Likeable - How I Broke Free From The Need To Please

'I need this book. It doesn't matter how much I lie to myself - I can't avoid the fact I desperately want to be liked' - Paloma Faith<BR><BR>Do you worry about what other people think of you? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why?<BR><BR>For too long, our value and self-worth have been tied to pleasing others. We've dimmed our true selves to fit in - no matter the cost. But there's always a cost. People-pleasing and staying likeable means suppressing our feelings, words, actions, and desires, and there's only so much we can conceal before it all unravels.<BR><BR>Throughout my life, I've morphed into who others needed me to be, taken on too much responsibility for other people's sh*t, put myself down, and stayed quiet - all in the hope of being liked. But no more. Now, I'm asking: What do I want? ... And do I even like myself?<BR><BR>This book holds a light up to all the times I wish I'd broken free of the worry cycle, said goodbye to the 'good girl' attitude, and put happiness first. I wrote it so you can do the same. You can't please everyone. So let's stop trying.<BR><BR>Fearne x
