Living in our current society often pushes individuals into a survival mode, where they feel the need to suppress their true selves in order to fit in and adapt. This constant pressure to survive and meet societal expectations can lead to a lack of emotional connection and presence within families, impacting the way individuals grow and develop emotionally.
The cycle of self-suppression and seeking external validation can result in deep-rooted feelings of unworthiness and a disconnection from one’s authentic self.

The Impact of Living in Survival Mode
In a society that values productivity and material success, individuals are often driven to work tirelessly to make ends meet. This perpetual rat race has been ingrained in us for generations, leading to a lack of emotional availability from parents who are also struggling to navigate the demands of survival mode.
The absence of emotional connection and authenticity can leave children feeling unseen, unheard, and unloved, fostering a belief of unworthiness that carries into adulthood.
Coping Mechanisms and External Validation
To compensate for this perceived lack of love and validation, individuals often create a perfect image of themselves, seeking external validation and approval to fill the void of self-worth. This constant striving for external validation can manifest in behaviors such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, and seeking validation through achievements and possessions.
The pursuit of external validation becomes a coping mechanism to mask the underlying feelings of shame and unworthiness.
