People-pleasing isn’t always about being nice. Sometimes it’s about being so afraid of upsetting others that you end up constantly upsetting yourself.
You say yes when you mean no. Apologise when you’ve done nothing wrong. Over-explain yourself just to avoid being misunderstood.
And somewhere along the way, you mistake keeping everyone happy for being a good person.
Here’s your Headstrong reminder 🧡
You can be kind and still have boundaries. You can care about people and still disappoint them.
Being a good person shouldn’t come at the expense of your own wellbeing.
You matter in the equation too.
