Neglected as HSP with dissociation Deni Iseli

The presence of the mental illnesses PTSD, (open and hidden) narcissism, codependency, gaslighting (cunning manipulation technique of hidden narcissism) and TPS in the family I grew up in, has caused every family member to demand attention and love in an excessive way. Everyone needs attention and love. Me too. But as HSP, I don't abuse other people to my own advantage and at the expense of those other people. I am aware of myself and life. Due to the presence of the aforementioned mental illnesses, I gave more attention and love to all my other family members than to myself, without anyone noticing. Now that I am 63 years old and making progress with my therapy, I no longer neglect myself. I am finally guarding my own limits. As HSS, I keep trying and experiencing to be able to estimate how other people really are. Almost everyone asks for attention and love in his own way. Because of my current therapy I am increasingly aware of myself and life. I am satisfied with myself and do not seek attention and love from other people. I no longer neglect myself, because I take care of myself in every respect.
