Beschrijving

Most people aren’t being real. They’re playing a role—at work, in relationships, and even with friends. And most of the time, you don’t even realize it. People say what they need to say, act how they need to act, and present a version of themselves designed to get what they want. But here’s the problem… You think you’re dealing with the real person. You’re not. Once you start seeing it, you’ll notice it everywhere—and you’ll start understanding people on a completely different level.

Most people think being “nice” makes them a good person… But sometimes being too nice is exactly why people take advantage of you. In this episode, we break down the difference between kindness, respect, boundaries, and people-pleasing—and why constantly saying yes, avoiding conflict, and overextending yourself can quietly destroy your confidence and relationships.
