Who am I when I am not performing? How do we lose ourselves?
Imagine standing in front of a mirror that doesn’t just show your face but your soul. Would you recognise yourself? For many of us, the answer is no. From the moment we step into school, get our first report card, or hear “good boy” or “good girl,” we’re nudged into roles. Slowly, without even realising it, we trade our real self for a version of ourselves that fits what others want.
Let me share a little story. I once mentored a young man named Prabhat. Brilliant artist, wild imagination—but he’d buried it all under business studies, just to meet his family’s expectations. “I’m not really creative,” he told me. But when he finally picked up a paintbrush again after ten years, he cried for hours. That’s the power of meeting your unperformed self.
According to a survey by YouGov India, 62% of people aged 18–30 say they feel disconnected from their true passions. That’s not just sad—it’s a soul-level wound.
Why does this happen?
-
Fear of rejection
-
Desire for approval
-
Cultural and family pressures
-
Social media perfectionism
These pressures create what psychologists call a “false self.” A performative identity designed for survival rather than fulfilment. But survival isn’t the same as living, is it?
Learning to live Beyond Roles
“Learning to live” means reintroducing yourself to the person underneath all the ‘shoulds.’ Ask yourself:
-
If no one was watching, what would I wear?
-
What would I create?
-
Who would I love?
Drop your answers in the comments. Really, I’m asking you—not rhetorically. This is a space for the unheard and unseen.
And while we’re reconnecting with who we really are, don’t miss this heartfelt reflection on True Friendship—because real friendships start when we show up as our true selves.
Why do We Perform: Is It Survival or Just Habit?
Ever caught yourself laughing at a joke you didn’t find funny, just because everyone else was? Or nodding in agreement when your heart was screaming “No”? That’s performance—not in a theatre, but in life. And the thing is, most of us don’t even know we’re doing it. It’s such a part of our daily routine it feels like habit. But is it really habit—or is it survival?
When I think about this, I remember a workshop attendee named Nitya. A quiet woman in her early thirties, she’d spent her entire life being “the perfect daughter.” Good grades, no arguments, marrying who her parents picked. She wasn’t unhappy exactly, but she wasn’t alive either. That’s when it hit me: most of us confuse staying safe with staying silent. We perform because, at some point, it was the only way to survive.
According to research from the Journal of Social Psychology, individuals conditioned to people-please from a young age have higher cortisol levels—meaning, your body literally experiences stress just trying to “keep up appearances.”
The roots of Performance
-
Childhood Conditioning: If you got love only when you behaved a certain way, that leaves a mark.
-
Cultural Scripts: “Good girls don’t talk back,” “Real men don’t cry.” Heard these before?
-
Fear of Rejection: Nobody wants to be the outsider, the misfit. Especially not youth navigating identity in a hyper-judging social media world.
But here’s where things shift. Once survival isn’t the main goal, why keep performing? Why carry masks you no longer need?
Learning to live without the act
Learning to live soul-aligned is like breathing without holding your stomach in. At first, it feels wrong, vulnerable even. But then—relief. Freedom. You realise you don’t need applause when you already approve of yourself.

What happens When You’re Always ‘The Good One’? Burnout and beyond?
Have you ever carried a heavy lift so long that you forgot how to set it down? I want to introduce you to a friend named Rahul. He was the quintessential “good boy”—top of his class, model son, a rock for everyone else. But one evening, he collapsed in exhaustion. There were no sirens, no dramatic breakdown—just silent tears as he lay on his bedroom floor at 2 AM, thinking: What happened to me?
Because here’s a truth we rarely admit: being “the good one” often means hiding pain so everyone else feels safe. That constant caretaking, the emotional armour—it doesn’t feel like burden until you wake up one day unable to carry it. And let me tell you, burnout doesn’t come with a label—it’s not like you can Google your final straw and find validation. It sneaks in, whisper by whisper, in the form of anxiety, numbness, or anger you don’t understand.
🔍 Unearthing the signs of burnout
Burnout isn’t just tiredness—it’s a soul exhaustion. Here are some markers:
-
Emotional Numbness: You stop feeling your own emotions—or feel too much.
-
Chronic Exhaustion: Sleep doesn’t help; hide your face in pillows for hours, still fatigued.
-
Loss of Meaning: The things that used to light you up now feel dull.
-
People-Pleasing Guilt: Every “no” feels like a betrayal, every “yes” feels like surrender.
According to a recent WHO study, emotional burnout isn’t limited to corporate fatigue — it’s becoming a national crisis among youth, creatives, sensitive men, and caregivers. That tells me our identity is too often tied to performance, not purpose.
🎭 Why ‘The Good one’ is a Performance, Not truth
Why does society value “the good one”? Because they’re safe—safe to lean on, safe to please, and safe not to rock the boat. But safe doesn’t mean healthy. In locking ourselves into perfection, we shut out curiosity, spontaneity, and self-acceptance. We isolate ourselves in loneliness disguised as service.
Your identity becomes codependent—yes, the people you help might appreciate it, but your soul pays the price. The constant need to be everything and always available pulls you away from emotional resilience and spiritual dharma—your unique purpose.
🌱 Reclaiming Your Emotional Resilience & Identity
Here’s the shift: emotional resilience doesn’t come from serving others endlessly—it comes from knowing your boundaries, defending your energy, and aligning to your inner truth.
How to Begin:
-
Emotional Check-ins: Pause during your day. Ask: How do I feel right now?
-
Permission to Say No: Rehearse “No, I can’t” in the mirror. Feel the power? That’s emotional muscle-strengthening.
-
Create Emotional Anchors: Simple rituals like lighting a candle before bed or sipping tea with intention can ground you when burnout snakes in.

What was the moment everything felt too heavy?
Your vulnerability opens the path for someone else to heal. We’re in this sacred mentorship together—nobody’s glorifying pain, but we're walking it side by side.
What does my soul want? Rediscovering your true self?
Close your eyes for a second. Imagine all the noise—the deadlines, texts, likes, expectations—just fading into silence. What’s left? That whisper you hear in the quiet? That’s your soul. And trust me, it wants more than survival. It wants purpose, freedom, and joy that isn’t dependent on anyone else’s approval.
Storytime:
I met Anika, a quiet graphic designer, at a retreat last winter. She confessed something that stuck with me: “I don’t know what I want anymore. I just know what everyone else needs.” That’s the unspoken tragedy of modern life, especially for soul seekers and youth today. We’re conditioned to respond—answer emails, fulfil roles, meet expectations—but rarely to reflect: What lights me up?
According to a 2024 India Youth Report, 71% of millennials and Gen Z feel disconnected from their life purpose. That’s not just a statistic—it’s an emotional emergency.
🌿 How does this disconnection Begin?
-
Cultural Noise: From childhood, we absorb “goals” that aren’t ours. Become a doctor, buy a car, get married.
-
Trauma Response: Many of us self-isolate emotionally after heartbreak or failure. We shut down our desires as a form of protection.
-
Fear of Disappointing Others: When your identity is based on making others happy, your own happiness feels selfish.
But here’s a truth: Dharma isn’t what you do for others—it’s what your soul came here to express. That could be through art, healing, business, relationships, anything—as long as it’s truly yours.
✨ What science and spirit say
Studies from Stanford’s Centre for Compassion show people aligned with personal values and passions have 40% higher happiness markers. Meanwhile, Vedic philosophy calls this “Swadharma”—living according to one’s soul’s unique rhythm.
Ask yourself:
-
If money and fear weren’t factors, what would I wake up excited for?
-
What makes me lose track of time, in a good way?
Write these down in a journal. Honour them—they are clues to your soul’s signature.

How can I shed old labels and affirm my soul identity?
Picture this: You walk into a room full of people who know you only as “the responsible one,” “the shy one,” or “the black sheep.” Labels hang on you like ill-fitting clothes. Heavy, itchy, not quite yours. Yet, for years—maybe decades—you’ve worn them because they made others comfortable. But here’s the raw truth: Those labels don’t belong to your soul.
I had a session once with a woman named Priya. For years, she carried the label “the difficult one.” Family, teachers, even friends used it whenever she spoke her truth. But when we did a simple exercise—writing out all the labels and burning them—her voice literally changed. It became lighter. That’s not just metaphorical. Emotional release impacts the nervous system.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, chronic identity suppression is linked to higher cortisol levels and increased rates of anxiety and depression. This isn’t just philosophy; it’s science-backed soul work.
🌿 Why do labels stick so hard?
-
Survival Mechanism: Labels help others understand us quickly, but that shorthand erases our full story.
-
Cultural Expectations: Especially in collectivist societies like ours, fitting in is survival.
-
Internalised Fear: “If I’m not the helpful one, will I still be loved?” Sound familiar?
💡 Ritual to shed old labels
-
Write It Down: List every label or identity that doesn’t feel authentic anymore.
-
Burn or Tear It: Safely destroy the list while repeating, “I release these roles.”
-
Affirm your Soul Identity: Stand in front of a mirror. Say:
-
“I am not my labels. I am my light.”
-
“I affirm my soul’s truth over society’s labels.”
-
“Learning to live as my soul-aligned self is my birthright.”
-
Repeat this ritual whenever you feel weighed down by old patterns. It’s not one-and-done; it’s a practice, like brushing your soul’s teeth.
While you’re shedding the old, take a moment to reflect on new beginnings with Hello Everyone—a post about showing up as your real self in the world, labels discarded.

How can I hear My inner voice Over Outer Expectations?
Let me ask you this: when was the last time you made a decision purely because it felt right, not because it looked right? If you have to think about it, you’re not alone. Most of us are so busy tuning into what our parents, bosses, friends, and even random social media posts expect of us, we forget how our own voice sounds.
I once worked with a client named Zain. Talented photographer, but he hadn’t picked up his camera in months. “It just doesn’t feel important anymore,” he said. After some digging, we found the real story: family expectations. “Real men don’t chase hobbies.” That’s how outer voices drown the inner one.
📻 Why It’s hard to Hear Yourself
-
Cultural Echo Chambers: Especially in tightly-knit families, it’s easy to mistake others’ desires for your own.
-
Fear of Failure: Your soul might whisper a risky path—leaving a job, starting a passion project. Outer voices often push safer options.
-
Trauma imprints: When you’ve been invalidated often enough, you stop trusting your own instincts.
A University of Cambridge study recently highlighted that 80% of adults between 18–35 report they struggle to distinguish between personal desires and societal pressures. That’s a silent crisis in identity development.
🧘 How to tune into your Inner Voice
1. Meditation for Soul signature
Sit quietly for five minutes, eyes closed. Ask internally: What do I really want? Don’t force answers. Wait. The quieter you get, the louder your soul speaks.
2. Journaling questions
-
What would I do if no one had an opinion about it?
-
When did I last feel fully alive, not just functional?
3. Saying It out loud
Speak your truth to a mirror. Yes, it feels weird. Do it anyway. Speaking out loud rewires neural pathways toward authenticity.

And if self-doubt feels inherited, read Can You Really Inherit a Broken Heart?—because some silences are passed down generations, not just chosen.
Who would I Be If I didn’t need to impress Anyone? What’s my raw self?
Think back: imagine yourself at 10 years old, barefoot in a garden, painting with mud and dandelion juice—pure expression, no approval needed. That child didn’t need likes, didn’t worry about filters or followers. So who is that person now, after years of “being good,” “fitting in,” and “surviving” by meeting others’ expectations?
Let me tell you about Ramanuj—a marketer turned poet, until life told him to act like a “responsible adult.” He stopped writing because poems didn’t pay bills. Sound familiar? One day, he found his notebook under old files, cracked it open, and an old line jumped out: “Freedoms are born in ink.” That spilled him, all over again. He cried. That’s not nostalgia—it’s his soul remembering.
Why this Matters:
When we stop performing, the raw self often cries out to be seen and heard. If ignored, we:
-
Lose creative flow
-
Feel an inexplicable emptiness
-
Sacrifice authenticity for perceived security
Healing Prompt:
-
Journal: “If no one cared what I did, who would I become?”
-
Sketch, dance, write—freely, without editing or judging
-
Share one creation anonymously, if sharing publicly feels too scary
Depth Check:
This isn’t cute self-care—it’s healing legacy-building. You're giving your inner child permission to exist out loud. When that spark reignites, clients who feel unseen will find hope in your example.

How do I meet my soul signature through meditation?
Meditation isn’t a cliché—it’s a conversation with your essence. And no, you don’t need to sit cross-legged for hours. Let me guide you through a soul-signature meditation designed for silent souls, misfits, and anyone yearning to feel real again.
🕯️ Quick Meditation Practice (10 Minutes)
-
Create a Safe Container: Light a candle—if you have one—and sit comfortably.
-
Ground In: Place your hands over your belly, breathe deeply: in 4 counts, hold 2, out 6.
-
Invoke the Question: “Show me who I am beneath all the roles.”
-
Listen With Your Body: As images or feelings come up, don’t judge—feel them in your chest, your belly, your bones.
-
Name Your Soul’s Buzz: It might be words (Freedom. Wildness.), colors, or sensations—whatever arises.
-
Close With Gratitude: “Thank you for helping me remember.”
When I led this for a group of emotionally shut-down men, one whispered afterward, “It’s the first time I didn’t feel broken.” Healing in a sentence that felt personal, felt ancestral.

What are some affirmations for Authenticity I Can Use daily?
Affirmations aren’t fluffy feel-good statements—they’re powerful tools to shift your identity from “performer” to “soul-led.” These short, potent phrases gently reprogram your inner narrative, helping you stand in your truth each morning, moment, and moonrise. Imagine starting your day knowing your worth isn’t tied to someone else’s approval. That’s what learning to live soul-aligned can feel like.
🔑 The Power Behind Authentic Affirmations
Neuroscience supports this: repeating affirmations activates the brain’s reward pathways while weakening neural circuits tied to self-doubt. In simpler terms? Words can remodel your brain—and your life.
But here’s the catch: they only work when you feel them, not just say them. That’s why I suggest a three-step ritual—feel it, say it, live it.
3-Step Ritual to Activate Soulful Affirmations
-
Feel it
Sit in stillness for two minutes. Tune into your chest or belly. Let yourself feel your deepest longing—authenticity, compassion, freedom—before speaking any words. -
Speak it
With intention, say your affirmation aloud. Not like a robot; here’s your chance to be truly seen—even if only by you. -
Live it
Align your next small action with the affirmation. If it’s “I set boundaries with kindness,” practice saying no to something unnecessary today.
Here are 15 Powerful Affirmations to Begin With
-
“I release the need to perform—I show up as truth.”
-
“My soul’s voice matters more than others’ opinions.”
-
“I am enough, exactly as I am.”
-
“Living soul-aligned is my daily practice.”
-
“I breathe into freedom every time I pause.”
-
“It’s safe for me to say no and mean it.”
-
“My desires are valid and worthy of attention.”
-
“I trust my inner compass.”
-
“Every day, I shed another mask.”
-
“My mistakes don’t define my worth.”
-
“I am safe being fully seen.”
-
“My purpose unfolds when I quiet the noise.”
-
“I belong to myself first.”
-
“I create from the truth of my heart.”
-
“I am learning to live my soul’s signature.”
Putting them into practice
-
Morning mirror ritual: Pick 2–3 affirmations, stand before a mirror, breathe, speak them, and let them soak in.
-
Sticky-note reminders: Place affirmations where you’ll see them—on your phone, fridge, or desk.
-
Evening integration: Before bed, say one affirmation and reflect: How did I live this today?

Why share my performer self vs. soul self comparison?
Let me ask you straight up: What’s the story you tell the world versus the one you whisper to yourself in bed, lights off, eyes open? Because those two versions of you—the Performer Self and the Soul Self—are often so far apart they might as well live in different cities.
The Performer Self is the curated highlight reel. Polite smiles, responsible decisions, showing up to jobs you hate, staying in relationships that drain you. Sound harsh? It’s reality for so many sensitive men, youth seekers, creatives, and silent strugglers.
Take Ishita, a client who spent five years in corporate law while dreaming of opening an art studio. Her Performer Self wore sharp suits and crushed KPIs. But her Soul Self? Barefoot in a sunlit room, splattered with paint, music in the background. Her real breakthrough didn’t happen until she shared both sides publicly in a blog post. “It felt like I was giving people permission to do the same,” she told me, eyes shining.
That’s why sharing matters—not for ego, but for community healing.
🔍 What’s the psychology behind sharing your truth?
According to Dr. Brené Brown’s research on vulnerability, people who regularly express their authentic selves experience:
-
32% greater resilience during stress
-
27% increase in perceived life satisfaction
-
Lowered cortisol levels due to emotional honesty
By sharing, we aren’t just broadcasting—we’re building bridges. Especially for youth and emotionally shut-down adults who feel like no one else gets it.
🌱 How to create your performer vs. soul self Comparison
-
Make Two Lists:
-
Performer Self: Roles, behaviours, things you do to please others
-
Soul Self: Activities, values, desires that feel purely you
-
-
Reflect:
-
What’s one small action today to bring the two selves closer together?
-
-
Share It:
Post it online, journal it, or voice-note a trusted friend. Healing multiplies when witnessed.

What performance have I lived so long, I think it’s my personality?
Let me be blunt: if you’ve ever believed your performance was just who you are, it’s time to question that. When roles go unchecked for years, they fossilise into identity. You start to believe you are that performance, not realising it might be a survival suit you never took off.
🔍 Here’s how you Know you’ve Identified with the performance
-
You protect it fiercely.
The moment someone challenges your “good daughter” or “strong provider” role, you feel attacked—not them. -
Letting it slip triggers identity loss anxiety.
Miss step in the role? You feel lost, like suddenly the world doesn't know who the real you is. -
Creative or spontaneous impulses feel risky.
That spark inside you whispers for freedom, but you fear it’s “not you.”
One youth I guided, Priyanka, took on the “perfect student” label so hard, she couldn’t tolerate an average grade—even though she loved art. Her performance mask blocked her soul signature from emerging. It wasn’t until she openly shared “I got a B and I’m proud because I tried something new” that she felt real relief. Her shame turned into pride—and inspiration for others to do the same.
🌿 The cost of confusing role with self
-
Emotional Exhaustion: You live in constant vigilance, terrified of slipping.
-
Shattered Purpose: Your soul’s call gets muted, tucked away by fear.
-
Damaged Connections: You show up as role, not person—others may like that role, but they miss you.
Psychology today calls this “role-constraint trauma”—the slow strangling of your authentic self under the weight of imposed expectations. It erodes resilience, creativity, even your physical health when stress becomes constant.
🛠️ How to begin detangling role from soul
1. Reflective Journalling:
Write: “I am not just a ______; I am someone who ______.”
Example: “I am not just a daughter; I am someone who longs to write poetry.”
2. Small Acts of Rebellion:
Do one small thing that feels true to your soul, even if it contradicts the role. Sketch in public, sing in the shower, refuse a task that drains you.
3. Witnessing Circle:
Share your real self with one person trusted. Have them reflect back what they see beyond roles. Hearing the real you named aloud is medicine.

Who was I before they told me who to be? Reconnecting with childhood innocence?
Pause for a breath. Now, try to picture yourself before the world started shaping you—before school uniforms, report cards, or social media profiles. Maybe you see a little version of yourself drawing on walls with crayons or singing loudly without knowing all the words. That’s not just nostalgia. It’s a spiritual exercise called Inner Child Work.
Many sensitive souls, youth seekers, and emotionally shut-down adults lose touch with this innocent part. We wear grown-up masks and forget we ever existed without them.
🌱 Why reconnect with the inner child?
Science backs this up. According to the American Psychological Association, reconnecting with your childhood self reduces stress, increases creativity, and boosts emotional resilience.
But beyond statistics, it’s about healing old trauma patterns:
-
Self-Isolation: Many creative misfits withdrew emotionally because childhood authenticity wasn’t safe.
-
Suppressed Joy: We bury spontaneous joy to “fit in.”
-
Unprocessed Shame: Moments when teachers or parents said, “Don’t be silly,” or “That’s not for boys/girls.”
Storytime:
In a workshop last year, I asked a room full of professionals to bring a childhood photo. One man in his forties, silent all session, suddenly broke down when he looked at his. “I don’t remember the last time I felt that free,” he whispered. That’s the power of asking: Who was I before they told me who to be?
🛠️ Tools to reconnect with your inner child

How does learning to live soul-aligned impact my health and relationships?
Ever felt like no matter how much yoga, green juice, or therapy you do, something still feels… off? That’s often because we’re treating symptoms, not the root cause. And that root cause is living out of alignment with who we really are. When your actions, relationships, and daily rhythms don’t match your soul’s truth, it’s like running a car on the wrong fuel. Eventually, something breaks down—either in your body, mind, or connections with others.
🔍 The science of soul misalignment
A study published in The Journal of Positive Psychology found that people who live authentically show:
-
22% lower cortisol levels (stress hormone)
-
Better immune system responses
-
Decreased risk of heart disease and depression
But what’s equally important—and what most people miss—is how soul alignment affects relationships. When you’re pretending or performing, even unconsciously, you attract connections that are built on those masks. That means:
-
Shallow friendships that fall apart under pressure.
-
Romantic relationships where neither person feels truly seen.
-
Family dynamics full of unspoken resentment.
Story:
One of my clients, Rhea, spent years in a “perfect marriage” where both she and her husband pretended everything was fine. When she started living more soul-aligned—speaking her truth, making space for creativity—that marriage ended. Painful, yes. But now she’s in relationships where honesty is the foundation, not performance.
🌱 How to realign your Health and Relationships
-
Daily Check-In:
Every morning, ask: “Where am I ignoring my truth today?” Adjust accordingly. -
Soul-Centric Conversations:
Practice sharing one vulnerable truth per day with someone you trust. Build relational intimacy. -
Body Listening:
Your body often speaks before your brain does. If you feel tightness or dread in certain situations, ask why.

How can I book a paid consultation to go deeper?
Reading blogs, journaling, meditating—they’re powerful. But sometimes, you reach a point where self-work isn’t enough. You need another soul, a guide, someone outside the noise of your daily life to hold a mirror up and say: Here’s your truth. Now, let’s live it.
