope for that same vibe to come back to you. 💖 That’s not selfishness; it’s self-respect. You’re not asking for too much; you’re asking for fairness.
Think about it: you’re the one showing up, cheering people on, and holding space for them when they need it. 🙌 You’re the hype squad, the listener, the “I’ve got your back” friend. But if you’re always the giver and rarely the receiver, it can leave you feeling drained, unappreciated, or even invisible. 😔 Wanting someone to match your energy isn’t about keeping score—it’s about wanting connection that feels mutual, not one-sided. Relationships are a two-way street, not a charity event. 🚦
Society sometimes guilt-trips us into thinking we should just keep giving without expecting anything in return. “Be selfless!” they say. But there’s a difference between selflessness and self-sacrifice. 🔥 You’re allowed to set boundaries and say, “Hey, I deserve love too.” That doesn’t make you needy or greedy—it makes you human. We all thrive on love, attention, and effort. It’s what fuels us. 🌱
So, when you feel that pang of disappointment because someone’s not meeting you halfway, don’t beat yourself up. You’re not wrong for wanting a hype squad of your own or a partner who texts back with the same enthusiasm you do. 📱 You’re not selfish for wanting a “Good morning!” that’s as warm as the one you sent. It’s okay to want someone who celebrates you as much as you celebrate them. 🎉
At the end of the day, you deserve to be loved as fiercely as you love others. Period. 💯 Don’t let anyone dim your shine or make you feel bad for knowing your worth. Keep giving your magic, but don’t settle for less than you give. You’re not selfish—you’re just ready for the real deal. ✨
