Too Much, Never Enough
Have you ever been told you’re too much? Or felt like no matter what you gave, it was never enough? If so, you’re not alone. Many of us live in that impossible tension—always trying to land in the sweet spot of “just right” for someone else.
Maybe you’ve loved someone who never seemed satisfied. No matter how you showed up, how you looked, what you did or didn’t do—it never felt like enough for them. That kind of rejection is exhausting. Eventually, you start to wonder: If I’m not what they want, maybe they should go find what they do want.
And it doesn’t just happen in romantic relationships. Parents and children feel it too—kids trying to measure up, parents feeling inadequate no matter how much they give. Siblings can fall into comparison, always “too loud,” “too quiet,” or “not as successful.” Friendships can fracture when one person feels like they’re always giving more than they receive.
In the workplace, co-workers or bosses can make you feel like no contribution is ever enough, or like your natural personality is “too much” for the culture. This tension can surface anywhere people connect, because it’s rooted in expectations and perception, not in your actual worth.
But here’s the truth: you are already enough. You don’t need to shrink, stretch, or contort yourself to meet someone else’s expectations. The answer isn’t to try harder—it’s to release the need for validation that was never yours to chase.
So the next time a connection leaves you feeling like Goldilocks—too much, not enough, never quite right—remember this: when you stand firmly in your own energy, your frequency, your vibe, you invite others to do the same. The right people will recognize you and rise to meet you. The wrong ones will drift away. That isn’t loss—it’s alignment.
