Limiting Belief: I believe I will burden others and be negatively judged, abandoned, dismissed, and hurt if I express myself vulnerably which means I can't be authentic.

It's been hard for me to admit that I'm lost and that I don't know what to do because I don't want to be judged for it. I don't want to be questioned and viewed as a failure for not having a plan for my life.

Flipping the Script: I may trip people up if I express myself vulnerably but that doesn't imply that there's anything wrong with my authentic self. In fact, there is NOTHING wrong with me. All I can be is me, and I can't control how people respond to my vulnerability.

I have to realize that there's nothing wrong with me being a person who is lost with no plan to move forward with their life yet. If I do tell people, they may look at me a certain way for being lost, but that doesn't say anything about who I am. I'm still loved, even if I'm lost. And I CAN be authentic about what I'm going through. I CAN'T control how other people are going to react to it.

Conclusion: I may trip people up if I tell them how lost I am. But that does NOT imply that there's anything wrong with my authentic self. In fact, there is NOTHING wrong with me. All I can be is me, and I can't control how people respond to my vulnerability.
