Your Inner Child pt. 2

 I found a pretty neat resource on youtube that explains some pretty complex issues in a easier to understand format. This is proving to be useful and is opening my eyes to some things. To continue with the inner child concept that I am working on absorbing I wanted to share two short videos. The first one is about how what you experience as a child shapes your love style. I'm 100% the pleaser. I think this stems from growing up in a household with a father who was military who needed things done a certain way, and, to me, nothing could ever be done good enough. whether it be chores, or being compared academically to my sister. I have partial memories of me giving things to my parents or being overly friendly, specifically to try to earn that feeling of acceptance. 

This absolutely ties into what I do in my relationships. I want to make my partner happy I want that feeling of acceptance and love, so I will do anything to help. I find myself picking up extra slack around the house, alter plans last minute if they need help etc.. I do realize that this is to a fault as sometimes I do so much that I don't stop and this leads to burnout. 

This second video is about how your childhood experiences shape your personality. I find these to be pretty interesting and I find myself being comprised of a different elements across different categories. There is going to be one other video that I will post regarding having a "wounded inner child," but that's for a different post. 

 Are you able to determine which ones you are? If so, I'd be happy to hear about it. feel free to leave comments. You can find the youtube channel down below.
