Start to Like Your True Self and Other People Will, Too.
Start to like yourself. This sounds so simple right?
But itās actually even a bit more complicated biochemically. If you donāt like yourself, youāll subconsciously be attempting to put on āthe nice person showā whenever youāre around people.
Especially people you like and even more especially people who you donāt know well. Youāll attempt to mirror them and be pleasant and agreeable. Inside your mind though, your neurotransmitters will start to go off the charts. Almost like being on excited drugs, youāll talk faster and kind of lose your place as to where you even are and what you think.
Then after the meeting is over, youāll feel deflated and relive the experience and start to berate yourself for saying such silly things or for acting all wacky. That berating wonāt make the next time any easier because youāll have even less confidence.
When you like yourself, truly like yourself, you become grounded in who you are. You know that putting on a nice person show is exhausting and fruitless, and fake.
Youāll evaluate new people based on if you get along well, not on if you can be accepted by them if youāre on your best behavior. If they donāt like you as you are, well good grief better to find out sooner rather than later.
When you really like yourself, you donāt want to be around someone who doesnāt care for you.
