Just wondering how many people here feel selfish for taking care of themselves. I often feel like I'm letting people down when I put my needs before theirs. Even when I'm on the brink of complete mental shutdown, I feel selfish for putting myself first.
And I'm not even talking about big things, like when someone is in serious need of help. But just declining to go out when I'm in a barely functional state. Or not joining everyone else for lunch because the canteen is a sensory minefield.
I came across the below on tumblr. And I'm trying to embrace that idea, but still have a lot of trouble getting there. Anyone else feel the same?
