I think I convinced myself I was just “easygoing,” understanding, adaptable, or good at seeing different perspectives. But now I feel like I just became too comfortable being uncomfortable if it meant everybody else could be okay. I’d bite my tongue, overthink how things would affect other people, and adjust myself depending on the environment, all in an effort to try and avoid conflict, tension, disappointment, or misunderstandings before they even happened. And after a while, I got so focused on keeping everybody else emotionally comfortable that I stopped paying attention to how I really felt too. I think that’s why learning yourself can feel so uncomfortable sometimes because you start realizing how much of your life has been spent automatically adjusting instead of actually asking yourself what you need too. #selfawareness #emotionalpatterns #peoplepleasing #innerwork #selftrust
