@knowclarified tricky, gratitude practices are generally good for mental wellbeing... I think disproportionate gratitude can point to feeling unworthy / lack of self-love... which, the problem is really what's underneath the unworthiness... which might also b what ppl are reading and reacting to, more than the expression of gratitude in itself?
@knowclarified Wrt being walked on, ppl are always subconsciously calculating relative status; some ppl exploit any status gap for maximum short term benefit... boundaries limit what we're willing to risk / give before breaking off the relationship; can be intuitive when we have appropriate self esteem to feel moral outrage at someone taking advantage
