The Situation

"His friends call me the babysitter because I don't drink"

The Brutal Truth

His friends label you as a babysitter because your sobriety makes them uncomfortable. This suggests he and his friends view relationships as carefree and irresponsible, undermining your maturity and self-worth. It’s disrespectful and reflects commitment issues.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might over-explain their choices to fit in or question their self-worth by thinking they need to change who they are to be accepted. This is harmful and dismisses their true self.

💭 Something to Reflect On

How does being labeled reflect on your self-worth, and what do you need to feel valued in a relationship?
