Emotional Intelligence, Daily. Start now: https://www.theschooloflife.com/subscription/ When a relationship ends, our minds immediately turn to a relentless interrogation of our own character: Was I not funny enough? Was I too boring? Did I not listen well enough? We convince ourselves that we are fundamentally deficient. But this film explores a counter-intuitive, often uncomfortable truth: sometimes, we are rejected not because we are "too little," but because we are "too much." For someone raised on a diet of emotional neglect or trauma, kindness can be indigestible, and your steady, reliable love can feel like a threat to their survival. #Heartbreak #SelfWorth #Psychology Unlock all the content of The School of Life with a subscription to our podcast, articles, videos, and exercises, specially tailored to your needs.
