I can relate. Most of my life has been about pleasing others. I'm still trying to unlearn this. I'm always there for people but don't see them in my trying hours.
Oh! I really enjoyed this piece! You guys did a great job collaborating on such an important topic. I’ve seen so many times people who have lived their entire professional lives for someone else, never enjoying their work, or completely burning out. This really hits close to the heart for me.
Thank you so much for reading and sharing this. It really means a lot.
You’re right, so many of us are waking up to the cost of living a life shaped by others’ expectations. It’s not easy to unravel, but these conversations help us feel less alone in it.
Takes me back to a scroll line: They taught me silence tastes like gold, I swallowed dreams and did what’s told. No questions asked, just protocols. https://www.thehiddenclinic.com/p/scroll-of-grief-and-longing

I hear you. That ache of always showing up for others and feeling unseen when you need support, it’s so real, and so heavy.
Unlearning people-pleasing is hard, especially when it once felt like survival.
Sending you so much compassion as you keep choosing yourself, one small moment at a time. You’re not alone.
