Our desire to be liked can cause us to say and do things that aren’t in alignment with the way we really feel. While we don’t need to blurt out every silent musing, speaking and acting in alignment with our values, helps us maintain healthy relationships and as positive self-esteem. It’s good to observe ourselves when we’re speaking or taking action to determine whether we’re acting from internal motivations or simply trying to please others. Just becoming aware of the reasons why we do things helps us become more authentic. And that makes us…
More pleasing.
