"Learn to
recognise and accept yourself"
The humid rainy day fogged up the mirrors and layers of dark clouds covered the sun. Walking down the street, I covered my face with my umbrella, letting the rain fall on my body and slowly soaking my clothes. Passing by a shop, I saw the exquisite clothes inside and my blurred face reflected in the window. The rain slowly stops, the glass becomes clearer and clearer, and I only dare to look at the dresses in the window.
I imagined myself in a dress that shone brighter than the sun, dancing in the setting sun, with people in a hurry looking at me. Looking at the exorbitant price on the label of the exquisite dress, I still gritted my teeth and paid. I longed for others to recognise my looks, my figure, my position of wealth. And by buying this dress and wearing it in all its glory, would I be satisfied...?
“Anxiety
×
Perfectionism
×
Unstable self-worth”
The zeitgeist and widespread anxiety have led to the growing phenomenon of narcissism among women. But the first thing that needs to be said is that narcissism is not a disease, it is an adaptation to a harsh environment, a way of hiding the true self.
Why do some people have to go for plastic surgery and liposuction when they have outstanding appearance?
Why do many people have to use beauty filters when taking photos?
Why do some people always fall into a dilemma emotionally - when they choose to be close, they are afraid of being hurt; when they choose to stay away, they are afraid of being alone?
This is because they are more or less lacking in their hearts and want to make up for their lack of self-worth with success, money, and recognition from others; they act rationally and frankly, but they have deep insecurity and low self-esteem.
In this activity, we adopt the drama healing method not only to let everyone experience the complex emotional relationship between the characters in the script, but also to let everyone discover some of their own inner depths that they may not have discovered.
So that you can learn to accept and love yourself.
Understand what you want, and go after what you want, not what society expects!
