Growing up neglected in childhood can lead to a false sense of identity, imposed by parents who couldn't see their children for who they truly were. This often results in a developmental delay in forming a sense of self and personal preferences, leading to reliance on others for validation and constant efforts to meet parental expectations.

People who were neglected in childhood often turn out with a false identity that they were pressured into by parents who couldn’t see who they were AT ALL. This a pattern I’ve come to recognize in hundreds of letters I receive. There’s a developmental delay, almost, in forming a sense of self – of knowing your preferences, what make you make happy, what you long for. Some people just imprint on another person, a boyfriend or girlfriend. Other people flame out, burning themselves out by trying and trying. In this video I respond to a letter from a woman whose parents still don't "see" her and she's enraged -- which is holding her back.
