    Fockin sheit. This is me. So nice. Too nice. Always nice. Helpful, understanding, always willing to give up on myself, on my needs and caring for others. Now 46, suffering insomnia, fatigue, migraines, had cancer already at 32. Always tired, so tired that I almost don't have the strenght to move, and still ... forcing myself to cope, to be nice, to help, to work, to solve, to give ...

      Buying love from others, and it never works. Instead, ralize you already are very much loved (the proof is that you are alive and supported by the universe) and from there start to give your love to all, including you. This way you never ever exclude yourself, and the body will start to heal because of this change in perspective. This is the love message for you. 💗

      You have to connect to your true self. If you haven't discovered out how to connect with yourself, living is a difficult and frustrating game. Because contentment is not a function of what we get or how people see us. It shapes our identity, manner of life, and moral character. Others may take away all of your "things," but they cannot take away who you are. You must develop self-love if you want to live a happy life.

    For 40 years I lived my life pleasing others, and had little benefits out of it. People move on and forget how we helped them, unless substantial. Many do not even realise we are helping them.
    Help others but take care of your needs first. This is the lesson I learned.

    Wow this really resonated with me! A lifetime of being a people pleaser, putting everyones needs before my own... cumulated in a chronic disease that took years to get over. I still struggle with self love and care but I think I'm in better place than I was. More recently, two friends stopped talking to me because I put my needs before theirs... first time I ever stood my ground and said no, I can't do that... and they walked away, called me all types of things, caused so much pain and guilt but it made me realise that they weren't my friends in the first place and they were using me the whole time... it was a painful but necessary lesson to learn.

    And its UNFAIR, because we didnt chose to be like this. Someone important to us weren´t giving us the attachment we needed, at a crucial time in our formative years. Which makes us seek it as adults - in a childish way (please love me, give me attention). When we realize this imbalance later, it creates anger, anxiety, depression as an extra punishment. BUT what I didnt understand for many years, I understand now; Learning to love yourself is absolutely possible and it WILL make you stronger and not rely on others for basic emotional needs. Which in turn will make you contribute much more to others, than you have ever done before. Just by being the true authentic YOU. 🥰

Someone told me I should volunteer, no I literally have done that most of my life. I had plans to do something and someone begged me to spend time with him. I had to keep my promise to myself.

    But if it’s to bring GLORY to God, cause He asked me to do something…then the RESULTS are up to Him. The worry of other’s opinions are gone, and there’s a huge PEACE❣️😁 My STRENGTH will be given from the Lord to accomplish the task❣️

    I have spent my life being nice and "catering" to others putting them first and me last. I am so exhausted I have lost ambition and motivation. Spent almost two decades in addiction. I'm finally coming out of it and standing up for myself looking into career change and taking care of myself first before others. It feels strange and selfish to do so but I see now it is a necessary step and I am learning as I go. Thank you for some insight into why I behaved this way it makes sense now.

    I think the problem with overly nice people is that they are subconsciously seeking seeking validation/approval or they're trying to cleanse a guilty conscience for something they did in the past or some type repetitive pathological behavior they know is wrong but continue with it. And unfortunately others can take advantage of this. That's just the nature of selfish people, they use the best parts of human nature for their own advantage, no matter the cost to others.

    Ultimately, what was true for the child is no longer true for the mature adult. He or she finds love within. We are all called upon to grow up and seeing and acknowledging our coping mechanisms is a beginning.
    We are all doing it to ourselves, either being authentic or betraying ourselves in exchange for the approval of others, for security or pleasure of one form or another.

    My narcisist parent told me I was too nice but yet he abuse me. I was able to tell him how I felt all these years and that I forgave him.
    Many relatives were angry because I didnt go to his furneral .I refused to here how great he was etc
    He was flawed.andso I chose to forgive him and free myself. I love my family where they stay. I love the peace and the Grace and Mercy Christ has given me

      Thank you so much for sharing such a personal and meaningful experience with us. Coming to terms with the complex nature of a relationship with a narcissistic parent needs great courage and self-awareness, and your story is really inspirational. Your choice to face your parent about the abuse you experienced and to forgive him, not for his sake but for your own, show your perseverance and inner strength. It's a very personal decision that demonstrates an admirable amount of self-love and healing. Regarding the situation with your family and your decision not to attend your parent's burial, it is important to prioritize your own healing and well-being over external expectations. Everyone's journey is special, and you made the decision based on what you thought was best for you. It reflects your sincerity and dedication to seeking peace and love in your life.
      Remember that forgiveness is a journey, and it is more about letting go of the hold that past pain has on you than it is about approving the behavior of the person who hurt you. Your love for your family, as well as the sense of peace and grace you've discovered, are lovely manifestations of your inner improvement. Thank you for taking the time to tell us your experience. It serves as a reminder that healing is possible, and your courage can inspire others on their own paths of self-discovery and forgiveness.
      Wishing you continuous peace and grace on your journey. Bless you and always take care of yourself 💫💕🙏

    Carl Rodgers springs to mind. Person centred authenticity, unconditional authenticity. But! that’s if you are a trained counsellor. Create a the bridge of authenticity. All humans have it but some times it needs to be brought out in you for you to realise you have it in you. The genuine feeling of respect for another human.

  • @yourinnerchildmatters
    @yourinnerchildmatters  Рік тому +53

    In this video, Gabor Mate explains how we all experience a sense of betrayal when we are not fully ourselves. We can detect when we are being authentic or not. Some people experience an internal voice or sensation that they are betraying their true identities. Because of this, when we are not being real, the body also communicates with us. The body begs for you to stop as it talks, whispers, and finally screams. The "blocks" we encounter along the route are actually the most lovable aspect of ourselves informing us it's not the right path; doing so helps us reconnect with our genuine selves.

    It's hard to be true to yourself. People outside of ourselves can try to influence or interfere with our wellbeing. People can attack others because they are insecure, have low self esteem, or are jealous of what others have. I have found this to be so in my life. I'm in my sixties now.

He is simple saying if you are being nice to the point where your inner soul doesn’t want to do something or an action that seems to be kindness is a people pleaser. On the other hand if you feel good about doing it and it is in line with your soul that is true or authentic kindness as opposed to fake kindness. Fake in the sense that you feel obligated

    Everything Mate said here was correct, but he would've never labeled it "The Dangers Of Being Too Nice". Dr. Mate never used the word "nice". He mentioned "people pleasers." Are you trying to share Gabor Mate or are you trying to make this about having less compassion rather than more compassion? Please don't be one of those asses who try and make being nice a bad thing, some by changing the meaning of the word altogether. Also: Doctor Mate never blames anyone for any behaviour; he's only working on you alone whoever YOU happen to be.
    Although I could be wrong. No harm intended.
