Episode 60 When the Need for Love Is Really the Need to Be Chosen

Why do some people lose themselves the moment they like someone? In this episode, I talk about what happens when attraction turns into performance, when being interested in someone slowly becomes trying to earn their approval. If you’ve ever found yourself becoming overly helpful, too agreeable, too available, or trying to prove your value to someone who never really chose you, this episode is for you. We’re getting into the deeper psychology behind people-pleasing, fear of rejection, fantasy, overgiving, and why the need for love is sometimes really the need to be chosen. This is about self-awareness, self-respect, boundaries, and learning how to stop abandoning yourself just to keep a possibility alive.If you’re tired of chasing, tired of overthinking, and tired of giving too much to people who give too little back, this conversation will help you see the pattern more clearly.For coaching, books, and more, visit joeyfrancess.comTags:need for love, need to be chosen, dating advice, relationship advice, dating psychology, people pleasing in dating, fear of rejection, self respect in dating, overgiving in relationships, attraction and attachment, why people chase love, trying to be chosen, dating coach, Joey Francis, modern dating, dating patterns, emotional availability, boundaries in dating, stop chasing, self worth and dating, fantasy in dating, why they lose interest, approval seeking, insecure attachment, relationship coach, love and relationships
