30. Social Masks

We often hide ourselves, try to be someone we are not to gain approval from others. We wear masks. If we are our true selves, that requires being vulnerable We are afraid that if we let others see who we are we could be judged. People might not like who we really are deep down. Our brains are terrified of rejection. We desperately want to fit in. When we put on a mask trying to be a happier, more serious, more fun version of ourselves it’s like trying on a costume. www.palmstreet.co/confidence
