Dannah Gresh: Today young people feel so much pressure.
Girl: I wish that when I was younger I had known what a vicious cycle people-pleasing really is. It’s not just about you pleasing others. When others don’t accept you, especially when you’re a young girl, a lot of times at least for me, it was because they were all so afraid of what people might think if they did accept me because I was different from them. It was all about whatever I could do to fit in. I didn’t want to be different. I didn’t want to stand out. I wanted everyone to think I was just like everybody else.
Dannah: This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, coauthor, along with me, of Lies Young Women Believe, for Friday, August 12, 2022. I’m Dannah Gresh.
