Latest / The Hard Shit We Don't Talk About
Why Do I Want People to Like Me?
Why do we care so much about whether other people like us—and why can one person’s rejection outweigh twenty people’s acceptance?
In this episode of The Hard Sht We Don’t Talk About*, we explore the connection between belonging, safety, people pleasing, and our need for acceptance. We talk about where people pleasing can come from, why someone else’s emotions can start to feel like our responsibility, the masks we wear to fit in, and why not being someone’s “Pepsi” doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.
Other people’s opinions can matter without determining your worth.
