Show Notes
When you spend your childhood being misunderstood, projected onto, or told who you are instead of being seen for who you actually are, it makes sense that you carry that fear of being misunderstood into adulthood.
In this episode, I talk about:
• Why adult children of narcissistic parents often overexplain themselves
• What it feels like to grow up being constantly misunderstood
• Why this pattern tends to show up more when you’re overwhelmed or depleted
• What real healing actually looks like when these habits still pop up
