Ep #183 Let Them Not Like You: You’ll Like You More

Andee Martineau - Podcaster, Best-Selling Author, Parenting Coach Episode 183

Are you willing to allow people not to like you because you're so committed to being yourself? This episode is for all the people-pleasers who are exhausted from trying to be everyone's favorite. Andy gives you permission to let people not like you and shows you why this is the key to actually liking yourself more. 

What You'll Learn:

  • Why giving people permission to dislike you is liberating
  • The real reason you're desperate to be liked (it's about how you think you'll feel)
  • How to stop being "creepy, needy, and graspy" when someone pulls away
  • Why some people won't like your "flavor" and why that's normal
  • How to model authentic confidence for your kids (especially teenagers)

Key Takeaways:

  • "They can't like you enough to make up for you not liking yourself."
  • "Having the courage to be disliked is empowering and makes you more confident."
  • "If someone doesn't like you, maybe you're just not their flavor, and that's okay."

Perfect For:

  • Parents who want their teenagers to like them
  • Exhausted people-pleasers ready to break the cycle
  • Anyone who's changed themselves to fit in
  • Parents wanting to model authentic confidence

The Bottom Line: Being likable is overrated. Liking other people (and yourself) that's where the real magic happens.
 
"Give people permission to not like you. They already have permission anyway, but you giving it feels so much better."
