Are You Walking on Eggshells? | The Overthinker's Guide to Joy

Ep #41: Are You Walking on Eggshells?

June 15, 2022

Is there someone in your life that you find yourself constantly walking on eggshells around? Most of us have encountered this dynamic with someone, whether it’s with a boss, parent, partner, or even a friend who is volatile or aggressive at times, where we end up tip-toeing around them, unsure of their mood or how they’ll react to something. 

This fear of upsetting someone and instead trying to keep the peace by walking on eggshells means we don’t show up as our most authentic selves. I realized this pattern was attracting more of these types of people into my life, and if you have a history of walking on eggshells too, the question is why, and what can we do about it?

Listen in this week as I show you how the dysfunctional pattern of walking on eggshells might be showing up for you right now and why it’s so problematic. I’m sharing why this is a coping mechanism many of us have developed, and what you can do instead to break the cycle.
