The Psychology of your 20s · 460. The psychology of 'good girl' syndrome · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

Everything and everyone. voice-verified

But in ourselves what does it look like? voice-verified

I wanna give you some individual signs this may be part of your own behavior. voice-verified

or your own identity, as I know it's part of mine, so that you can kind of look out for it. voice-verified

And no judgment in this. voice-verified

I just think it's a helpful thing to just see if you relate. voice-verified

to how this is individually expressed. voice-verified

Firstly, a big sign of Good Girl Syndrome is over-explaining, over-explaining everything and over-apologising for everything. voice-verified

Even neutral statements will begin with sorry, but I'm sorry, but this, that, you know, we might come up with a large list of reasons that, you know, we can't attend things. voice-verified

We don't just say no. voice-verified

We have to give evidence for our choice. voice-verified

We have to make sure people know. voice-verified

If I'm saying no, if I'm disagreeing with you, if I can't come, it's all my fault, it's all on me. voice-verified

You can just forgive me now. voice-verified

I'll feel terrible about it in my own time. voice-verified

At its root, over explaining and over apologizing is an anxiety response. voice-verified

We don't want anything. voice-verified

Anyone to think poorly of us. voice-verified

Anyone, because that would mean that we've let somebody down. voice-verified

And as a good girl, like your nervous system literally just doesn't know how to cope with that. voice-verified
