Split Between Pleasing and Being
From an early age, we're conditioned to fit in—at home, at work, online. The result? A disconnect between who we are and who we think we should be. Research shows that this **self-alienation** leads to more **stress**, weaker relationships, and faster burnout. If you feel like you're constantly adjusting to expectations, ask yourself: Am I making choices for me or for others? What small step can I take today to be more **me**?
