Overfunctioning Isn’t Love, It’s Fear: How Overgiving Became a Survival Strategy

This week on My Healing Is Your Healing, we’re talking about over-functioning—the kind that gets praised, rewarded, and mistaken for love, loyalty, and effort, but is actually anxiety in motion. Many of us were never taught how to rest in relationships. We were taught how to hold everything together. How to anticipate needs. How to manage emotions. How to make ourselves useful, easy, and indispensable so we wouldn’t be left. Over-functioning often looks responsible, caring, and mature on the outside. On the inside, it’s a nervous system trying to stay safe by doing more, carrying more, and compensating for what isn’t being met. In this episode, we unpack: • What over-functioning really is and why it’s so hard to see • How it shows up in relationships, friendships, work, and family dynamics • Why effort gets confused with love • The hidden cost of being the “low-maintenance” one • How over-functioning erodes intimacy, desire, and reciprocity • What actually happens when you stop carrying the whole relationship This conversation is for the woman who is exhausted, resentful, and quietly wondering why it feels so hard to be supported—while feeling guilty for even asking. Over-functioning doesn’t create love. It creates compliance. And when you stop doing it, relationships either rebalance or reveal themselves. Both are information.
