“Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength”
– Sigmund Freud
We fear being vulnerable.
We seek approval of others.
We run from difficult feelings and situations.
We feel ashamed of our emotional baggage.
Worst part is, we often try to hide these under our mask because of shame, fear, and anxiety. But hiding only makes us feel worse about ourselves with isolation, emptiness, loneliness, and a sense of self-hatred. When you are wearing a mask, only your mask gets loved as the author John Lynch describes.
