The On-Call Empath

Epi. 299 Why They Push Your Buttons: The Psychology of Being Tested


Listen Later

Ever feel like people are constantly testing your patience, boundaries, or even your worth? In this episode, we break down why people test you—whether it's friends, partners, coworkers, or even strangers—and what it really means on a deeper, psychological level.

You’ll get practical tools to recognize these power plays early, set strong boundaries, and respond with confidence without losing your empathy. We're also doing something different: reading and responding to real messages from listeners who’ve been tested in their own lives. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why me?”, this episode is for you. Don’t miss this one—it’s personal.
