The Effects of Self-Abandonment
First… what IS self-abandonment?
Self-abandonment is what happens when we turn away from ourselves.
When we ignore what we feel. When we silence what we know. When we override our truth to avoid discomfort, rejection, or conflict.
It can look small.
Saying “it’s fine” when it isn’t. Laughing when something hurts. Staying quiet when something matters. Trying to be who we think we need to be.
What are the effects of self-abandonment?
When we disconnect from ourselves, certain patterns appear.
Low self-esteem. Emotional suffering. Difficult relationships. Addictions — to people, substances, or activities.
We start seeking outside what we no longer give ourselves inside.
We look for validation. We try to control. We blame. We overwork. We numb. After a while, we may collapse.
Look around you.
Can you see how often we are encouraged to ignore what we feel, override what we know, and disconnect from ourselves in order to belong, succeed, or survive?
Most of us were taught to abandon ourselves… quietly, early, and repeatedly.
Can you see it?
