Hello!
The questioner felt a strong sense of tension when writing this text, and they were excited to share it with us!
You have seen, and in the face of current intimate relationships, a cycle of patterns from your family of origin has emerged. This is an amazing opportunity for you to sort through the dilemmas you faced in your family of origin and help yourself!
It takes a lot of courage to do self-analysis, but it's worth it!
In your heart, you have the opportunity to heal the thorns caused by your original family.
You mentioned the past, and I'm excited to be able to accompany you and take care of yourself!
You mentioned the past, and I'm so excited to be able to accompany you and take good care of yourself!
1. As an "older sister," you've got some scars in your life, but you're still going strong!
You are a person, a life, and you need the care of your parents as you grow up—and you will get it!
But in order to gain recognition, they are offered a quid pro quo: they must be nice to their younger brothers. A weight of 10,000 catties is placed on their minds, but they are up for the challenge!
If your mother is democratic and open-minded, and doesn't interfere or make awkward demands, a girl with a kind nature will be friendly towards her brothers—and it'll be a beautiful thing to see!
It's that excessive demand and every possible means of demanding that make you feel humiliated and collapse—and it's time for a change!
"Trying desperately to be nice to your brother," "putting your brother first in everything," and "being forced to make sacrifices." I can truly empathize with how you feel, and it's heartbreaking. But you're going to get through this!
"Others have persuaded me to give in to my mother." You have chosen to confide in others in order to gain the understanding you deserve, and you will gain it! Instead of being lectured, you will learn to love your mother.
Oh, if only they could see that it's because you love your mother and don't want her to cry or be angry that you sacrifice yourself again and again, to the point where in many cases you lose yourself and feel sad in private!
People love the idea of filial piety, but they're afraid of being blamed and causing trouble. This is an excessive worry on the part of others.
Absolutely! We can totally understand the principle of filial piety towards one's parents.
At the same time, you get to distinguish yourself from your mother and understand how important a bright heart is!
2. The exciting journey of gaining and losing in intimate relationships
You mentioned that you are not yet self-sufficient, which seems to mean that you are not currently living independently and are not yet old enough to work and earn money. Is that how it should be understood?
I'm so excited to hear more about your journey!
Treating him as more important than yourself is a great way to show your love and appreciation!
One of his looks, a tone of voice tinged with resentment, can trigger the pattern of facing the people in your family of origin. But here's the good news: if you're satisfied, you'll be fine!
It's time to stop the pattern of "if you're satisfied, you'll be fine," and take your time!
It's time for a fresh start! Let's form a new model for our response to relationships. Let me think, what are my needs?
That's what makes relationships so exciting! They're all about flexibility.
For example, eating two meat buns for breakfast every day would become boring in an era of plenty. But here's the thing: people would then not really appreciate how happy they were to have meat buns to eat!
But if this meat bun is worth it, you'll be happy you made the trip! You'll get to stand in line and buy it once a month at the end of the month, and you'll enjoy the process.
The great news is that you don't need to meet the other person's needs without restraint.
Instead of immediately responding to your partner's needs as soon as you hear them, take your time to consider them. It's a great idea!
Take it easy! Take a moment to catch your breath.
Think about what you need!
The answer to this question may not be the same in every moment, but the mainstay is you! When you give yourself time to think, the relationship may also develop in the direction you need.
I'm so excited to tell you all about the amazing benefits of having a sense of relaxation in your relationship! When we attach more and more importance to our relationships, we tend to overdo it, and the other person will feel a lot of pressure. This creates resistance, so it's really important to make sure you're taking care of yourself and your partner.
Let the relationship develop naturally! Sometimes, take a step back and let the other person take the lead. And sometimes, don't be afraid to speak up and share your needs.
Balancing a relationship is challenging, but it's also one of the most rewarding things you can do! As you gradually emerge from the shadow of your family of origin, you will discover the world's many wonders and embrace the challenges with an optimistic outlook.

I understand that feeling of losing yourself in a relationship. It's like you're pouring all your energy into someone else, hoping it will fill a void, but instead, it just leaves you more empty. It's important to remember that loving yourself is not selfish; it's necessary for your wellbeing. Maybe it's time to set some boundaries and reclaim your personal space.
It sounds like you've been carrying this heavy burden for so long, always putting others first and neglecting your own needs. The pressure from your family to be the perfect sister must have been overwhelming. In your current relationship, you might be recreating this pattern because it's familiar, even if it's not healthy. Try to take small steps towards selfcare and see how it can gradually change your life.
Sometimes we get caught up in what we think we should be doing, based on everyone else's expectations. But at the end of the day, you have to live with yourself. Your worth isn't determined by how much you sacrifice or please others. Finding balance means also investing in yourself and recognizing your intrinsic value. It's okay to prioritize your own growth and happiness.
It's heartbreaking to hear that you feel so lost and distant from your own desires. Relationships should support your individuality, not overshadow it. Perhaps this is a moment to reflect on what truly makes you happy and start making choices that honor your inner voice. You deserve to nurture your own spirit and find peace within yourself.
