About this episode
In today’s episode, I’m answering a listener’s question on how to stop taking things so personally. This is something a lot of us struggle with, and can lead us to internalise others’ behaviour in ways that damage our self-esteem and exacerbate our suffering.
We’ll cover:
- Why you might take things personally
- The link between people pleasing and taking things personally
- How to approach these situations differently
