Bella Hadid's habit of 'people-pleasing' caused her to disregard boundaries
"I was always told that my voice was less important," the model explained.
Bella Hadid, who has frequently spoken about her personal life and struggles with mental health, has revealed something new. The supermodel revealed that her habit of 'people-pleasing' led to her pushing and even abandoning her boundaries in previous relationships.
According to The Independent, the 25-year-old admitted to Amanda de Cadenet on the Victoria's Secret 'VS Voices' podcast that she would constantly "return to men and women who had abused [her]." "This is where the people-pleasing came into play. I began to lack boundaries, not only sexually, but also physically and emotionally.
Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid's younger sister, also revealed that as a child, she felt like the "black sheep" of the family. "As a child, I felt like my voice was never heard. "I grew up around men whether it was in relationships, family, or whatever and I was constantly tell that my voice was less important than their voice," she said of her upbringing.
She had previously spoken out about her anxiety, defending the 'crying selfies' she had posted on social media. Bella stated that she felt "less lonely" after reading the post. "I have had a so much of people reach out and say, 'I feel that way, too.'"
"I posted those photos to let anyone who was feeling that way know that it was okay to feel that way." "Even though matter appear to be so beautiful on Instagram, at the last of the day. We are all the cut from the same cloth," the top model was quoted as saying.
