Yes acc, there is a pattern and I have been working diligently with my IC on it for approaching two years now, and it is that when my needs are being run over I put them down, deny them, or fail to recognize them in the first place, and then feel resentful without even understanding why.

I have a pattern of feeling bad for disagreeing with something that on the surface seems really nice like my sister's birthday present proposal.

I have a pattern of allowing manipulative people to run over me.

I'm trying to change those things.

What does an implied so there look like, and how does one disagree without it?
