You weren't born unsure of yourself. You were taught to be.
Somewhere between being a good girl and being a good woman, most of us learned to outsource the one job that was always ours: knowing what we actually think, want, and need.
You learned to check with everyone else first, before you'd even let yourself have an opinion.
You got praised for being easy, agreeable, low-maintenance, so you kept becoming that, at your own expense.
You started calling your instincts "overthinking" instead of what they were: information.
And then you were blamed for the very thing you were trained to do: not trusting yourself.
You're not broken. You're just disconnected from yourself.
this is not another self-help app
It won't fix everything overnight, and it's not therapy. It's a practice: a place to catch yourself mid-abandonment and choose differently, one decision at a time.
