Malmquist's Psychology & Forensics @psychologyandforensics THE LOST SELF: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CHILD IS NOT ALLOWED TO EXIST AS A SEPARATE PERSON? A PSYCHOLOGICAL LOOK INTO IDENTITY DISTURBANCE IN NARCISSISTIC FAMILY DYNAMICS.

Caption

Have you ever felt like you don't really know who you are - only who you've been expected to be? This is the experience of the lost self - a common but often misunderstood consequence of childhood emotional neglect, narcissistic family systems, and long-term survival mode. When you grow up in environments where your needs, emotions, or individuality were ignored, punished, or distorted... you adapt. You become what others need: - The quiet one - The achiever - The caretaker - The invisible one This isn't your fault. It's how your nervous system protected you. But over time, this adaptation comes at a cost: You lose connection to your inner world - your preferences, boundaries, emotions, and even your sense of identity. Not because you're broken. Because you were conditioned to disconnect in order to stay safe, accepted, or loved.
