More often than not when someone asks us a question, instead of a simple and to the point answer we over-explain ourselves. As we over-explain we are more apt to be manipulated by those who want to manipulate us. When we over-explain we lose dignity and we take away from our self-esteem and self-respect because we aren’t being honest about our feelings. When we care about ourselves and want to do what’s right for ourselves, we aren’t trying to make everyone happy and make ourselves miserable in the process. Instead, we step up and are honest about our feelings, needs, wants, and where we will spend our time and what we will spend our time doing.
This video offers valuable information to anyone who is caring, loving, sensitive, and an empath, because if you are, you may fall into the trap of over-explaining yourself because of your love for people and your desire to be understood. Stand up for who you are, what you believe in, and where and with whom you spend your time.
