As a culturally informed counsellor, I have lived experience of seeking external approval and it is exhausting. Constantly overthinking, worrying about others' opinions and going down endless rabbit holes can be draining. You may be holding back so that you are not criticised. Your inner dialogue may sound like 'conflict is bad and it would get really awkward' or 'If I speak up I will upset someone or they'll ridicule me'. It is common for many women to eventually withdraw into a shell and overtime they become invisible. Sometimes it feels easier to go along with things and "appear" agreeable rather than risk offending others.
