Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Do you minimize your accomplishments? Apologize for taking up space? Feel uncomfortable when people compliment you? You might think you're just being humble or realistic. But underneath all of that might be a belief you've never put into words: that your self-worth is dangerous to other people. Maybe you grew up with someone who couldn't handle your confidence. Maybe you watched what happened when someone else felt too good about themselves. Maybe the only way to stay connected was to stay small, uncertain, always a little bit less than. So you learned to reject yourself first-to minimize, qualify, and apologize for existing-as a form of protection. For them. For you. For everyone. But what if the danger you've been protecting everyone from doesn't exist anymore? What if self-acceptance isn't the same as arrogance, and confidence isn't the same as cruelty? What if feeling okay about yourself doesn't threaten anyone? This book explores the quiet belief that keeps you constantly monitoring yourself, the relational dynamics that made self-rejection feel necessary, and the difference between healthy self-acceptance and the harmful things you're afraid of becoming. It offers practical experiments to test whether the old rules still apply, and a path toward accepting yourself without apology. You weren't trying to be difficult. You were trying to keep everyone safe. But you don't have to reject yourself to protect anyone. You never did. If you've spent years making yourself smaller to keep the peace, this book is for you. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
