The Real Reason You Don’t Feel Accepted | Dr Brené Brown

[@MissiJade]

This is a very tricky subject. The reason being is because when you go through severe childhood trauma, you have to change who you are to protect yourself and be safe. The best you know how is being a child you grow into an adult hood. You completely forget how many layers of masks you’ve had to put on over the years, many people are truly lost and don’t who they are and then we say to ourselves ‘I’m not a liar but I don’t know who I am’ and feeling in authentic or lost of who you are is a horrible feeling. The reason it feels so bad is because you think everybody else knows who they are and you are the only one who doesn’t. I truly believe this is not the case and all of us in someway shape or form, don’t know who we are to the full extent. I can stay with my hand on my heart that I have absolutely no idea who I am. I know little parts of myself but it’s been too long so as we all peel back the layers of the onion to get to its core do we start to feel whole better?

I really appreciate your insight on this topic. It takes courage to reflect on such deep experiences, and your perspective resonates with so many of us. Thank you for opening up!

Well said 🙏🏼 I’m sorry to hear that you ‘lost’ yourself. My spiritual practice (yoga, meditation, bodywork) helped me connect with myself. My daughter was raised with all kinds of workshops and vacation activities to find out what she truly enjoyed. You could still do that for yourself, try all kinds of hobbies and do practices that help you connect with your body and your innermost Self. Knowing starts with feeling what your adult you and your Inner Child want, need & enjoy, a little bit at a time. Help yourself to remember who you are dear 🙏🏼🌺 Take care & a warm virtual mom hug 🤗 🫶🏼

I'm in the process of re parenting myself and finding the real me. Books by Nicole Le Pera really help me. Plus reading Eckhart Tolle and Dr Joe Dispenza are opening my eyes. I love Michael A Singer books also. I am going through exploration. Thank you. 🙏❤️🤗🙂

[@yourinnerchildmatters]

Thank you for sharing your journey! It's inspiring to see how much you're embracing self-exploration. Keep diving into those books; they can be powerful tools for growth!

For me, "fitting in" is too much of a tight squeeze.

[@yourinnerchildmatters]

I totally get that! Sometimes it's better to embrace our uniqueness than to try to fit into a mold.

Yeah, with my family, it's the clique, that I don't belong in.

[@yourinnerchildmatters]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s important to acknowledge those feelings, and I’m glad you felt comfortable expressing them here.

I feel that way as well!
