So many young people WANT to be their REAL true self, but when they experiment with that, they feel deep INSECURITY, because it doesn't look like what everyone is 'LIKING' on social media, etc.
OR...they find little tips and tricks to increase CONFIDENCE, but they do it at the expense of being who they really are. They are confident, but FAKING it.
And this tension gives rise to anxiety.
So they feel like they have to choose...
BE REAL (and INSECURE)....
OR
BE CONFIDENT (and FAKE)...
And both options lead to deep stress and anxiety...or depression.
