#people-pleasing

I'd look for something new to take on: a class, a language, a project, a degree. Once, in the span of a single week, I signed up for language classes, researched getting certified in something I didn't actually want to do, and convinced myself I needed to start training for a 10K. Because if I was doing something productive, I wouldn't have to sit with what I was feeling. That was the pattern: uncomfortable emotion → frantic pursuit of something "more."

The fear of being disliked can lead to unlikable behaviors such as clinginess and distance, which in turn can destroy friendships and relationships.

"Being a perfectionist and being kind of always on was very protective for me. It was the one thing in my control to kind of keep my dad's moods at bay."

Light and flirty conversations may put you in a good mood this morning. The charming Libra moon meets playful Mercury in Leo, aligning thoughts with feelings.
