When Love Makes You Beg for Attention, Remember Your Worth

A controlling relationship can make someone doubt their worth and depend on a partner for emotional reassurance. Even someone who feels confident and looks after themselves can be affected by this kind of manipulation. You may be losing sight of yourself if you feel pressured to make choices about your body to keep a partner happy, put aside your goals for their needs, beg for attention, or repeatedly apologise for small things. You may also find yourself treating rare affection as proof that everything is fine, or taking unsafe risks just to please them. Your needs and sense of self matter. Consider talking to someone you trust, and seek support if a relationship makes you feel controlled, diminished or unsafe.
