55. Maybe I Was Never Too Much

In this week’s reflection episode, I talk about the painful feeling that who you are, at your core, might be “too much” even for the people who love you deeply. After a recent experience with loved ones left me feeling emotionally overwhelmed and disconnected, I began unpacking the deeper emotions hidden beneath my anxious-avoidant attachment style, hyper-independence, and fear of being misunderstood. This episode is about recognizing what happens when we stop dismissing our emotions, learning that sensitivity is not the same thing as weakness, and understanding that healing can feel messy before it begins to feel peaceful.🌙 In this episode, I share:What it feels like to believe your emotions overwhelm other people.The connection between burnout, emotional sensitivity, and feeling misunderstood.How overexplaining can become a coping mechanism for fear and rejection.Learning that feeling deeply is not a moral failure and that you don't have to shrink yourself to feel loved.📓 Journal prompt of the week:Write about a moment in your life where you first started feeling like you were “too much” or “not enough,” and reflect on how that experience may still affect you today.✍️ My Poetry & Reflections Notion Page:https://www.notion.so/Morgan-Sneed-Poetry-Reflections-294fbd79ed638009bf42dc1cddabf4fd?source=copy_link🌐 My Socials:All my links in one place: https://linktr.ee/morgzworldInstagram: @morgansneeddTikTok: @morgansneed🎙 Want to start your own podcast?I host with RSS and love how easy it is to use.Start your podcast here: https://rss.com/?via=4df2a8If you sign up through this link, it helps support the show!💌 Want to contact me directly?Email me: youatyourbestpodcast@gmail.comNeed Advice?
