“Why can I not just be myself?”
The 5 Wounds That Stop You From Being Yourself
The answer is often hidden in wounds we carry from the past. They are not visible like scars on the skin — but they live in our hearts, in our fears, and in the meanings we give to life.
Here are the 5 emotional wounds that most often stop us from living freely and fully as who we are:
Rejection 💔
– Fear of not being loved or accepted.
– Shows up as: perfectionism, hiding your voice, fear of failure.
Abandonment 😢
– The wound of being left alone.
– Shows up as: fear of being alone, clinging to relationships, feeling unworthy.
Humiliation 😳
– Being shamed or made to feel small.
– Shows up as: guilt, people-pleasing, struggling with self-worth.
Betrayal (Broken Trust) ⚡
– Trust being broken by those you counted on.
– Shows up as: jealousy, control, difficulty trusting others.
Injustice ⚖️
– Being treated unfairly or not seen for who you are.
– Shows up as: rigidity, anger, difficulty feeling joy.
🌈 Why these wounds matter
We do not live the life we have — we live the life we give meaning to.
When our meaning comes from unhealed wounds, life feels heavy, confusing, and unfair. Instead of living as our Self, we live as our hurt.
But here’s the truth: wounds are not who you are. They are experiences. And experiences can heal.
