Resentment

Resentment often signals a need for personal boundaries and self-prioritization. Mark Groves explains that living without boundaries can lead to feelings of unworthiness, as it sends a message that one is not worthy of protection or better treatment 1. He emphasizes that resentment is a mirror reflecting where one needs to choose themselves and set boundaries, even if it initially feels uncomfortable or selfish 1.

Resentment is always a sign where you need a boundary, where you need to choose yourself, where you need to express yourself.

Groves also discusses the "disease of unworthiness," where individuals set unattainable standards for themselves, perpetuating a cycle of feeling inadequate 2.

   

Healing

Healing unworthiness involves setting boundaries and embracing empathy. Mark Groves highlights the importance of deciding which energies to allow into one's life, as this choice is crucial for developing empathy and compassion 3. He suggests that understanding one's emotions and those of others can lead to a more compassionate existence, where personal pain and the pain of others become interconnected 3.

There's a line where who you are dissolves and someone else's pain becomes your pain.

--- Mark Groves

Groves also encourages self-reflection to identify why one might be a match for certain negative behaviors, urging individuals to observe their patterns and question their role in attracting such dynamics 4.
