People Pleasing and Lying
Wait a minute? People pleasing and lying? There’s no way they go together, do they? Dear warrior, if you are in a relationship where you feel as if, you have to lie to stay connected to them, this episode is for you!
True friendships and relationships are based on acceptance of and for the other person. mutuality. None of this over functioning, under functioning of codependency...that comes from fear!
Ask yourself this question; do I believe that being a good daughter, a good friend, a good mom, a good sister, a good wife requires me to lie? Well duh susie, no. Okay next question: how often do you not speak up because you think you know how the other person will react or because you think your needs or desires will impact the situation? Warrior! That’s lying!
Furthermore, do you know what people pleasing is? It’s lying warriors! Lying to the other person! When I started to see it that way, as something I was actually doing that brought harm and disconnection to my relationships, it helped me start to say no when I meant no and yes when I mean yes.
