Self-sufficiency as a credo
The lack of early support instills a deep conviction: you can only rely on yourself. This belief turns into a tenacious habit – asking for help seems as risky as jumping without a parachute. What was once a coping strategy is turning into an invisible prison.
Shaken self-confidence
The lack of emotional validation in the early years can lead the child to believe that he or she does not deserve attention. This feeling, even if repressed, follows the adult: difficulties in setting his limits, permanent questioning and this embarrassing feeling of never being in his right place. Like an hourglass that flows drop by drop, this perception slowly wears down personal assurance.
