Your Parents Made You Indecisive | The Legend of a Boy And a Magic Compass

from Beyond the Void: Philosophy & Psychology for the Modern Mind · host btv

Sage grew up in a house where every choice was made for him - what he liked, who he should be, even how he should think. So he learned to wait for direction instead of listening to himself. Then he found a compass that always pointed toward what others wanted, and following it felt easier than choosing for himself. But the more he relied on it, the less he recognized the person he was becoming. And when the compass finally stopped working, Sage was forced to face the one question he had spent his whole life avoiding: What do I want? This story is about losing your sense of self to please others — and learning how to take your life back, one choice at a time. If Sage’s journey feels familiar, you’re welcome to stay.
