Of course it makes sense evolutionarily to want to be liked. When we lived in small tribes in the wilderness, not being liked or being cast out to survive on our own could literally cost us our lives. But that is not true in the modern world and in fact trying to be liked by everyone all the time comes at a great cost.

Giving ourselves permission to "fuck it up" is a powerful mindset shift. It breaks down the rigid standards we often impose on ourselves, born from fear of judgment or failure, and reminds us that growth rarely happens without stumbles. 

When we consciously allow ourselves to make mistakes, we invite authenticity, learning, and resilience into our lives.
