A thoughtful gesture goes a long way. We don’t need to buy an expensive gift to show our family and friends we care. Sometimes our compassion and support, acknowledgement and appreciation can extend so much further. Sit with someone and truly listen, encourage them, offer companionship, or a hand to hold. Kindness has a ripple effect. Let’s give more thoughtful gestures this season.

Many times forgiveness feels like it’s not an option. It’s far easier these days to ghost and avoid someone than to confront the person or express feelings. Even if you cannot gain closure, you can begin the process of forgiveness for yourself. Releasing resentment allows room for love and acceptance to grow. Forgiveness is not the same as condoning others’ actions, it is simply releasing yourself from the impact those actions had on you.

An inside look at the Film by Jesse Eisenberg, “A Real Pain” (2024), unfolds a touching story examining the relationship between two cousins on a holocaust tour through Poland after the death of their grandmother. The story highlights a nuanced portrayal of emotional immaturity through Kieran Culkin’s character, Benji, and the relationship dynamic’s impacts on his neurotic cousin David (Eisenberg’s character). The film provides an inside view into the psychological pain inflicted on both characters, as it unfolds a story of intergenerational family trauma. For anyone who struggles to comprehend or deal with emotional immaturity and its impact on relationships within their family system, this film is a must see.

Constantly feeling on the outside of a social group creates a persistent feeling of never fitting in. Often this feeling can arise from childhood wounds, being ostracized, bullied, or appearing or acting differently from your peers. Perhaps your unique traits were never fully appreciated by the people around you. Acknowledge the hurt, but learn to recognize that even if you don’t fit in with some situations, you will find your place. Find those who accept you and welcome you as you are.

Symptoms of emotional abuse can often resemble ADHD. When someone has experienced childhood trauma, frequent gaslighting or emotional neglect, they often present with symptoms of inattentiveness, forgetfulness, impulsivity or distraction. Even though ADHD has a strong genetic and biological component, symptoms that show up from exposure to chronic emotional abuse can mimic ADHD.

Sometimes you feel like you don’t fit in because you dress, act, or look different than the people around you. Sometimes you feel a lack of belonging in your surroundings. Instead of seeing this as a weakness, you can view it as a strength. Because you don’t fit in, you may have developed an “outsider perspective,” or a way to view the world in a different light. You may be more accepting of people around you, or want to “fight for the underdog.” You may even be more discerning about the types of relationships you want to have and how you allow others to treat you. When you see you difference as a strength, you can be strong in your inner knowing that you don’t need to fit in, you just need to find the people who fit with you.

When you are a speaker of truth, you carry a lot of power. Sometimes your truth can overpower those around you. And sometimes it is necessary to speak out. Use discernment and recognize that your voice has power, so use it wisely.

Even if you have questioned this statement throughout your whole life, think of the reasons for your worth. Others may be blind to your worth, or they may have such low self esteem themselves that they have felt the need to take you down in the process. If you grew up with critical parents, you may have always questioned your worth and value. So much in fact, that you may be continually drawn to people who also do not value you or put you down. Recognize that you are worth so much more than the box others put you in.

True friendships take work. They are not something to be taken for granted, and require effort and commitment like any other relationship. Sometimes when people enter into new relationships they no longer invest in friendships, but once the new relationship is past its honeymoon stage, they will regret those friendships they devalued along the way.

When we learn to function with greater authenticity, we accept and integrate all aspects of our personality. This starts with awareness of these aspects and an accurate assessment of our core strengths and weaknesses, including both the sunny and shadow aspects of our personalities. Integration includes distinguishing these aspects and attempting to understand them as best as possible to form a “true self concept.”
