How People Pleasing Is Ruining Your Relationships
from Is There More? with Megan A Tully Hosted by Megan A Tully
In part one of my conversation with Cait Starling, we talked about how to find yourself after getting lost in a relationship. In part two, we go deeper into what happens once you find yourself again. Because finding yourself is one thing, but letting someone actually see you is another. This episode is about self-abandonment, people-pleasing in relationships, dating, vulnerability, and why being the “nice guy” or the “good girl” hurts everyone in the end. Cait beautifully explains how people don’t mean to be dishonest. They’re just afraid that if they communicate who they are, what they need, and what they want, they won’t be met with approval. And sometimes, both people are people-pleasing. One person is afraid to ask for what they need, and the other is afraid to say no. So instead of honesty, the relationship gets built on fear, performance, and resentment. Cait and I explore the question: if we all learned how to be a little more clear with ourselves and with each other from the beginning, would most relationships even happen? If you’ve ever lost yourself trying to be easy to love, this episode is for you.
