Finding Freedom in Authentic Relationships!

In our world, societal norms and expectations often shape how we behave. This makes it hard to be our true selves with others. From a young age, we learn to act in ways that please our parents and society, often hiding our real thoughts and feelings behind masks.


When we are alone, we are usually more honest with ourselves. We sing loudly and dance freely because no one is watching. However, in social situations, we often change our behaviour to fit in and be accepted. 


From birth, our parents teach us what is right and wrong, often using strict rules and punishments. If we do something they don’t like, they correct us, which makes us start hiding our true feelings and actions to appear obedient.


At work, we also change how we act based on who we are with. We might be very respectful to our boss, even if we don’t agree with them, and treat our colleagues or subordinates differently. This shows how we wear different masks for different people.


In romantic relationships, we might hide parts of ourselves to avoid conflicts. For example, if our partner doesn’t like something we do, we might stop doing it or hide it from them. This can lead to jealousy, arguments, and even secret affairs, creating a relationship full of distrust and control.


Whenever we change ourselves because of others, we start to lose interest in them or get uncomfortable staying around them. We then start to seek others where we can be ourselves because all our soul craves is freedom. That's why we are happier around friends where we can be ourselves. 


To build better relationships, it is important to be true to ourselves and let others do the same. If you care about someone, give them the freedom to be themselves without judging or controlling them. Accept them as they are, even if you don’t always agree with their choices. Forcing your opinions on others can make them feel restricted and lead to resentment.


By respecting others’ independence and accepting them as they are, you build stronger, more genuine relationships. People appreciate being accepted for who they truly are.


In conclusion, to be liked by others and to form strong relationships, practice acceptance and authenticity. Respect others’ independence without judgment. The happiest and most respected individuals are those who are honest and allow others to be honest too.


Be and accept honestly! Because Being yourself with a person is home!

Myth of Trauma

In today's world, the concept of trauma is widely accepted. Many believe that past experiences, especially negative ones, have an impact on our lives, shaping our behaviors and emotions. However, Alfred Adler, a psychologist, offers a different perspective.   Adlerian Philosophy : Trauma as a Choice   Alfred Adler, the founder of Individual Psychology, argues that trauma is not a force that shapes us but a story we create to avoid facing the present. According to Adler, we often use past events as excuses to escape the responsibilities and challenges of the present. This doesn't mean that painful experiences don't happen; rather, it's about how we interpret and use those experiences.   Adler emphasizes the importance of living in the present. He believes that dwelling on past traumas interrupt our ability to take charge of our lives. By claiming that "trauma doesn't exist," Adler encourages us to focus on the present and take responsibility f...

Do you love your mom?

   Mom. We all love our mom; the first thing we do when we reach our home is in search of our mom’s face. If she is not at home, we keep shouting her name, going everywhere and finding her. We only relax after we see her face and talk to her. I don't know how you have a relationship with your mother. My mother is so friendly to me. Whenever I see her standing, I always run to her and hug her, lift her and go around whenever I am happy, even if she runs away from it. We even had deep conversations where I started to understand more about her. One day I forcefully sat on her, holding all her hands and putting pink lipstick on her lips. And I took a picture with her. She looked too young, and I started to admire her. Wow, ma, you look so great. She was looking into the mirror, and she felt so happy. She always tells me before getting married, she used to wear an ugly dress purposely because she thought being beautiful will create a problem. She has four sisters and two brothers w...

The Value Of Quality Relationship Over Quantity!

For many, happiness is tied to being social. From the moment a child is born, they receive attention and care, becoming the center of attraction wherever they go. As children grow, they continue to seek attention from their parents and caregivers. This need for attention doesn’t disappear with age. Without realizing it, we seek attention and love from others in various ways. As we grow older, we continue to crave recognition and validation from those around us. Like a child crying to get what they want, adults also display negative emotions—anger, sadness, frustration, helplessness, loneliness, or hatred—to gain attention. Whether it’s from friends, family, colleagues, or even strangers, this need for attention and love drives many of our interactions. Our inner child constantly craves love and attention from loved ones, and we feel lonely when we don’t receive it. At some point, we all lose ourselves, become very sensitive and become emotionally immature. We show all our weaknesses an...
