Their Insecurities are NOT Your Responsibility!
You might think you give all your attention to your own insecurities/fears, and the reality is if you are a people pleaser, you spend most of your energy navigating the fears/insecurities of others...
Why do you pour energy into navigating the insecurities and fear of others?
The simple answer is you don’t actually realize you are doing it because you are so use to calming and managing the emotional state of others out of love and care for them.
However, you can’t truly resolve another person’s fears and insecurities so why not focus your energy where you can make a difference?
Insecurities or fears are not something anyone enjoys talking about, so we are going to talk about it all month long.
I thought we would talk about navigating difficult situations in relationships throughout March, and then I realized to successfully navigate a difficult situation in a relationship the underlying insecurities and fears must be addressed or the difficult situation will keep resurfacing again and again.
When you are willing to dive deep into what your fears and insecurities are, you begin to build a confidence and authenticity from within yourself that cannot be shaken by the fears and insecurities of others. You also begin to realize in doing your own inner work that it is pointless to try and manage or fix the fears and insecurities of others.
