A moment taught you that being yourself was dangerous: someone went quiet, left, or the room shifted. Your brain encoded a rule that's still running. What room taught you that?

Chapters

There was a moment before the people pleasing was a habit. There was a moment when being too much cost you something. Maybe someone went quiet. Maybe someone left. Maybe the room just changed. Your gut brain filed a rule that day: being too much equals danger. Make yourself smaller equals safe. And you have to been running that rule in rooms that never were really that dangerous. What was the room that taught you that? Describe it in one sentence. You were not too much. You weren't in that room that couldn't hold you. The person in your life who makes themselves small in every room, they learned that somewhere too.
