Do you feel like your relationships are falling apart, your patience is running low and no one understands you?
Self-Doubt
Self-Doubt can cause a person to lean on others to draw their self-worth creating anxiety and seeking validation while suppressing creativity. Encourage your child, validate their ideas, and encourage them to journal their thoughts and share them with you to reduce self-doubt.
Lack of self-love
A person who thinks and cares about other people more than themselves are said to be another referent. Some people take this quality to the extreme and place the opinions, ideas, and thoughts of other people at high importance and prioritize it over their own selves. Promote positive self-talk, take out time for self-reflection, put their phones away, spend quiet time, and identify what makes them happy.
Sensitive to conflict
People who are extremely sensitive to conflict often end up people-pleasing to avoid more conflict. It becomes difficult for a person like this to see differences and disagreements between people. To avoid it, they start to conform to appease those who are in conflict, compromising their value systems. Encouraging hard conversations, and conflict while difficult improve relationships by getting to a new normal.
Fearing Rejection
This is a big one. Fear of rejection can prevent them from taking bold decisions and health risks. Such a person will refuse to do anything that would render him/ her even mildly isolated by people. They know instant gratification in the world of social media. It's okay to say no to your children.
They pretend to agree with everyone: Let them have an opinion and have healthy discussions, this will help them find their own voice. It is good to listen to everyone’s views, but not speaking about what they believe in compromises their value system and shuts down their vocal cords for life.
They feel responsible for how other people feel: Teach them that your job is not to save the world, but first, take care of yourself. While being empathetic is necessary, everyone is responsible for their own emotions.
They apologize often: Encourage them to apologize if they are wrong, not for having an opinion
They can’t say “no”- Creating Boundaries is essential to creating healthy relationships and increases self-esteem. It's okay to say no.
