I don't have to change myself. I've always been myself. Like many other parents, my parents set high standards and had high expectations. I could not and did not want to comply with that. I had no set plans. As HSP, I did what came to mind. And as HSS, I wanted to try a lot and experience. I have my own way of thinking that does not coincide with the way of thinking of the other family members. Despite the resistance of my parents and my environment, I have always acted, as it suited me. Because of my interest in (para)psychology and the therapy, my eyes are opened for the causes of the dysfunctional family life, in which I grew up. There were many negative aspects. It could never have gone well. I have always adapted my behavior to that family life. But as a person, I have always been myself. I will always stay myself. My childhood is, fortunately, over. That family life is, fortunately, over. My life is now as it suits me. I will feel better and better. Through the therapy. But I don't have to change myself. I don't have to become another person.
