Another amazing read Zalman!! So much of this resonated for me! I struggled with over thinking most of my life...it's only recently that I am not engaging in that as much...I mean I still occasionally fall back into that mode but nothing I can't get my way out of!! Everything you wrote here is so true...people pleasing isn't a personality traits!! Its a survival mechanism...most people will take thorough advantage of that...but every so often someone will absolutely refuse your efforts to please...at first it felt terrifying...I remember thinking how can I relate to you if I can't please you 😅 honestly I don't know if anyone else has ever experienced something like that.. where someone is just like flat out not having it...I have only run into 1 perosn in my whole life who refused to allow it...now I understand why! I still think about how odd normal felt...when your used to toxic or unhealthy things normal feels soo uncomfortable and so foreign
