It seems the author may be on the verge of discovering vulnerability and openness. Opening yourself to others brings connection, empathy, humility, sincerity, and growth.

It does a good job of getting rid of the last vestiges of TFA’s I-V, too.

Of course, it can also be scary, but the rewards are tremendous.

Any material you’d recommend on this topic? It’s a topic that I’ve been thinking about a lot to try and reform myself from being such a people pleaser.

I got there acting, especially on stage. I started about 15 years ago, in community theatre and indie movies.

At first, it was just for the fun, it’s an amazing feeling, but over time it became more about the collaboration and trust with my scene partners, regardless of the role: the more you open up to each other, the better the result.
