Often when we connect with other people we try to show our best sides. We interact in a way that we believe the other person will like, rather than being true about how we feel and what we are experiencing. We are in reality abandoning ourselves to please and be liked by others. This happens unconsciously, we are not aware of it.
It has, in our past, not been safe to be all that we are and we have learnt to shut down parts of ourselves. Gabor Maté states that we have 2 basic needs – authenticity and connection – and we trade authenticity at an early age for connection with our caregivers. This then effects our relationships later on in life.
