Imagine wearing a mask every day, hiding your true self from the world. How do you know when it's time to take it off and reveal your authentic self?
Many people feel pressured to conform to societal expectations, leading them to wear masks that conceal their true identity. I did this for so long: The polite mask (when people are rude), the smiling mask (when I don't find the joke funny), the conversational mask (when I don't feel like talking). As an introvert it can be tiring being in social situations which are necessary and I've been working on being more honest about I feel, even if it means to disagree with other people.
Some of us have had to learn these skills because when other children were being taught them, we were being taught to "behave"or "be quiet" or "try harder to fit in!" (fill in the blank)- and I don't only mean taught by our parents. So much of society: media, schools and so on, are about "fitting in" and pretending.
The feeling of hiding who we are and then feeling like we have said too much can be exhausting. This can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and a lack of fulfillment.
In this video, I'll explore the differences between a veil and a mask. Are you wearing one to fit in or to express yourself? Are you hiding or revealing your true self? Let's explore these questions together and discover how to embrace your authentic self.
