9 分钟Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.
Initially, when I was really young, the father wound was quite deep.
So I always carried this feeling of not being good enough.
So I created a lot of separateness between me and other people.
You know, we grew up very poor, had no money.
I'm a very small.
I'm always the smallest person in every room.
And I didn't have a father.
There were so many things that were different about me.
And so I didn't feel like I fit in.
And so I felt quite insecure about whether or not I belonged anywhere.
And over time, that turned into the defensive survivor mask,
that ultra-independent mask, you know, that many of us end up putting on.
And my learning happened through really painful, unsafe relationships.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, I was really looking for someone to affirm me from a very young age.
And so all of my relationships up until my early 20s were very abusive, were really unsafe.
And there's one particular relationship that I was lucky to have survived.
Wow.
