You're having the same experiences just with different people. It's easy to be hard on yourself because you have been practicing that for such a long time. Started at blaming yourself for what happened to you and continue to this day. Synapses in our brain have wired that as "normal". That's why it is challenging to shift thought patterns on your own. You can create a new normal with consistency. Embrace the challenge. Even if it doesn't seem like it, it is worth it. Challenging doesn't mean impossible. How do I know? Because I was a people pleaser I hardly ever said no. I mean, I'm capable, right? I Never wanted anyone upset with me I wondered why what I wanted always dodged me I would've rather become invisible than to ask for something P.S. When you think about what we've gone through, it makes sense, right? We prepare for disaster. That's what we do without even thinking about why. It is worth penetrating the pain to strip the discomfort and shift our spirit, body & brains to the other side because THAT is where your #WIN lives. If you don't get this, honor where you are on your journey 👍. But if you feel this, I'm talking to you. Let's STRIPShift.
