When You're the One Who Always Disappears

Some relationships leave you feeling smaller than when you entered them — not because of one dramatic event, but gradually, through a thousand small moments in which your needs were overlooked, your perceptions were questioned, or your feelings were treated as inconvenient. This series is an attempt to name some of those experiences. Not to tell you what they mean or what to do about them — but because sometimes simply finding the words is the first step toward seeing the whole picture more clearly.
