Taking off the mask – Are you tired of being what everyone else wants?
Jan 25, 2024In a world that often expects us to conform to societal norms and expectations, many of us find ourselves wearing a metaphorical mask to fit in and meet the expectations of those around us.
But what happens when the mask becomes too heavy, and the desire for authenticity outweighs the need for acceptance?
How much have you bent yourself, broke yourself, made yourself small just to conform to „being good“ in the eyes of your mother, father, boss, husband, religion, society?
How much did you annul yourself just so you wouldn’t be judged or wouldn’t be wrong?
As if, when you finally aren’t judged you could be accepted and be happy?
And… did the happiness come?
From my experience – NO!
Quite the contrary... the more you bend over the more you lose yourself and the more you start living someone else's life.
As many of you, I too have been judged most of my life for „Being different“, „Being outspoken“, „Being too loud“, „Being difficult to handle“ as if I was a Lego set without instructions.
Figuring out what it truly means to be me has been a journey, a journey that unfolded over the years. I discovered my true self in those quiet moments of solitude, where authenticity flowed effortlessly. Yet, in the hustle of social expectations, I often found myself dancing to someone else's tune.
Can you relate?
We all do that at one point or another, and sadly many of us for their entire lives.
But it is not the question what others think, how much they judge us or what they do - it is how WE feel about ourselves and our self-worth! It is the question of exploring our authentic selves, tearing down illusions that lead us to believe we need to search in others for validation, acceptance and love…when the only validation, acceptance and love we need is from ourselves.
