Quotes

  • Sofiahas quoted3 years ago
    We allow friends, employers, and significant others—not ourselves—decide how valuable we are.
  • Sofiahas quoted3 years ago
    But when a child does something to irritate or anger them, a parent or guardian might express disapproval, possibly through punishment. We then understand their love as conditional. If we don’t behave how our parents want, we sense they’re rejecting us. We may perceive them as being emotionally unavailable or at best only occasionally available.

    People-pleasers promise to do everything for anyone—even if they hate it or are lying
