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.
