Series 5: Borderline in Wonderland - Emotions like storms. Love like fire. A heart that’s too big for this tiny teacup world.
E108: Please Like Me, Please Approve Me
In this episode of Wonderland Unlocked, we sit with the aching need for approval—the quiet (or not-so-quiet) plea so many of us with BPD carry: Please like me. Please tell me I’m enough.
Whether it shows up as people-pleasing at work, craving praise from authority figures, or feeling crushed by neutral feedback, this episode unpacks the deep longing for validation that can shape our self-worth.
We’ll explore where this need comes from, how it plays out in professional and personal spaces, and how to begin untangling our value from others’ approval—without shaming ourselves for wanting connection.
