True Words

"If you are required to do something that doesn't fit who you are and you resist, complain, react, or become depressed, anxious, clumsy, or indecisive, you are likely to be scolded, chastised, or further labeled because you've reacted. When you resist, you are likely to be called oppositional. When you complain, you may be called argumentative. When you cry or become depressed, you are called symptomatic. When you become anxious, you are given a pathological label and medication to deal with your anxiety.

But these secondary symptoms are only the result of being pressured or forced to do something that doesn't fit you in the first place -- something that is out of alignment with what is in the best interest of the true you."
