Do you ever feel that I’m not enough? And too much is being asked of me?
Well, that may be because you are discovering yourself — that shapes our perceptions of who we are and who we should be. During our 20s once we are in college and maybe High school we struggle to establish ourselves professionally leading to the formation of our personal, and professional identities Each of them carries its own set of challenges and opportunities, and it becomes more difficult when you are growing up with your peers and they have their opinion as well as to who you should be.
The essence of who we are as individuals starts at a very young age, from where we are bombarded with questions and statements about what it means to be "normal" or "acceptable." The idea of being “normal” often comes from peers, family members, Social media, and society. A big part of forming our identity is conforming to gender roles, and adhering to cultural expectations of fitting into certain social situations, the pressure to mold ourselves into predefined roles can be overwhelming, and even toys are divided.
In the face of such pressure, finding and staying true to ourselves can seem like a daunting task. Yet, it is precisely in embracing our uniqueness, and quirks that we discover the richness of our identity. Next, let's consider our professional identity—the roles and responsibilities we assume in the workplace and the broader world of careers. Whether we're pursuing a traditional career path shown to us since childhood or going on our entrepreneurial journey, the pressure to succeed, or achieve financial stability can be immense. we often find ourselves compromising our values, passions, or authentic aspirations to meet external expectations.
Last, but not least sexual identity—the interplay of our attractions, desires, and expressions of intimacy with a partner. In a society that often enforces rigid norms and stereotypes around sexuality, the pressure to conform to predefined labels or expectations can be difficult in today’s era. Whether it's the pressure to fit into heteronormative standards, to adhere to traditional gender roles, or to suppress non-conforming desires, navigating our sexual identity can be challenging.
Yet, our journey towards sexual authenticity is a deeply personal one. It's about embracing the full spectrum of our desires, preferences, and identities, free from judgment or shame. Whether we identify as straight, gay, bisexual, queer, or anywhere else on the LGBTQ+ spectrum.
