Episode 86 - I tried and it Didn't work (So I Stopped) | + Original Song "Me"

Episode 86 - I tried and it Didn't work (So I Stopped)Have you ever tried to connect with someone… and it just didn’t go the way you hoped? Maybe it felt awkward. Maybe they didn’t respond. Maybe you walked away thinking, “That didn’t work… so I’m done.” In this episode, we go deeper than just surface-level connection. We talk about why many of us stop trying—not just because it didn’t work, but because it cost us something. Sometimes it’s rejection. Sometimes it’s comparison. And sometimes… it’s what we believe about ourselves. We unpack:Why one awkward moment doesn’t mean failureWhat happens when we feel “less than” in the roomHow wrong motives (like trying to climb or prove ourselves) can sabotage connectionThe hidden role of insecurity and overthinkingAnd how living in the past or future keeps us from real relationshipsMost importantly, we talk about how to shift out of “me-focused” thinking and into real, present, meaningful connection. If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation replaying everything you said… or avoided someone because you assumed they didn’t want to talk to you… this one is for you. You don’t have to perform your way into connection. You just have to be present.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pastors-in-recovery--6262503/support. Connect :🌐 www.pastorsinrecovery.com🌐Facebook.com/pastorsinrecovery📧 pastorsinrecovery@gmail.comFind the Podcast:▶️ Youtube.com/@pastorsinrecovery 🟢 Spotify and Apple Music (and all major streaming platforms) search for Pastors in RecoveryPodcast Music:🟢 Spotify and Apple Music (and all major streaming platforms) under Crashing Lyrics▶️ Youtube.com/@crashinglyrics -> Pastors in Recovery Playlist This episode includes AI-generated content.
