Understanding Authority Issues

Authority issues arise when individuals project unrealistic expectations onto authority figures, causing them to be viewed as less than human. This can manifest as a tendency to either rebel against authorities or attempt to please them excessively. Both approaches distort relationships, leading to a lack of true connection and understanding. Many people struggle with authority issues, often due to past experiences, which hinder their ability to trust and engage authentically with figures of authority.
