Have you ever felt like a chameleon, constantly changing yourself to fit in and gain approval? Preston Moore knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'The High Cost of Anonymity', he dives into two emotional sobriety traits that many struggle with: the need for approval and the fear of criticism. These traits can strip away your identity and leave you feeling lost and vulnerable. Preston shares personal stories of his lifelong quest for approval.
He talks about how he would bend over backwards to get people to like him, only to lose himself in the process. His candid anecdotes reveal the emotional toll this behavior takes and how it leads to a cycle of shame and confusion. But it doesn't stop there. Preston also tackles the fear of angry people and criticism. He recounts how he would try to befriend those with a reputation for anger, hoping it would make him feel safe.
Instead, it often backfired, leaving him feeling even more isolated and scared. It's a pattern that many can relate to, especially those who have grown up in turbulent environments. This episode isn't just about sharing struggles; it's about finding solutions. Preston discusses how recognizing these patterns is the first step toward reclaiming your identity. He emphasizes the importance of trying new things, even if it means failing, as a way to build resilience and self-worth.
If you're someone who battles with approval-seeking or fears criticism, this episode offers a comforting space to explore these issues. Preston's raw honesty and practical advice make it a must-listen for anyone on the path to emotional sobriety.
