  • There are several things you may be taking responsibility for that you don't need to be, and doing so is likely causing you a lot of extra stress, overwhelm, anxiety, worry and maybe even some anger.
    Today we're going to talk about what 10 of them are, why many of them are tied to people pleasing and some are even unintentional boundary violations, and how to stop taking these ones on.

    When you grow up in a super unhealthy environment where your parents make you feel like everything is your fault/resposibility, the worst part is being in a HEALTHY partnership later in life and assuming they are also an abuser but they're not! Trust issues. Your advice is so healing.

      Yeong Hui LOH you are not truly responsible for them though.
      In addition, most people are acting out of their own subconscious...fears/regrets.
      Of anything I’ve learned, it helps to have healthy detachment. Most others behaviors aren’t about us, it’s about that person. We can’t be happy if we take things personally (taking things personally is a pretty egocentric stance anyways)
      We can’t be healthy and apply meaning to what others are doing. It’s the meaning we apply to our thoughts or others actions...that creates SO much suffering.
      As a medical professional, I dealt with people who had cognitive issues, dementias, strokes etc.. some healthcare providers would get more annoyed than others. I was patient and kind because of my beliefs of the situation. I knew the patients weren’t doing it to be annoying etc, they had their own things going on. IT WASN’T ABOUT ME.
      I’d also like to challenge your belief system about HAVING to take care of your elders... that’s a pressure that’s external, forced on you. It’s cultural, familial, etc and comes with a risk of being ostracized. That’s like many religions and cliques etc.
      Just because it is...doesn’t mean it’s right.
      It is hard to take back one’s own power, but doable.
      Have you brainstormed solutions too.. how can you work on yourself to maximize your self worth (without external validation) to be impervious to others opinions or behaviors. It’s one of the strongest places to be.
      Can you share the “responsibility”..
      Is there respite care?
      Resentment builds the more you abandon yourself to be what others want you to be...
      I wish you direction, healing and blessings 🌸

      @@juliakristinamah At my father's deathbed when I was 12 y/o, and my sisters 9y/o and 6y/o the family passing by during wake repeated over and over 'now you girls have to look after your mother'. I remember exactly the moment it was instilled! We continued 'looking after our mother' which we interpreted as being responsible for her feelings and problems into my young adulthood. My sisters continue this behavior even today 40yrs later. I wouldn't say they are closer, they are more exhausted. I think young girls are conditioned like this sometimes and they don't even realize it? It just 'seemed like the right thing' once upon a time to 'care' so much. Now, I'm the 'uncaring' one when I consider my own feelings and needs too. 'Hurting you and acting like you hurt them' like she's saying is such a phenomena. It's a real mind bender.

      I hear that. Eggshells, that nervous pit in the stomach, always feeling we’re doing something “wrong”. It seems we often carry what we did to survive as children (to make sense of where we fit in our families, and the world) into our adult lives and those youthful survival strategies become self/other sabotage in adulthood. It’s not our fault, but it is our adult responsibility to own our well being. Not an easy journey, becoming ourselves...but worth the trip! It can be so hard not to confuse what feels familiar (familial) with love - and to avoid the pitfalls of adult relationships where we continue the familiar, unhealthy patterns...that’s where good support and self awareness and passionate bravery come in! We are here to become ourselves - it’s our right...and responsibility ;) Best to you....

      Alan Robarge and The Personal Development School (Thais Gibson)
      have both been super transformative for my journey.
      They address attachment styles developed due to childhood wounds. It has been revolutionary and empowering for me to see things differently.
      Unfortunately all we know for a while, is adaptive tools to get along the best we can...at that time. They become deeply embedded in us, how we see ourselves and others, how we react. It takes work to look at the subconscious thoughts, beliefs, the false narratives and challenge them. We are influenced by society too.

      @@juliakristinamah But it wasn't. I am talking about being a child in the '50s and '60s. There was nothing about setting "boundaries" or most of the other principles you talk about in these videos. But they did their best to get me to be be a conformist, to be "good" and "nice" all the time to people at my own expense, and to require me to take courses that bored the crap out of me and still have no practical application to my actual life as an adult. (How about "money management 101" instead of algebra?; how about "Emotional Health and Self Esteem 101" instead of geometry or chemistry?) And children were not taught at all how to deal with bullies in school! It has taken me years to realize that my response to the emotional abuse I endured as a kid was to try and please others, try and be "perfect: and to to be "nice" to others rather than set my own boundaries. I can't change the past; it is what it is, but I wish I'd known this stuff years ago, would've spared me a lot of self-regret and self-bashing for not standing up for myself better. Having been told (by a provisional mother who I can now see was quite unhappy with even having children) that I was the "black sheep" of the family and "born backwards and been backwards ever since" due to being a breech birth I am more than ready to "let it go"...I'm just glad I did not become a full fledged alcoholic or drug addict as I grew up with crappy self-esteem, fending off depression and social anxiety, and had to forge my own self-identity and try to ignore the negativity of my childhood and adolescence. These videos? Keep em coming. Better to learn this stuff later in life than never.

    Of course it is important to set boundaries and to see what we can and can't control. But I always have the feeling that BECAUSE we can't know what someone is thinking, needing or feeling and BECAUSE those things are so individual, and BECAUSE we as a society are not trained to necessarily be empathic, it is very important to learn to check in with people. And I do feel it IS absolutely our responsibility to not assume things and just do whatever we think is best to do and put the responsibility on the other person to tell us if that doesn't work for them. For example, I don't just assume, that it is ok for my friend with anxiety to go to a crowded place with me, just because it would be ok for me. And I want to share the responsibility with them. I want them to feel cared for by me checking in with them and on the other hand hope they will tell me. Just like I expect from the people around me, that they check in with me about what I want and need and not just roll through their life like a bulldozer.

    It got old fast and I let him know that he is NOT to let ANYTHING pertaining to ME get in the way of HIS responsibilities.
    I wish him well. He has been raised with gaslighting. I’m breathing fresh air to not have to be his excuse for all the issues that he harbors. Especially being made to feel bad about myself because he missed this or that on my account.

I'm always wanting to help my friends and family with the information I learn hear and the self help books I've been reading. Fro the people I think it would benefit the most I get a lot of resistance. I'm going to try and step back and tell myself it's not my responsibility. I can only be responsible for myself. Thanks again!

    Thank you Julia for the reminder. I have been ruminating for over a month on this very question of responsibility in relationships. My marriage counselor keeps trying to tell me I am responsible for my wife's abusive reactions. That just did not seem right to me. I'm having a lot of trouble understanding why I would not only be liable and accountable for her hurt feelings over something so minuscule that I said that got twisted around within her to make her feel her own hurt when that was in no way my malicious intent. But when I try to tell her I'm only responsible / liable / accountable for my honest pure and genuine intent she comes at me with female excuses justifying the wife's abuse towards me and the kids as all my fault because I'm not taking my responsibilities.

      Counsellors often don't understand narcissistic abuse. You might want to research narcissism as it sounds a bit like what you're experiencing. Tricky to deal with and best to set boundaries and go no contact if you can. I wish you luck. 🍀💞

    Pretty sure I just got one of the biggest epiphanies of my life from this video. I was raised by narcissists in a religious culture and then served in the military where compassion and consent was never real. I just learned, others are not beholden to me **and have a choice whether or not to engage/help/participate, regardless of their responsibilities**. The lack of that concept in my life has been the source of intense frustration and anger and and confusion and constant conflict on a daily basis for my entire existence. I always longed so dearly to offer a compassionate interaction to others but couldn’t understand where I was missing the mark in my expectations. Wow! This changes EVERYTHING. The major source of anger and inability to communicate is now gone! My heart is bursting with hope! Thank you Julia Kristina for creating this content to help make lives better. You just achieved that goal in a MASSIVE way for me!

    • @Alphacentauri819
      @Alphacentauri819 Před 4 lety +2

      Melanie W this is awesome!!!!
      I was raised by rather strict religious parents, where emotional connection was almost nonexistent, expression of feelings not encouraged and I learned to people please and be a chameleon to feel safe.
      I’m just now learning who I am, what I really want...& I’m in my 40’s 😲
      Along the way, I def rebelled against those concepts and did my own thing...but coming authentically into myself is happening in a much more deep way now.
      Transformative for me has been channels like this...and Eckhart Tollé, the book ‘Codependent no more’ by Melodie Beattie, CZcams channels Alan Robarge and The Personal Development School (Thais Gibson)
      They’ve helped me learn things like what my attachment style is, how to address the issues of it.. I’m a fearful avoidant. I’ve been working on healthy detachment, not being stuck on expected outcomes..but more accepting of what is.
      I’ve often been an over giver and bending backwards to meeting people’s needs..ultimately was trying to convince others I was good enough (due to my subconscious belief that I wasn’t).
      Instead, I’m connecting to myself now, challenging my false narratives about myself, others relationships etc. It’s been incredible. I feel more empowered.
      I’m checking in more often to see if what I’m doing is inline with what matters to me...I used to abandon myself in order to please others. I’d have profound cognitive dissonance as a result and that further increased issues 😬
      It’s so beautiful when others have these epiphanies too!
      I wish you healing, light, empowerment and blessings 🌸

    This was a topic that I was in dire need of. My anxiety has been like an iceberg underneath the surface it was huge and obvious and I didn't even see the tip of it because so much more obvious anxiety had just fallen away I thought I was doing so much better. finally realizing that this anxiety revolved around responsibility and guilt I came across this video - oh my God! thank you thank you thank you!

  • @sumari972
    @sumari972 Před 4 lety +4

    I don't agree with you telling nobody is responsible for meeting other people's needs. I was married, my husband wanted himself to become a father, he agreed to help me caring after the kids, then he refused to do it. It was a common responsability, but he let me down with all the work. In a relationship you are also responsible to meet the needs of your partner.

    • @juliakristinamah
      @juliakristinamah  Před 4 lety +4

      Being an active participating parent is not about meeting your needs Sumari - it's about him taking responsibility for the choice he made to have children and be married. You are both responsible TO show up and contribute to the family and to your partnership if those are things you've chosen to have, but neither of you are responsible FOR the other person.

Thanks for helping those of us who are struggling due to a false perception of ourselves. It sure is tough to overcome!

    I try to follow my heart and true intentions and sometimes is almost impossible for me to not attempt to do something, I don't expect anything and I am aware that I can't change anyone, I do carefully consider what I'm going to say or do because I like to think that maybe a little bit of my love and happiness can rub off onto others, I am not attempting to be a hero but is almost like a duty for me to try anyway, I'm not affected by the outcome but as a human being I can not just sit back and not even try a bit. For example I know I can not make my mom
    Happy but if walking in the rain and getting wet together makes her smile I am going to do it. Your videos are a treasure my eternal gratitude

    I used to be a big people pleaser, most of my life in fact. I used to always try to get people to like me, think good things about me. I would worry if people thought poorly of me. In my most recent relationship, I would always try to get the approval of my exes family. But after the breakup, I got sucked into a deep depressive state. I worried that "oh great, all that time I spent trying to get them to like me is all for nothing." But I am actually grateful that it happened. It was actually that depression that helped me get out of that state of mind. And I've definitely seen an improvement in all of my other relationships as well as the relationship with myself. I occasionally do get sucked back into that mindset, but I take a few moments to ask myself "Does it really matter what they think of you?" Which the answer is "No, it doesn't".
    I really do enjoy watching your videos, definitely are helpful. Keep up the good work ^_^
