The Persona Is Eating You Alive (Jung on People Pleasing)

Описание: You keep calling it kindness. You keep calling it loyalty. But if you are honest, a lot of your yes answers are not love. They are fear. Fear of tension. Fear of being misunderstood. Fear of losing your place in the room. This is how people pleasing becomes self betrayal, and why it leaves you exhausted in a way sleep cannot fix.

Jung would call it the persona taking the wheel. A polished social mask that keeps you accepted, while your real anger, refusal, and desire get pushed into the shadow. Epictetus would call it confusion of roles. You start carrying what was never under your control, other people’s moods, reactions, and disappointment. Nietzsche would expose the final consequence. When you cannot express your will directly, it turns inward. It becomes resentment. It becomes bitterness. It becomes a quiet contempt for yourself and for the people you keep trying to keep comfortable.

This video is a calm, ruthless diagnosis of how the fawn response and attachment patterns shape your boundaries, your identity, and your self respect. Then it gives you a practice that is not motivational and not performative. A clean way back to truth. A clean way back to the inner citadel.
