When Your Partner Says You're Overreacting: A Warning Sign
The Situation
"He said I'm overreacting to valid concerns"
The Brutal Truth
He’s dismissing your feelings to maintain control and avoid accountability. Your concerns are valid, and his inability to listen reflects deeper insecurity or manipulation. This is a red flag that your emotional needs aren’t being prioritized.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person might try to prove their validity by over-explaining concerns, hoping he'll change his mind. This is wrong because it puts your worth in his hands, diluting your own instincts and self-respect.
