The Baddest Bitch in the Building

Girly law of power #24: Let go of the need to be liked


Listen Later

We're taught from a very young age that our social acceptance depends on being liked. However, the patriarchy assumes women will always want to be liked, so it relies on that desire to keep us compliant & constantly seeking social approval.


The thing is, most people don't even like themselves. So who cares if they don't like you. Besides, you're in a much better position to get what you want from the world when you don't give two hoots what others think.


In this episode, we get into:


  • The hidden reward/punishment system that keeps women stuck in a cycle of seeking validation
  • How being liked is a form of borrowed approval
  • Why letting go of the need to be liked removes one of the patriarchy's most effective control levers over women
  • How to leverage likeability to get what you want


Oh and enjoy the extremely unserious skit at the beginning of this episode.


✨Hope you love it and can use this law to make your dreams come true. You are the baddest bitch in the building.


Love, Neeki xo
