He explains how people-pleasing doesn’t create closeness: it creates blandness, resentment, and relationships where you can’t be yourself.If you’ve ever felt yourself shrinking to keep someone, this episode is your reminder: real love requires you, not your performance. ---►► Every Friday, Matthew Hussey writes a personal letter to help you strengthen the three most important relationships in your life—with others, with yourself, and with life itself.
