208. How to Feel Confident Around Intimidating People (Your Voice Matters!) | The Not Too Sensitive Podcast

Do you shrink yourself around confident or intimidating people? Do you feel the need to “chameleon” into who others want you to be...just to feel accepted or safe?

In this episode, Alissa explores one of the biggest challenges for highly sensitive people (HSPs): shrinking to be liked.

Inspired by a client conversation, Alissa shares why discomfort isn’t dangerous, why you don’t need to match someone else’s energy to be enough, and how to shift from people-pleasing to power. This is your reminder that your sensitivity is a gift and it’s needed.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to stop shrinking yourself in intimidating environments
• Why trying to be “likable” often means abandoning your authenticity
• How to reframe judgment and handle the discomfort of being perceived
• The danger of defining success by how others react to you
