Woman Reflects on Overgiving to Men Who Made Little Effort

A woman has reflected on what she calls her past “pick-me” behaviour in relationships. She said she often went out of her way to please men she liked, even when they made little effort in return. She recalled buying one man a shirt while shopping for her younger brother, then later giving him an expensive perfume despite never receiving flowers or gifts from him. She said she eventually realised she was not leaving room for the men to reciprocate. Her experience has changed how she approaches relationships, and she now avoids doing too much simply because she likes someone.
