The identity that plays a good person

Are you tired of playing a "good person" in response to the expectations of those around you?

Actually, the identity of that "good person" may not be kindness * * "excessive defense response to being disliked" * *.

Are you ready to use up your limited energy for others?

Saying "no" is an important step towards saying "yes" to yourself.

I would be happy if it would be an opportunity for you to shift from "other axis" to "self axis."

Please save it as a talisman so that you can look back when your heart is tired 📚🌿

Relationship troubles Eliminate the difficulty of living Self-affirmation # mental _ care # take care of yourself

... Read more私自身も長い間「いい人」を演じることで、いつの間にか自分の気持ちを後回しにし、疲れ果ててしまった経験があります。周囲から好かれたいという気持ちが強すぎて、嫌われることに対して過剰に反応し、防衛的な態度をとってしまうことはよくあることですよね。 実際に、過剰な「いい人」演じは心のストレスとなり、自分らしさを失う原因になります。そんな時、自分の気持ちを大切にし、自分に正直になることがとても重要だと感じました。記事でも触れられているように、意外かもしれませんが「No」と言うことで逆に周囲との信頼関係が深まることも多いです。 私の場合、まずは小さなことから「No」を言う練習をしました。例えば、無理な誘いを丁寧に断る、やりたくない仕事は他の方法を提案するなどです。すると、相手も意外に受け入れてくれることが多く、自分への信頼が高まる感覚を体験しました。 また、「いい人」を演じる背景には、『役に立たないと見捨てられる』という生存本能が深く関係していると気づきました。その認識を変え、自分はそのままで価値があると自分自身に言い聞かせることが大切です。 ひとりの人間として「自分軸」に立つことは、時に怖く感じるかもしれませんが、その先にある自由で優しい生き方は何にも代え難いものです。心が疲れた時にこの記事をお守り代わりに読み返し、自分を大切にする挑戦を続けてみてください。

Start Acting Like the Person You’re Becoming
Most people wait until they feel confident before they act. But confidence doesn't come first. Identity does. Think about it. A healthy person chooses healthy foods because that's who they believe they are. A kind person shows kindness because it's part of their identity.

you are becoming the person you pretend to be.
that's not an accusation. that's the mechanism. identity isn't something you discover. it's something you practice. the version you perform under pressure. the one that shows up when you're uncomfortable. when it would be easier to collapse back into the old shape.

I think Cassie was in love with Diddy. Yes, there was a huge age gap, and I’m sure that at the beginning, he was the kindest, sweetest creature to her. He probably showered her with a kind of love she had never experienced before — the type that feels intoxicating, overwhelming, and deeply personal
