The Fear of Being “Too Much” (Why You Should Stop Shrinking Yourself)

A lot of women spend their lives trying to become smaller versions of themselves. But what if you were never too much to begin with? You stop saying how you really feel, tone down your personality, apologize for your emotions, lower your standards, and convince yourself that being “less” will somehow make you easier to love. In today’s episode of Hot and Unbothered, your host Brianna Gomez talks about the fear of being “too much” and why so many women shrink themselves to feel more accepted. From people pleasing and over-apologizing to hiding your excitement, emotions, and ambition, this conversation will help you stop abandoning parts of yourself just to make other people comfortable. If you’ve ever felt too emotional, too passionate, too sensitive, too loud, or too ambitious, this episode is your reminder that the right people will never require you to become smaller to be loved. 💋 Learn more about your ad choices.
