Masking as a Function of People-Pleasing
Masking often serves as a coping mechanism for neurodivergent individuals who feel pressured to conform to societal expectations and norms. As a function of people-pleasing, masking involves suppressing one's true self to meet the perceived demands of others, whether in social, professional, or familial settings. This constant effort to blend in and avoid conflict can lead to significant emotional and psychological strain, ultimately contributing to feelings of exhaustion, anxiety, and a loss of self-identity. Understanding and addressing this aspect of masking is crucial for fostering genuine self-acceptance and well-being.
