Why do so many people lose themselves when they fall in love?

It rarely happens all at once. Instead, it happens through small compromises, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, and slowly placing someone else's needs, opinions, and approval above your own. What begins as love can quietly become self-abandonment.

In this episode of Sick & Tired Recovery, we explore the deeper reasons behind this pattern. We'll discuss why low self-esteem, insecurity, and self-centered fear can cause us to lose our identity in relationships, the difference between healthy compromise and abandoning yourself, and why healing begins by rebuilding the relationship you have with yourself.

If you've ever found yourself asking, "How did I lose who I am?" this conversation will help you understand why it happened—and how to begin finding your way back.

Healthy love should never require you to stop being yourself.
