Don't Compromse Who You Are

autonomy people pleasing relationships stress

How have you been feeling?

If a relationship is leaving you feeling stressed or unsure, it may be because you feel you have to compromise on your values or give up some of what you feel makes you who you are at your core.

If you grew up in a family where your needs were seen as unimportant and you were asked to suppress those needs in order to please others, you may relate to what it is like to feel you need to be a people pleaser.

Of course, all relationships require some compromise but it is important to look inward to see if you are compromising on a value that is too important for you to release.

For example, if you value autonomy but have been giving up that autonomy in order to help another feel they are more in control you may be compromising on this important value of autonomy. If you are making yourself uncomfortable so that other can feel more comfortable, that may be the cause of stress or uncertainty.

For me, it shows up more like feeling distracted because that was how I learned to cope with a situation where my needs were seen as unimportant in my family of origin, by distracting myself.

Just noticing that I feel distracted and asking myself why I might be feeling this way is often really helpful.

I'd love to know your thoughts or experiences on this. Please share!❤️
