The “let them” theory is all over social media. Here’s what therapists think of it.
Over the last few months, the “let them theory” has been all over the internet. It all started over the summer, when Mel Robbins, a popular motivational speaker, went on Instagram and shared an idea she said she’d just heard about and “frigging loved.”
In the video, which now has over 33.5 million views and 1.4 million “likes,” Robbins outlines what “let them” means by way of examples.
“If your friends are not inviting you out to brunch this weekend, let them,” Robbins says matter of factly. “If the person that you’re really attracted to is not interested in a commitment, let them. If your kids don’t want to get up and go to that thing with you this weekend, let them.”
As Robbins sees it, too much time and energy is wasted on forcing other people to match our expectations. Just “letting them” is a better response, especially in our romantic lives and friendship.
“The truth is, if somebody ... is not showing up how you need them to show up, do not try to force them to change,” she says in the clip. “Let them be themselves because they are revealing who they are to you. Just let them. Then, you get to choose what you do next.”
