Women Who Pretend

Have You Lived Your Life Pretending To Be Someone That You Are Not?

Are you someone who pretends to be someone that she is not? Maybe you have been pretending since childhood. What is at the root of your inauthenticity? Often, fear is at the root of pretense. Women often learn through parents, grandparents, significant others, spouses and media that they are not pretty, intelligent, kind or loving enough. When these messages are internalized we act accordingly. Hence, pretending to be who we think we, "should" be begins.
