Not feeling enough for anyone. All my life I have just been trying to validate myself in front of my dad, who I feel doesn’t even understand me or is not even ready to listen to my point. Was watching a video on being a people pleaser (which I am, unfortunately) which said that people pleasing comes when one as a kid was not accepted when they were being themselves, and that hit home. I feel so bad and guilty while writing this, but I think it is because of my dad. Is it right to blame him for this?
Just be yourself more. Just breathe.
You do you. Suno sabki but karo apni.
Maybe it did stem from your father. If you go your whole life being told or shown that you aren’t enough then it makes sense to have a… almost need to prove yourself to people, to finally show that you are enough and that you are good. I know its hard but I would try to start doing things that are going to validate yourself, and then worry about others. I understand what you are going through and I am so sorry. Please keep going there are people out there that will make you feel like more than enough.
True, thank you!
