You give and give… but feel completely empty.
You’re always the helper, the fixer, the one who never says no.
But beneath the selflessness, there might be something deeper:
an addiction to being needed.
This kind of emotional pattern can become compulsive — a way to feel worthy, seen, or in control.
Here are signs you may be addicted to being needed:
• You feel anxious when others don’t rely on you
• You step in to “save” people even when it hurts
you
• You struggle to ask for help
• You equate your value with your usefulness
• You feel lost without someone to take care of
This isn’t just overgiving — it’s survival. And it’s often rooted in childhood wounds, trauma, or fear of abandonment.
At Zen-Sai, we help you learn how to love without losing yourself.
You’re allowed to matter even when no one needs you.
