The question that changed me was: “Why are you creating little versions of other people in your mind to create bad thoughts about yourself?”

This really ate. I’ve dealt with being a people pleaser for sooooo long in friendships & relationships! And in the last 2-3 years I’ve been working my way out of that habit and not trying to control how people perceive me. Because like you said, it’s SOOO DRAINING & EXHAUSTING! But this really opened my mind up to questions that I’ve never asked myself.

One that changed me is ppl make opinions on things they don’t know all the time, so their opinion on you doesn’t mean they truly know you.

When you say “trying to get people to have the right story about who I was” about your people pleasing, do you mean - trying to get them to see you in the image/role you thought they’d like/approve of (so you were adapting)? Or showing your true, authentic self but trying to get them to see the ‘right’ story around it, as in wanting them to see your muchness as your magic? Thanks for sharing this!!

Yessss!!! That’s their story about you, their projections, their triggers, it’s not about us.

The Grim Reader :
There is a different version of me living in the heads of everyone I know. That’s too much to manage… also, someone else’s version of me is based on their own life experiences, so it doesn’t really seem worthwhile to control that version of me

Not everyone will understand your journey, and that's okay. Your worth isn't determined by someone else's perception. 💛

The Good Woman Myth :
Even having come to these same realizations, I still have to constantly remind myself. It’s a very hard thing to unlearn when it’s been embedded for so long! It’s a practice!

kookoo2816 :
I also just came to this exact realization last week! I’m not worried if people like me or not, I’m worried if their perception of me is inaccurate in a way that will have negative consequences. If I hurt your feelings on accident but you think I did it on purpose, you might spread rumors or punish me in some social fashion…but if people are always “pleased”, they are unlikely to ever have a reason to retaliate against their false perception of you. Thats also why I over explain my intensions all the time.
