Calling All My Insecure Party People
How to Defeat People-Pleasing Tendencies and Feelings of Unworthiness
I am a natural extrovert, I love my friends hard- and I enjoy networking and connecting with new people.
I don’t know if it’s living abroad or because I’m getting older, but recently I’ve noticed I’ve started to need alone downtime for the first time ever.
My entire life I’ve been the ‘life and soul of the party’. The gatherer of people. The Monica of the gang- always wanting to host and always wanting her home to be the cozy hub of the community, full of food, games, and TOGETHERNESS. I still am that person.
But underneath it all, there has always been a tiny, almost unnoticeable insecurity.
So. Calling all the confident-on-the-outside socialites, the loud ones, the gatherers, the party people… Do you, like me, sometimes struggle with moments where you think:
Am I enough? Do I look okay? Do they really like me?
It’s exhausting, right?
Over the last year, I’ve been taking the time to focus on my own inner healing. Because you can’t step into the light without facing your own darkness.
