Thank you for the honesty in this reflection. I relate to the way people-pleasing and shaping the truth can begin as a survival strategy when honesty didn’t feel safe earlier in life. It takes real courage and compassion to look at these patterns with awareness instead of judgment. I appreciate you sharing this.
So true! Lying was protection. The truth got us into trouble. Now that we are adults we have the freedom to express ourselves without feeling guilty about it.
A great post . Think we can all resonate there . Especially from childhood. Lie to impress, lie to avoid punishment. Survival structure against each other, quite crazy really. Good call
