The Shapeshifter

You've gotten really good at changing yourself to fit what others want, just to keep things smooth sailing in your relationships.

Sometimes, this means you end up hiding parts of who you really are, especially if you think those parts might be judged or criticized.

There are times when you end up hiding parts of yourself you think others won't like, to avoid conflict or disappointment.

The Wound - "I don't feel accepted for who I am. It feels like I have to constantly morph into who I think others want me to be, just to be loved and accepted. This constant shapeshifting leaves me feeling exhausted and disconnected from my true self."

I am willing to turn myself into who I think you want me to be to ensure that I'll be accepted.

Lesson - Instead of looking outside of myself at what others need, expect or want from me, I am learning to make decisions from inside myself to do what is right for me.

Your Essence: Mastering the art of adaptation

Question to Consider: If you listen carefully to your inner voice - does it sound something like - "How do I need to show up with this person so they won't get mad, judge me, or leave me?"

You've become adept at changing yourself to fit the mold others expect, to the point where you end up pushing aside the real you. This inclination towards blurred boundaries can foster feelings of disconnection and insecurity.

You might notice that you have difficulty with setting boundaries, this can often be traced back to a childhood where you took on the message that to not do what others want you to do results in being left out - judged or completely rejected.

Insight: Adapting to please others may result in concealing parts of your authentic self. Without honoring your boundaries and authenticity:

Authentic connections & relationships may feel out of reach.
Your genuine desires & needs may be overshadowed by the expectations of others.
Maintaining a sense of authenticity with the feeling that you need to constantly adapt to the needs of others can prove challenging

Be Aware: Adapting excessively to fit others’ expectations can lead to living a life that others think is best and at worst - losing your sense of self entirely.

Silver Lining: By recognizing and honoring your boundaries, you can pave the way for authentic connections and a deeper sense of self.
