Have you ever thought that depression is actually a “good kid”? Yes, many times, we find that those who have healed from depression have a common trait: they are super obedient! Why do we say that? Because they often overlook their own feelings and needs, always paying excessive attention to others, which makes them feel particularly uncomfortable. Today, let’s talk about this phenomenon, see why this happens, and how to combat it.
Why “the more obedient, the more depressed”?
Imagine someone who always plays the role of the “good person,” they must suppress their true thoughts, cater to others’ expectations. Although they may appear happy and successful on the surface, their true inner thoughts are rarely known. Living for others’ needs for years on end, isn’t that tiring? This continuous pressure and depletion seriously affect one’s mental and physical health.
Why do some people choose to be so “obedient”?
A large number of root healing case studies conducted by Guangzhuyuan Education indicate that this is usually because they have been oppressed and fearfully educated by their parents during their growth, making them think that not obeying will result in punishment. For self-protection, they choose compliance but unintentionally suppress their true personalities.
How to overcome depression?
Therefore, as a “good kid,” you need to ask yourself: Is the purpose of life to pursue happiness, and does this obedient compliance really make you happy? When you dare to face this question, perhaps you will have the courage to resist those external expectations that are not suitable for you and speak with your true voice.
Of course, if the problem is severe, and trying various methods and techniques does not work, seeking help from professionals is a wise choice. For example, undergoing one-on-one root healing to assist you in finding the root cause of the problem from deep within and finding a solution.
Remember, everyone is the protagonist of their own life. Reshape yourself, live authentically, this is the true goal of our lives!
