Something happens…

and suddenly you don’t feel like yourself anymore.

​

Maybe you get reactive.

Maybe you shut down.

Maybe you overthink the interaction for three days later.

​

Maybe you feel jealous.

Rejected.

Too emotional.

​

And almost immediately…

you start pressuring yourself to handle it better.

​

Be more understanding.

More compassionate.

More calm.

Less emotional.

Less needy.

Less human.

 

So instead of actually staying connected to yourself in those moments…

you judge yourself.

Suppress yourself.

Talk yourself out of what you feel.

Try to become “better”

as fast as possible.

 

And slowly,

without even realizing it…

 

you disconnect from yourself under pressure.

 

And from the outside?

 

Nobody would even know.

 

Because so many women become experts at functioning while quietly abandoning themselves on the inside.
