We spend a lot of time and energy in efforts to be liked—changing who we are and abandoning our authenticity to be accepted by those around us.
Although small moments of self-abandonment may not feel like a high price to pay for the feeling of belonging, these moments can add up to you living a life that's not entirely your own.
When you don't know how to cope with being disliked, you find yourself stuck in a pattern of self-abandonment influenced by those around you. Learning how to cope with being disliked is essential to liberating your authentic self and giving yourself permission to be who you truly are.
Listen to this episode for more insights into why you're self-abandoning in the first place and how to support yourself in accessing the courage to be disliked.
