😰 You've carried their stress your entire life - but how do you actually put it down?

Knowing "it wasn't your fault" intellectually doesn't stop you from automatically absorbing everyone's bad mood as an adult. Your nervous system learned that other people's emotions are your emergency - and that programming runs deep. Here's what toxic responsibility looks like in your adult life: - You apologize when someone else is in a bad mood - even when you did nothing - You can't relax if anyone around you seems upset  - their discomfort becomes yours - You over-explain and justify basic needs - asking feels like a burden - You're exhausted from emotional management - but can't stop doing it - You choose partners who need "fixing" - familiar dysfunction feels like love The hardest truth? You're not actually helping anyone by carrying their emotions. You're just recreating the childhood dynamic where your existence required constant damage control. Healing means learning that other people's stress, anger, or disappointment can exist without you needing to fix, explain, or absorb it.
