Hello friend, it's great to be back after a short break. Today, I want to dive into a topic that's been on my mind for a while – Cool Girl Syndrome in dating and relationships.
I'm excited to talk about this because it's something I struggled with during my twenties and thirties, and I'm sure many of you can relate.
Key Takeaways from the episode:
Cool Girl Syndrome (CGS) involves being overly accommodating in your interactions, going along with everything the other person wants.
It's driven by the fear of coming across as needy, desperate, or being rejected.
Engaging in CGS prevents authentic connections and makes it hard to assess compatibility.
The longer you stay in CGS, the more resentment builds because you abandon yourself.
Over time, CGS creates an unhealthy relationship dynamic where your partner thinks their behaviour is okay.
You block intimacy and genuine connections when you don't show your true self.
CGS leads to overthinking and overanalyzing situations.
Action Steps:
Reflect on your past dating and relationship experiences to identify instances where CGS may have influenced your behaviour.
Write a story about what you'll do differently in the future to break free from CGS.
Ask yourself what feels light and authentic in situations rather than following norms or overthinking.
Get clear on your wants, boundaries, and true needs, and practice communicating them in various areas of your life.
Conclusion:
I want to encourage you to be yourself and communicate honestly in your dating and relationships.
Remember, relationships involve two humans with insecurities and vulnerabilities.
Owning your side of the street and working through your fears can lead to personal growth and more fulfilling connections.
