What if true freedom begins the moment you stop trying to be liked?

In this reflection, we explore the powerful idea that our unhappiness doesn’t come from our circumstances, it comes from our dependence on others’ approval.

Through the lens of Adlerian psychology, we’ll uncover why chasing validation leads to anxiety and resentment and how the courage to live authentically opens the door to real happiness and inner peace.

Letting go of the need to be liked isn’t selfish, it’s freedom. It’s the moment you begin living for yourself, not for the expectations of others.
