Where Too Much Comes From

#1 - Where the belief that you are too much comes from. It starts in childhood, learning that your feelings were a burden. You learned to hide the parts of yourself that were not welcome. As you grew older, that conditioning followed you into relationships. But the belief was never about you. It was about people who did not have the capacity to hold you. Think back to the earliest memory you have of feeling like you were too much. What happened? Who was there? What did they say or do that made you feel like your presence was overwhelming? The answer to that question holds the key to understanding where your belief came from. It was not born in a vacuum. It was born in a specific moment, with a specific person, who was unable or unwilling to meet you where you were. That moment became a story that you have been carrying ever since. But here is the truth. That moment does not define you. It defines them. Their inability to hold you says everything about their capacity and nothing about your worth. Let me tell you something important about that memory you just recalled. The moment when you first felt like you were too much was not a moment of truth about you. It was a moment of limitation in someone else. They could not hold your feelings, so they made you feel bad for having them. They could not meet your needs, so they made you feel selfish for having them. That is what happens when people with small capacity encounter someone with a big heart. They do not rise to meet you. They make you feel wrong for being who you are. But you are not wrong. You never were. You were just in the hands of someone who did not know how to hold you. And now, as an adult, you get to decide who gets access to your heart. You get to choose people who have the capacity to hold all of who you are, not just the parts that are convenient for them. Let me also tell you this. The people who made you feel like you were too much were not bad people. They were just limited people.
