Yes much of this I agree with Jon. Just been looking at a Jung video which contains elements of what you're writing about.
This compartmentalising is something I've come across in my niece's behaviour towards me and others which troubled me, so women do it as well of course.
Interestingly Darshak Rana on substack is writing about similar things, that start early in our childhood when we feel we've disappointed people who are significant to us. It's the culture we live in.
We can keep on being our authentic selves ( It's hard work in this culture often, but worth it, I feel).Or even learning to reclaim our authentic self if we've been pretending for years.
Thanks for sharing, Shirley. We are victims to feeling like we need to split ourselves up from the moments we’re kids. It’s all about trying what we can now to minimize the compartmentalization. It often feels like a lifelong job sometimes.

Jon, as always another great post. The last three paragraphs (The Price You Pay) sum it all up very succinctly!
Keep up the great work
