I think sometimes those of us who grew up in loving, religious families, where there were lots of "rules" about "good behaviour" sometimes have a tougher time of finding and living through our true selves than people who grew up in families that were more inconsistent with their rules. The guilt factor can be huge! I love your "preacher's daughter" image: it makes me laugh and that's always a good way to break the spell of the social self! I can just imagine the awkwardness you must have felt at times - you're far too sassy to play the "good little preacher's daughter" seriously! :) Hey, Deb!

Cuz I am one. And when I'm doing that constant smiling, nodding empathetically while not really listening (ha), not being authentic thing? That thing that's exhausting? That's exactly what it reminds me of. Being a kid and having to do 'the Preacher's Daughter' thing. I love the 'Says Who' question! Another awesome post! Thanks Cath! All the best! deb I call my ‘social self run amok’ ‘the Preacher’s Daughter’.
