Have you ever asked yourself, "Why are my relationships failing?" Maybe you need to know how to let go of dysfunctional relationships. If you're anything like me, you can relate to putting a lot of work into relationships, but it doesn't always pay off. Often, when I give too much work in a relationship, everything goes well until I need something in return. This happens because of overcompensation. We tend to try too hard to overcompensate in a bad relationship. What's wrong with trying? While trying is good, overdoing it isn't. In this video, I'll share how to recognize overcompensating behaviour and three ways to overcome it to maintain good relationships.

👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!
If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!
I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30.
Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know.
Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person.
Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.

I often overcompensate for relationships/friendships which are not worth it. People do not appreciate the effort I go to, to make a genuine friendship. I am often invisible, or simply taken for granted.

@constancemartin933 13 дней назад

But then, I wonder if that's a "genuine" relationship.. Genuine relationships don't require that only one person does all the work.. I like what Paul had to say.. I hope he does make that second video with perhaps more suggestions or examples of how to get out of that cycle if trying too hard..

If you're going in giving too easy to people that don't put any effort, you attract people that use take. hold back be overly generous people respect those that respect themselves when your giving at your expense sacrificing to someone that don't deserve people will take you for granted and take advantage. Things are appreciated more when not expected if your seen as a pushover if you just give freely to everyone even those that did not earn people won't see value in your time effort. You need to say no sometimes value your time. give space to allow them to come to you

I severely overcompensate in my friendships and relationships. Currently I'm single and invest waaaaaaaay too much time in a friendship with someone I have hoped for a year will turn into a relationship, but he is incredibly dysfunctional and emotionally unavailable, so I constantly try and find ways to see each other or talk every day...knowing full well if I stop, that friendship will die. But I think "something is better than nothing" even to my detriment. Thanks so much for this video.

@lori10155 9 дней назад

I've been in a similar situation for the past year and I recently ended the friendship after I finally told him my feelings, he told me he doesn't want a relationship with me and wants to be 'best friends'. I was devistated because I had invested so much emotional energy into the relationship only for it to not be reciprocated. If we ever have contact again it will be as acquaintances, as I can never go back to putting in the effort I was before. Trust me it's not worth it, and the longer you go on the more it will hurt if or when it ends

@anyascelticcreations 13 дней назад

I had no idea how much I overcompensate until I watched this video. I especially agree with the part about the more we value a relationship the more likely we are to start overcompensating because we are afraid of letting it go. Side note, I just found out last night that my, I don't know, "person" has another woman that he is involved with and has moved into his home. (We were long distance temporarily. ) So I don't really know how to refer to him now. Recently ex-ed fiancée, I guess? Anyway, he overcompensates by nature, too. And he gets taken advantage of by just about everyone. Which is probably part of why we got along so well. We both gave everything that we could and neither was taken advantage of. Well, except my trust, I guess.

@BXLrules 13 дней назад

This video is extremely helpful to me. My relationships fail and I lose years of being lovesick afterwards, trying to understand what went wrong, looping it in my head. This takes a huge toll on my health. for years in therapy I constantly heard the same thing, it was an attachment disorder, but no solutions were offered. last year I got diagnosed with adhd, now I'm convinced to be autistic, as medicating the adhd brought many of the traits to light. I'm desperately trying to understand myself, it feels like starting from scratch after a life of fighting and suffering. Videos like this one make me feel understood, they're of tremendous value for me trying to heal myself. thank you.

@CatsInHats-S.CrouchingTiger 13 дней назад

It’s not wrong to be helpful to others. It’s not wrong to desire to be your best and to make the effort. Sometimes, others may not make the effort, but kindness isn’t badly spent. The universe will someday compensate you for what good you do to do others. The only sign that you are giving too much, is when your own body signals to you that you’re overwhelmed, over extended yourself but the only marker of you needing to change your situation, is when you are no longer being appreciated or if you are being taken for granted. It’s always good to remember, that you aren’t a role or a routine. Then others will come to the realization that things can always change and they too learn to respect you and appreciate you.

@YewDuct 12 дней назад

Totally me, amazing. My epiphany came when I had a near fatal accident and my so-called friends didn't even check in with me to find out how my rehabilitation was going. Then, when I started fundraising for a mental health charity through sponsorship to help me find greater motivation for my rehabilitation, guess what? They didn't sponsor me either. I have been setting the bar for considering people friends rather than merely acquaintances far too low, need to become less intense and more of a social butterfly to find people who value me through more exposure to alternatives. So much of this overcompensation also holds true for childhood emotional neglect / complex PTSD, and narcissistic abuse. Fundamentally, I think you're describing the effects of having a preoccupied attachment style. It makes sense, that if you're autistic and undiagnosed, without the understanding, help and support you need, you're going to tend towards becoming preoccupied, even if you had the best parents who didn't punish you for manifesting your autistic traits.

This is healing on a lot of levels. I also think a lot of my ND acquaintance could probably benefit from it too. Sometimes I wonder, when it comes to things like this, how much of my autism is my autism and how much of it is the result of being a misfit in an arbitrarily ND constructed world? Add a dollop of intersectionality and it's even less clear what causes what in my world. Like this overcompensating, the insecurity, it belongs to a lot of people who were othered early. It gives me hope to see it named here and think of us all out here trying to heal and claim our dignity for ourselves and each other. Thanks Paul.

@KateVeeoh 11 дней назад

Thanks for talking about this much overlooked subject, imo! It's usually all about how the (NT) partners handle the relationships, but there's a lot to be said about how we autistic people try to be understood/liked and might overcompensate and prolong less than ideal situations because we don't want crippling loneliness. You hit the nail on the head and you explained it so clearly. As I got older, I've learnt to accept and love myself and to speak my mind (=/= brutal honesty). When I fall into the trap of overcompensating, I can now take a step back and say "hang on, no one is keeping you here, this is a choice you made, how is this choice making you feel?". I only recently went through this again...still have a lot of love for this person, but I hope we can both get in a better place now. It's not attachment issues per se, in therapy I was always seen as a securely attached person. But my autism was completely missed by myself and therapists 😅

@dr.lydiagolub3207 13 дней назад

Great video! I agree that it's important to have relationships based on our "authentic selves" however it is difficult to know how we are perceived by the other person. The excitement of finally finding someone who truly understands me can make me come on too hard with others, and that can make them pull away, and then I get into the cycle of overcompensating. I love what you said, Paul, no matter how good the relationship is, I should remember that I CAN live without it even if I'd rather not

@DanielEffendi1 10 дней назад

This video is so good. I keep watching it over and over. I think its one of the most useful video I ever seen. Im ND and I always fell in this trap. Thanks to you and to this video I will assess my connections from now and so on. I always feel drained. To meet a new friend, cultivate is so draining but also..if things are mutual..is....fun. I always felt the need to have a community or someone that has my values and understand me so whenever there was a nice person, I was "overcompensating", doing efforts, to keep this person. At which costs? Being tired? I was so drained. Again, this video totally opened up my eyes.

@Astro-Markus 13 дней назад

I have quite the share of bad relationships. One of it cost me many years. And I'm afraid, I'm in one again. But this time it's even harder for other reasons to simply let it go.

@BillieGote 13 дней назад

This is such important information! I'm several years now into counseling after massive burnout, and one of the precipitating factors was a psychologically abusive relationship that I failed to fully recognize as abusive. Learning about boundaries and reciprocity is vital to keep oneself from being a flashing neon target for opportunists and predators. There are people out there who look for people like us who give way too much, and they'll soak up our energy until we are a dried-out husk. Sometimes they reel us back in, over and over, as long as we allow it. When it becomes a repeated cycle of Idealize-Devalue-Discard - Hoover & Repeat, end it for your sanity.

@allison4644 8 дней назад

Yes. Sounds like codependency with narcissistic undertones.. Navigating friendships, work environments & family dynamics with healthy boundaries can be challenging. (& That is not even addressing intimacy with a dating/longterm relationship.) Best to know thyself & be true to yourself. Only then, can you truely share yourself with intentional & deliberately chosen healthy choices/behaviours. It takes work from both participants in a relationship for the best results; with reciprocity in a healthy, commited exchange of vulnerability, accountability, & ongoing growth & development.. Hopefully we receive the reward of our labor!

@anyascelticcreations 13 дней назад

For a lot of my life I have been that way too. I almost never have anyone ask too much of me because it's just known that I would say no. I invest very little in anything anymore. (Aside from one major exception) And the reason I am willing to invest very little is because I am not willing to get involved. It just costs too much. But like you, it often leaves me essentially alone.

@SwordmaidenGwen 4 дня назад

I find that the key to a successful relationship is *equal* compensation. If you're trying super hard, that's okay if your partner/friend/family is trying super hard too. Because they'll be showing you as much consideration as you do them, so you get the same happiness and care right back and that gives you the energy to give it back too. It's a balance, too much or too little on either side is bad. Just gotta find someone exactly as earnest as you are, which is hard, but not impossible, I found two in the span of ten years =D I spent years grieving over the reality that trying too hard is a problem. And not just because so many NTs tend to hate earnestness, which I feel tends to overlap with this, but also because it can even make it difficult to find the person who tries at an equal level as you. Your perfect balance partner may look at you and think 'Oh, I cannot keep up with that.' Actively driving them away. So, just be yourself, hang in there and wait for the day you find the person who naturally tries exactly as hard as you naturally do (or don't xD).

Hopefully relationships will become more satisfying and less stressful, except it seems that I'll be starting from scratch.

@carolinejames7257 13 дней назад

Great video Paul, as usual, on a very relatable topic. Overcompensation is a real problem, and not only for autists. In my experience, if you're always there for a friend or loved one who's having a hard time, but they're never there when you need help or support then yes, you're overcompensating. But it's also important to note that they're taking advantage. It's okay if people occasionally say that they're too busy, have too many other commitments, aren't well, or whatever. But if they give those excuses all the time, or even if they're just the norm, then it's an unhealthy relationship. If both sides like hanging out and spending time together, and neither side invests in supporting the other, that's okay. If both sides do, that's awesome. What's unhealthy is an imbalance of time and/or energy. This is a problem I've long been aware of, but you've given me a new framework in which to put it, and new language to talk about it, so thank you.

@melam9508 12 дней назад

I like that you´re mentioning that it is relevant who you´re interacting with. Maybe there are people who always appreciate us even if we allow ourselves to be emotionally dependent on the relationship with them instead of feeling ready to "let them go" at all times. I would like to experience this deep mutual trust. If it breaks down, I´ll have to let go anyways, but why hold back from being fully in it to begin with? And then blaming myself for giving it my all instead of being grateful that I did give it my all and recognizing that the other person just wasn´t the right person to receive it and didn´t give their all to me. Being authentic is important though, and probably part of giving it all instead of hiding parts, so I like that the video focuses on overcoming the fear of fully expressing ourselves and our needs. Trusting that the right people will stay and if not they were not the right people or only meant to be in my life temporarily is how I like to frame it I think.

Hey, speaking of compensating, I have a question. I saw this happen in the hall near my brother's wedding reception. A female banquet manager was upset with a caterer, who had signed up for a one-person shift. She said she didn't think he could successfully do the service alone. She was sternly all, "I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen. You need someone there to give you instructions and guide you." And then the caterer said, "You know, I'm beginning to see why you manage wedding and receptions." Does his comeback mean she's compensating for her unmarried life?

No. He is not criticising her being unmarried. He is recognizing her managing & delegating "orders" meaning instructions of what needs to be done to make the wedding reception successful. She is advising him of his need to plan more thoroughly how to manage time/staff to cater (prep, setup, serve, cleanup..) for the reception. It seems it was too much for 1 person in 1 shift?

@@allison4644 i didn't mean the _wedding reception_ was a one person shift. I meant the one-person shift was _another_ shift, for another day. And actually, I think it was some sort of lunch for a business group. I just heard about it _at_ my brother's wedding receptoin Based on this clarification, do you now think it was an unmarried roast?

I hope to be able to put into words the beauty and purity of the autistic spirit. Last week I was responsible for a patient who was stabbed seven times by his daughter. He was fortunate that she missed his vital organs, yet he still lost a lot of blood and will have to live with irreversible organ dysfunction. ‘He had an amazing surgeon.’ His words. Yet what touched me was his attitude towards it all. His heart is so kind and he is full of energy, even post op. He talks in the most charming formal manner and recites poetry that he wrote. Tears poured down my eyes. His 9-year old granddaughter made him a painting way ahead of her age. I asked him his secret, to which he replied it was his love for the Lord. He is a man of God and it shines through his intelligent and inquisitive eyes.

Secure well being and housing. Walk on eggshells or authority will put you outside. Now your over compensating or taking losses for speaking out. American politics is terrible

I thought about subscribing to have a relationship with this channel, and realize you are having the same with thousands of others. Another sell out.

Turn off notifications, and set your bedtime timer on your phone, you won't be bothered by this stuff after. Just a tip.

Great suggestions above. A 3rd way is to press and hold the notification to bring up the delivery options: Deliver silently, or turn them off. You can be subscribed, with notifications off for that channel. RU-vid will still show subscribed content in your feed when you open the app -- it just won't notify you, so you only see it when you go look.
