You do You - E-book - ePub

This is a mercifully short book about a big problem. Sick of feeling emotionally extorted by high-maintenance friendships and soul-sucking social obligations? Ready to stop being a hostage to other people's expectations and FOMO trips?I feel you. I drained my sanity for decades putting everyone else's demands before mine in some desperate people-pleasing quest to be liked. Meanwhile, my own damn dreams festered in a forgotten ditch somewhere.
In this straight-talking guide (clocking in around 65 pages), I'm serving up hard truths about unhealthy relationships along with tangible steps to start shaking off burnout-inducing barnacles weighing you down. We'll unpack why your inner nice person breeds resentment and rips off your fulfillment. How to spot manipulative guilt tripper "friends" passive-aggressively keeping your ambitions small.
Where to start planting seeds to magnetize your true ride-or-die tribe aligned with your eccentric wavelength. And most importantly - why investing in frequent solo cave time to decompress is essential to thriving, not some self-absorbed copout. Consider this book a license to wave bye-bye to human crabs in a bucket, and plant solid boundaries. Filled with philosophizing, witty cultural commentary, contrarian wisdom, and zero bullshit - I promise you'll never look at social obligations the same.
