Imagine waking up each morning, putting on a mask that’s not really you. On the outside, it’s this image shaped by what your family and culture expect, but inside, it’s like you’re wrestling with this heavy feeling. Anxiety and depression tag along, showing up because you’re stuck between who you were raised to be and the person you truly want to be.
In your world, family and cultural values aren’t just suggestions—they’re like these big guides telling you what choices to make. There’s this weight to always “make your family proud” and be perfect at everything. Since you were practically a kid, you’ve been trained to be this super-achiever, handling way more than your fair share. People-pleasing becomes a habit, and somewhere along the way, you start losing sight of the real you. The face staring back at you in the mirror becomes a stranger, and loving that person becomes a real struggle.
