I don't know my true self

Self at work, with friends, in front of family.

Do you feel uncomfortable or tired when you see yourself with different characters depending on the location?

Actually, it's not that you don't have it, it's that your "adaptability" is a great proof.

When you stop looking for the only correct answer (true self) somewhere, you will love you more now.

You don't have to define "true self."

Why don't you start by becoming friends with that complex and rich self?

Please save it and use it as a talisman so that you can look back when your heart gets noisy 📚🌿

... Read more私自身も、職場や友人、家族の前で見せる自分がそれぞれ違うことに戸惑いを感じていました。以前は「本当の自分とは何なのか」という問いに悩み、自己矛盾のように感じることも多かったです。しかし、それは決してネガティブなことではなく、むしろ「適応力」という素晴らしい能力の表れだと気づきました。 誰もが状況や相手に応じて自然に振る舞いを変えています。それは自分を守り、より良い人間関係を築くための無意識の工夫とも言えます。例えば、職場では慎重で計画的な自分、友人とはリラックスした明るい自分、家族には素直で優しい自分と、自分のさまざまな側面を出しているのです。 「本当の自分」とは固定的な存在ではなく、多面的で複雑な自己の総体。その多様な自分を受け入れることで、自分自身への理解と愛情が深まりました。違和感や疲れを感じたときは、無理に一つの自分に絞ろうとせず、その時の自分をそのまま認めることが心の安定につながります。 自己肯定感を高め、メンタルケアを行う上でも「一貫性がない自分」を否定するのではなく、その時々の感情や行動を素直に受け止める練習が有効です。これは決して甘えや逃避ではなく、自分自身を大切にするための大切なプロセスです。 この考え方を知ってからは、さまざまな自分を認め合うことで生きやすくなり、人間関係も良好になりました。あなたもぜひ、多面的な自分と仲良くなることから始めてみてはいかがでしょうか。心がざわついたときに、この記事を見返してお守りにしてください。
