The Courage To Be Disliked: Stop People-pleasing
Do you find yourself exhausted from trying to keep everyone happy? Maybe you’re constantly walking on eggshells, overthinking every interaction (anxious attachment), or perhaps you maintain a perfect facade while keeping everyone at arm’s length (avoidant attachment).
I’ve been there – trapped in the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing from my own anxious attachment. But here’s the truth I discovered: the key to finding genuine love and deep connections isn’t about being liked by everyone. It’s about having the courage to be disliked by some.
People-pleasing often is a survival strategy – maybe we had unpredictable parents, faced difficult situations, or learned early that keeping others happy was the safest path, and our ability to read emotions and adapt wasn’t just helpful, it was necessary for survival.
The goal isn’t to completely eliminate our people-pleasing tendencies but to develop the wisdom to know when to use these skills consciously and when to prioritize our own needs, transforming what was once automatic survival into thoughtful choice.
