394. Why You’re Nicer to Strangers Than to the People You Love
About this episode
This episode explores why people often treat strangers with more kindness than their loved ones and offers insights into improving those relationships.
You were perfectly nice to the guy at the coffee counter this morning, and you were patient with the coworker who asked you the same question for the third time, and then you walked through your own front door and said something to the person you love most that you would never in a million years have said to either of those strangers. So, if you’ve ever thought, why am I so mean to the people I love, today’s episode is for you. ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/ why-am-i-mean-to-the-people-i-love Grab the free download for this What Would You Have Said to a Stranger: https://abbymedcalf.com/stranger Join my online community, One Love Collective, on Substack: https://abbymedcalf.com/substack You'll get... ✨ Early drops + ad-free podcast episodes ✨ Worksheets, journal prompts, downloads, and guided visualizations ✨ Community chats and live Q&A calls with Abby _________ Subscribe to the Love Letter and get my little messages each week! https://abbymedcalf.com/loveletter-opt-in/ 👉 Pick up a copy of my new book, Boundaries Made Easy: Your Roadmap to Connection, Ease and Joy: https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries 👉 Pick up The Workbook…
