Being different in a world that thrives on conformity can be hard and cause a lot of suffering.
Have you ever thought: “but I felt much more confident when my body was smaller!”
When confidence is shaken by the size of your body, it’s not confidence you were experiencing: it was the safety of compliance.
You felt safe because you had the thought you were protected from your fear of judgment and rejection.
The Safety of Conformity
When you seek conformity instead of accepting yourself and your difference from the “norm” you consistently:
- watch and monitor your conformity
- always wonder, “Am I enough?”
- work harder to meet the norm
- your happiness and life enjoyment is dependent on what others think of you.
- Feel constantly anxious… fear of losing acceptance because of missing out on conformity.
