Your Type
If you sense even a hint of displeasure, your default reaction is to immediately compromise, sacrificing your own boundaries and needs to soothe them. This pattern of "using extreme compliance to handle conflict" actually reflects your extreme fear of "being abandoned and unloved"; you firmly believe that "being loved requires being obedient", fearing that showing even a little self-assertion will make them withdraw their love, so you use "bottomless fawning" to desperately hold onto the relationship. But what you buy with grievance isn't true love, only pity. Try saying "I don't want to do this" in a gentle but firm tone next time they make an unreasonable request; when you learn to defend your own worth, you will earn equal respect.

'Fawning' is the fourth trauma survival response (alongside fight, flight, freeze). By abandoning self-boundaries to ensure relationship safety, one easily falls into toxic relationships.
