7 Subtle Signs You’re Neglecting Yourself

You feel fine — but these signs quietly say otherwise.

A few weeks ago, something happened that shook me more than I expected.

At first, I told myself I was okay. I stayed busy. Kept things moving.

But slowly — almost invisibly — I stopped showing up for myself.
