13 Irrational Beliefs p.41-43 Transforming The Mind
#9. Good relationships are based on mutual sacrifice and a focus on giving.
This belief rests on the assumption that it is better to give than receive, that it is bad or
wrong to be selfish. It is expressed in a reluctance to ask for things, and the assumption that your hidden needs will somehow be divined and provided for. Unfortunately, constant self-denial results in bitterness and withdrawal. The truth is that no one knows your needs and wants better than you, and no one else has as great an interest in seeing them fulfilled. Your happiness is your responsibility.

“Too much self-denial produces bitterness.”
