❤️‍🩹 People-pleasing doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human. But it can also make you vulnerable.
⠀
🤧 Especially when someone in a religious role twists your desire to be “good” into an opportunity to control, manipulate—or worse.
⠀
Low self-worth can sound like:
🗣 “Maybe I deserved this.”
🗣 “They know better than I do.”
🗣 “This must be a spiritual test.”
⠀
💔 But these are trauma responses, not spiritual truths.
⠀
You don’t have to earn safety or prove your worthiness to Allah.
And someone else’s misuse of religion doesn’t mean you can’t heal and return to Him.
⠀
🤍 You can be soft-hearted and protected.
🤍 You can be obedient to Allah without submitting to someone’s distorted version of Him.
⠀
If this resonates with you, you’re not alone—and your softness was never the problem.
