221. Stop Letting Other People's Perception of You Define You | The Not Too Sensitive Podcast

good girl hsp podcast self worth Oct 28, 2025

Do you find yourself replaying conversations, worrying what someone thinks of you, or holding back your truth because you don’t want to be “too much”?

In this episode, Alissa dives into one of the biggest traps for highly sensitive people: overreliance on other people’s approval and perception. She shares how constantly scanning for others’ validation keeps you disconnected from your own self-trust—and how to shift into deeper self-acceptance and grounded confidence.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why relying on others’ approval keeps you stuck in self-doubt
  • How to stop letting people’s opinions define your self-worth
  • What it means to “have your own back” when you feel misunderstood or judged
  • How to regulate your nervous system through the discomfort of being disliked
  • Why true safety as an HSP comes from within—not from being liked by everyone
