Seeking approval and for the family to be proud of me. I don't do that anymore and I'm more at peace for it.
It's not important for everybody to like you. Your peace of mind is worth more.
Still trying to stop being a people pleaser.
@Mindfulness I did that a few years ago ...it's linked to co dependency...I always had this need to want to help everyone..but then it can turn into enabling them and making things worse ...I still care and still help but I learned the right way to do this...takes time to put it into practice
@Chern0bylplaygr0unds I really struggle with wanting to do everything for everyone. I don't know if it's a need to be liked or valued. One of my many therapists has said it's possibly linked to my parents messy and violent divorce.
All I know is that it's a really difficult mindset to get out of.
@Mindfulness That makes sense

@Chern0bylplaygr0unds but in serious, unlearning to worry about those who hate you. People hate the sky being blue

People aren't one thing. They are complicated and one thing shouldn't define them...(I mean excluding toxicity and evil, then we run)
@fun4us2b Yes of course

To trust people.

People aren't to be trusted. That has been my biggest mistake. In my mind now, people are guilty until proven innocent.

I had to unlearn some passive aggressive tendencies. To this day, it takes some effort to quash the urge to make pointed, sarcastic comments.
@graceyyy some sarcasm is warrented
I'm learning now to not chase people. Not for love, friendship, communication, nothing. If they don't like you, you can't make them like you, you don't have to figure them out and you don't owe them an apology.
