Column: Relationships - ACCEPTANCE IS A CRUCIAL PART OF HOW WE GROW UP
Acceptance is essential to developing safe and growth-producing relationships. We can’t grow unless we are sure that we are both known and loved. Some people like us because they are not close enough to know our flaws. Some people know us and as a result of that knowledge, choose not to like us. Acceptance bridges the gap between being known and being loved. It is freeing to understand that being known doesn’t ruin your relationship but actually strengthens it. When you are in an accepting relationship you can stop pretending to be someone you are not. You don’t have to edit every word or behave in a particular way to stay connected.
We are currently facing the requirement of wearing masks in public places. In actuality, most of us have been wearing masks all our lives. We are selective in what we reveal of ourselves, fearful of how we will be judged or seen by others. Acceptance creates an environment of safety that allows us to open up about our struggles.
