Getting Old Quickly

134. They're All Gonna Be Mad At You


Listen Later

In Episode 134, Billy Donnelly tries to come to terms with the fact that he may have some people-pleasing tendencies, and he's not happy about it. He discusses how easy it is to feel bad if someone has hurt feelings or is upset after an interaction with him, even though he knows their reaction and response are more about them than him. As a result, he dives into the importance to him that others aren't mad at him and his wanting to control those situations by squashing any negative feelings quickly and making things better -- hence, the people-pleasing behaviors. He also touches upon how such fear is entangled with his other issues of wanting to be liked and seeking outside validation, as they all to a certain degree deal with acceptance.
