Feeling Used

When we feel taken advantage of by people, it can leave us feeling bitter. Can developing self-love mean we need less appreciation from others?

When we feel taken advantage of by people, it can be very hurtful and leave us feeling bitter. Giving a lot to our friends can come with the expectation that the same is offered in return. This is the experience of Jacob, from India. He speaks to Sister Dang Nghiem who suggests that through giving to ourselves and developing self-love, we find we need less appreciation from others.

Presented by the BBC's Sana Safi.

Produced by Charlie Taylor and Ruth Edwards.
