The Pressure to Conform

We preferred to be a successful version of what others want you to be and we we choose to be an unsuccessful version of what we want to be.

It’s a common experience to feel the pull between what others expect and what we truly desire. There’s a deep-rooted fear of disappointment and rejection when we don’t meet societal or familial expectations.

This internal conflict can lead to a sense of unfulfillment and a disconnect from our authentic selves.

Here are some potential areas to focus on:

  • Understanding the root of the fear of failure or disapproval.
  • Building self-confidence and self-worth.
  • Developing a strong sense of identity.
  • Setting boundaries and communicating your needs effectively.
