“The savior complex manifests differently for everyone, but for the most part it's a form of self-sabotage hidden in helping someone else... A desperate need to be understood by people who continue to show you that they barely understand themselves will shackle you to the most emotionally debilitating situations. But it's often deeper than just wanting to be understood. A lot of us want to feel needed, because with that comes a sense of purpose outside of ourselves.” — Chidera Eggerue
