You outwork everyone, you keep everyone happy, and you still feel like you have to earn your place. That exhaustion is not a character flaw. It is a wound that was created before you had words for it.
It is not ambition. It is what happens when a child quietly decides Love must be earned, then spends decades trying to earn it. The drive that built your life and the pain you keep running from are the same thing.
Two strangers discovered through a single DNA test that they are biological siblings carrying the same wound from the same father. One man walked away from a company right before it sold for two hundred and fifty million dollars because he was too afraid of being abandoned to stay. One woman became so agreeable she learned to abandon herself, all the way into an eating disorder she barely survived.
Stop asking what is wrong with you and finally understand what happened to you.
