Side Effects Of Being Too Much▫️Small Doses Podcast 

Is it too much ? Or is it more than they want to give ? 🤔 People really try to make you feel bad when they feel guilty for not being able to match what you give

A lot of people are honestly not enough. When you are not enough, other people and things become too much when they are just baseline...

"You can feel like too much for someone, who doesn't have that same love language. You can feel like too much to someone, who doesn't have the experience of receiving love, or friendship." Amanda Seales

I think that sometimes being “too much” for many people means that they are experiencing another individual do, say or behave in a way that feels uncomfortable to them. Behavior that often feels obnoxious, loud, overly opinionated, intrusive, inconsiderate, loud and wrong or just down right rude. You can also be too much to others when you’re seen as too rigid with your ideologies and principles.

I have never been called too much, but I have encountered people who I felt like were "too much" and the reason I felt that was because I didn't have the energy to engage them...they were exhausting. Honestly, if a person talk a lot or are really animated it makes me feel anxious. 😊

A lot of people are considered too much just for being open depictions of authenticity. The honesty, confidence, rawness of you feels like a personal attack on people who are quite comfortable with fakeness. Don’t water yourself down, just keep celebrating who you are and try to find YOUR people. Spoken as someone taking their own advice.

Girl, lots of love from the Caribbean/South America. 🇬🇾 A lot of people find you to be just right. #dontchange ❤️

the way i need to be here rn at this moment is not even a joke…being told this exact thing is making me wanna isolate. very much ready for this guidance.

i once had a friend call me intense and it threw me off because i know for sure I'm not an intense person. i don't typically center myself enough to be intense. but then i realised it's easy to claim someones intense when you move through this life apathetic.

In my observation and personal experience in theater, I've noticed that the concept of being 'too much' appears to be more rooted in Western cultures. When I moved from Curaçao to the Netherlands, I encountered, and continue to encounter, individuals who try to limit one's freedom of expression. I've found that Caribbean cultures, in the places I've experienced, are much more embracing of expressive behavior. They embrace diversity, whether it's through a loud voice or animated body language, considering it a natural aspect of life. Of course, this is just my subjective perspective based on my personal experiences.

Hi Queen- the word you were looking for was 'demoralizing'. Looking forward to hearing all the gems from you 💎

Oh my gosh, if this wasn't my life! I love this conversation. After much self reflection (and work LOL) I'm SO glad I do better with not internalizing these situations and feelings! ❤

I appreciate you explaining this bc I’ve been too much for people who wanted me to shrink for them

When you are being your authentic self 🌞

So sorry you felt that someone saying you're too happy doesn't just SUCK its fuckedUP! Learning NOT to internalize other's shit is a platinum skill to know and practice. your questions: can you...IS ABOUT INTEGRITY. It's also a pet peeve of mine when folk say but don't DO what they SAID. I love your energy; your creativity is off the charts! DO UUUUUUUUUUUUU! Always✊🏽

I’m a fan of yours and I really enjoyed smart funny and black (I went for my birthday a few years back)❤. I was talking to my sister and I can’t understand why people say you do too much. I think you do the perfect amount of enough. You put in great effort to speak about important things you’re passionate about and I have to admire that. Thank you for being unapologetically black and proud. You are loved 🥰

Literally deleted the text thread for this very reason 🙌🏾

Not sure of the "d" word you were searching for , but ultimately it feels like they need you to shrink yourself in order to be just enough for them...

People just mad because they cannot handle the truth and reality you speak

Demotivating?

!

Demoralising?

"I"..."me"..."I"..."me"..."I"..."me". It's exhausting and a red flag when a woman's most used word is "I". And you in no way strike me as a "happy person". At all.

Decesenstized 😂😂😂😂😂 ?!!!?!
