Once you begin to really get to know yourself and value authenticity, it’s terribly difficult to engage with those who don’t. I try to remind myself that they are likely operating from a place of disingenuousness as a protective mechanism to avoid pain and/or rejection.

The most “real” people I know have gone through times in their lives where they lost themselves completely and operated from a disconnected place (I include myself in this statement).

Resilience is finding the strength to remember who you are again, in your own time, at your own pace.
