People pleasing is the ultimate betrayal of self.
How do I permanently remove people pleasing. I thought I was getting past it but upon further reflection I realized I simple started being avoidant in order to dodge situations where I might be asked for something. This is not the same.
I’m at a point where my internal frame sees the behavior and I know I don’t want to do this or that or believe saying no thanks is best but the actual expression of this internal mindset is proving to be really difficult. I tend to fold in the moment or act eager to solve the problem and I hate myself for it. Is it just that old habits die hard or what.
I’m trying to think would help with this. I should have added The Boundary to this custom at the very least. A lot of the agitation I feel today is apparently related to this. I am wrestling with how to be kind and Christ like yet selfish in a healthy way and protective of my peace without feeling the pure guilt within for wanting to disconnect from everyone and tell people to Eff off. I have imagined scenarios over the top of me just going off on ppl I know and not just saying no but unleashing a rage. This is a pretty big sign that I’m too weak and scared. Internally I’m so fed up, how the Eff do I externally manifest this growing frame in a way that shows maturity and strength, because right now it feels like an immature, chaotic anger ready to destroy every connection I have.
I guess this is all growth but at the same time not really because I fold everytime a situation manifests…it’s pissing me off.
Got my haircut and beard lined up. Total came to $60 which was unexpected because the barber previously said he would hook me up, it’s been a month since that conversation so I can’t really expect him to remember I guess but I paid the 60 and left without tipping. I’m sitting in the car and this fucking guilt is just hitting me. So I take $10 from money dedicated to something else, walk back in and gave it to him. I felt submissive as hell doing it, like I was trying to make up for doing something wrong.
Don’t get me wrong the guy is damn good and worth the money, cool dude
the issue is with me. Why did I feel guilty? Why didn’t I bring up the implied offer he made (maybe I took it wrong) why didn’t I ask what the cost was at the start.
This was just one example that happened today. This shit has got to stop. Even with the post above with my ‘friend’, I immediately apologized when he let me know his disappointment with me at that party. Granted I did speak inappropriately but again the conversation turned submissive, I give away what power I project and it’s literally automatic from doing it so long.
I keep betraying myself for people. The female covert narcissist I removed from my life only after years of abuse because I felt no worth. What happens is most ppl swing from one extreme to the other and I’m afraid of becoming a raging asshole, that never ends well. Honestly I’d probably just end up self sabotaging my life before I lashed out because I’m too much of a pussy to exert boundaries and hold steady in confrontation. I’ve always been someone to walk away, fawn(pacify/please) to keep peace or avoid.
Is Emperor helpful for this?, I remember Michel saying Ascension helped and I assume the foundational stuff in Ascension was incorporated into Emperor. Not sure if Love Bomb deals with boundaries. I have Rogue module in the Synergy: At the Top, maybe that’s the influence that is making me want to unleash on ppl.
I can’t keep living like this…not to mention the dissociative depersonalization symptoms I deal with. Why is everything so good and so bad…I could use a win soon.
