Are you letting other people's expectations hold you back?

Beautiful conversation with your kids. I'm sure that late spilled over into their marriage and their spouses.

How can I break free from holding back my true self to develop and flourish, especially when others may not want me to succeed or stand out, and instead find ways to protect and nurture my authenticity while still belonging and connecting with others? By holding myself back, I prevent my true self from emerging, in order to avoid intimidating others, gain acceptance, and maintain social norms. I was self protecting. Holding back on my own sense of self to develop and exert itself A parent doesnt want my true self to come out, I do. I tried protecting myself, by trying not to succeed too much, trying to avoid failing trying to belong trying to do everything that will make them attuned, But not be competitive.
