You'll Annoy People & That's Okay - Emotional Growth Behaviors

It's worth it for people to become annoyed or to be all bent out of shape because you start exhibiting behaviors & mindsets that demonstrate mental & emotional growth and possibly get in the way of them taking advantage of you to make their life easier.

Show Notes:
As a people pleaser, annoying people is ALWAYS at the bottom of the list because it basically goes against the CODE of ethics for people pleasers. You can’t please people when you are annoying them. So if you’re a people pleaser, like I was & am still sometimes, what I am going to suggest in this episode MIGHT be difficult for you.

Today I want to talk about how exhibiting mental & emotional growth is going to annoy some people. It’s the same thing as when you start having & enforcing personal boundaries. You let people know that you now have boundaries & they get all upset because it affects them in a way that no longer allows them to manipulate & overstep their bounds with you. They usually feel like it makes their life harder. And this same thing happens when you start to grow as a person. 

When you start to be someone that people don’t recognize or isn’t comfortable for them, they get annoyed. And maybe not everyone is annoyed, but choose your synonym and it’s something similar. The nice part is that some people will just accept you for who you are becoming and others will take an adjustment period but will come around to acceptance of who you are becoming. Unfortunately, there will be people that will pitch a fit because you are giving them less access to you & that usually means more work, responsibility & accountability for them.

Something else that happens is people will get annoyed with you for growing & changing into a better version of yourself while they are not. They could be jealous of your growth, or upset that you will no longer be equals, maybe they have fear that you will get more attention than they will now that you’re different, or the old classic of, “misery loves company,” so they don’t want anyone else to be happy because they aren’t happy. Whatever the reason, it’s not helpful, nor is it something anyone wants to deal with. The problem is that we all will deal with some of this at some level because when other people close to us change, it usually means we need to change to either accommodate them or move on from the relationship. Either of those sucks for most people because it’s a level of change we probably weren’t expecting.

So let’s jump into some mindsets & behaviors that come with emotional growth, but are likely to annoy people that don’t enjoy people changing or becoming their best self:

1. Sharing Your Honest Feelings
2. Creating Distance in Relationships
3. Asserting Yourself
4. Making Your Own Decisions
5. Changing Your Mind
