The Psychology of your 20s · 413. You're not for everyone? GOOD! · 4 May 2026 podcast

So this is an intro guide into how we're going to embrace not being for everybody.

And I sincerely hope that you do as early as possible.

And listen, I'm still figuring it out and I still get really upset anytime I hear a mutual friend or a friend of a friend doesn't like me.

I had that happen the other day and I lost sleep over it.

I still at times pander to people.

I shouldn't.

I get consumed by a mean comment.

But I think compared to where I was five years ago, I'm worlds apart from that.

And I'm just excited, like genuinely excited for more and more freedom to come with choosing whose opinions of me I get to care about and choosing who I get to be for.

Like genuinely, I don't know if this is something that other people are going through, but the older I get, the more excited I am to be one of the women that I see in their 50s and 60s and 70s who just like give zero fucks, who say like what they want, wear what they want, eat what they want, do what they want.

Those women to me seem like some of the happiest people alive.

And I'm sure there's some research that's probably going to confirm that they are.

And they also seem to have as well, like the most profound relationships, the most profound friendships, the most profound creativity, because, you know, along the way through trial and error, it seems as if they've learned what we are actively learning now, which is that being for everybody robs you of something you actually probably want more from life, which is to be authentic and to be happy.

Not being for everybody gifts that back to you, gifts that self-approval back to you so that you can live freely.

And that's something that I'm just really excited for.

I can't wait to give less and less and less fucks about other people's opinions.

And I can't wait for that to be a testament that I'm probably doing something very, very right with my life.

as so many of these, so much of this research has shown us.

Not being liked by everybody is a litmus test and is the biggest sign that you're probably living life the way that it should be lived.

So that is all we have time for today.
