Why You Change When You Like Someone (And Start Losing Yourself) -Episode 311

Episode 311 – Why You Change When You Like Someone (And Start Losing Yourself)

Why do confident, capable adults suddenly shrink in romantic relationships?

Why do you stay steady everywhere else in life, but start overthinking, overgiving, and altering yourself the moment you really like someone?

In this episode, we break down the psychology behind losing yourself in relationships, fear of abandonment, anxious attachment patterns, childhood bullying trauma, sexual deprivation, and the need to be chosen.

This is not about blaming partners. It is about understanding why high functioning professionals, divorced parents, thirty year old women dating, and fifty year old men afraid of becoming undesirable can all experience the same emotional collapse when romance is involved.

We explore:

• Why you change when you like someone
• How early rejection or bullying affects adult attachment
• The connection between sexual rejection and emotional insecurity
• Why you overfunction and overgive in relationships
• The psychology of shrinking yourself to avoid abandonment
• Why being “chosen” feels like survival
• How to stop betraying yourself to keep access to someone

If you have ever felt confident in life but insecure in love, this episode will resonate deeply.

This is a structured, honest examination of attachment fear, emotional deprivation, relationship insecurity, and the hidden cost of trying to be enough for someone who is not fully meeting you.

You are probably right.

But you may be shrinking.

And that is what we are fixing.
