Why

Graphic by Bruna Costa

Why do people act like they are a different person instead of being who they really are.

Why do people pretend to be someone they’re not.

Why someone would pretend to be a different person, because they’re not happy with the person they actually are.

Why these don’t have to be traumas as serious as being molested or witnessing a death, it could be little things, such as a father being critical or a friend deceiving.

Why am I not good enough.
Why am I not deserving of kindness or love.
Why am I not important.
Why am I a mistake.

Why? People want to protect themselves from further trauma and hide their pain, so they act in ways they normally wouldn’t. It is not even intentional. They may even try to be the idea of an absolutely perfect person. They may become addicts. They may become reclusive or demonstrate OCD behaviors.

Why some people like to control people.
Why some people have problems.
Why we need real people.
Why we need love.
Why we need God.
