When life doesn’t go your way, you might be disconnected from yourself. You may have hidden parts of who you are to fit in or gain approval. Over time, this creates a false self, a version of you shaped by what others expect, not by what you truly feel or need. Disconnection often begins when you believe you have to show up differently than who you really are.
When you’re out of touch with your feelings, it’s easy to lose sight of your desires, boundaries, and instincts. You might find yourself living a life that looks okay from the outside but feels empty or misaligned. In that way, disconnection isn’t just internal—it quietly steers your choices, relationships, and direction, pulling you further away from a life that feels like your own.
