"真の帰属意識は受動的ではありません。それはただグループに入ることで得られる帰属意識ではありません。それは適応することや、偽ること、安全だからといって自分を売り渡すことではありません。不快な状況を受け入れ、私たちが誰であるかを犠牲にすることなく人々と共にいる方法を学ぶために脆弱性を必要とする実践です。"
— Brene Brown
Simplified Meaning:
True belonging means you actively connect with others while staying true to yourself. It's not about just joining a group or pretending to be someone you're not to feel accepted. Imagine you're starting a new job. You might feel the pressure to fit in by acting differently or agreeing with things you don't believe in. True belonging, however, means you show your real self, even if it's uncomfortable at times. It requires courage to be open and honest, allowing you to genuinely connect with others. By doing this, you can build strong, authentic relationships without losing your own identity. This approach helps create deeper trust and understanding between people.
