    13. Why You Care So Much What People Think (It’s Not What You Expect)

    Send us Fan Mail Why do you care so much what people think? The answer goes much deeper than people pleasing.  Like, follow, and subscribe ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/@PrettyDeepPodcast   Do you ever replay conversations, worry what people think, or feel anxious when someone seems “off” with you? In this episode of Pretty Deep, Petrina unpacks why people pleasing is often only the surface of something much deeper. Through personal story, Scripture, and honest reflection, this conversation explores approval, self-worth, identity in Christ, and how to stop looking to people for something only God can give.  In this video, you’ll learn:  • Why caring too much what people think is usually pointing to something deeper  • How people pleasing can reveal where you are getting your sense of worth from  • Why confidence advice often treats the symptom, not the root  • What Scripture says about your identity in Christ  • How to catch the lie, name it, and replace it with truth  • Why renewing your mind is a daily process, not a one-time revelation ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – The exhausting cycle 02:11 – Symptom vs cause 03:08 – The real question 05:51 – The year I almost quit 08:20 – How the shift happened 11:23 – The love you never let in 17:00 – You don’t need approval Listen To This Next: You Don’t Feel Confident (But Something Else Is Going On)  ➡️  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyY8LEDEFHc&t=7s   This episode is part of 'The God You Didn't Know' — a season of honest conversations about the misunderstandings about God that quietly shape our confidence, identity, and peace.  Watch the full series on YouTube, here  ➡️  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuIjdmA2_b_OmBO6i6_R8hEsJrkRSXsGz Subscribe to Pretty Deep: https://www.youtube.com/@PrettyDeepPodcast Connect with me!  • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PrettyDeepPodcast • Instagram: @PetrinaVerma Question  ➡️  Where do you notice yourself looking for approval the most: friendships, family, work, church, or social media?
