PERFORMING IN
RELATIONSHIPS
Do you ever feel like you're performing a false role in your relationships?
Like you're showing up as another person, rather than your authentic self?
Sometimes, self-betrayal comes in the form of performing in your
relationships. This usually comes from a fear of rejection. Maybe you're
afraid the other person won't accept you if you show them the real you.
This is self-betraying because you push your authentic self away. Rather
than honoring yourself, you act in a way you think will please the other
person in the relationship.
Self-Check-In
1.Do you ever catch yourself acting out a false role in any of your
relationships? If so, describe it.
2. Are there certain people in your life that you feel a stronger need to
perform for? Who are they and why do you think you do this?
