Saying yes to everything isn’t kindness; it’s self-abandonment.
In this episode of Dear Young Person, we talk about why constantly bending over backwards for others often comes from an unhealthy need to be liked, and how that pattern slowly erodes your peace, identity, and joy.
I share my own struggle with being a “yes-man”, saying yes out of fear of disappointing people, overextending myself, and ending up unhappy while everyone else stayed comfortable. Over time, I learned that setting boundaries isn’t selfish, it’s necessary.
This episode is for you if you:
feel guilty saying no
overcommit out of fear of rejection
are exhausted but don’t know how to stop
think boundaries make you a bad person
If you’ve been saying yes at the cost of yourself, this episode is for you.
