Dear Clint, ?? When I'm at work, I'm respected, valued, and seen as a strong, decisive figure. However, when I come home, I feel like a completely different person. I feel as though my family and friends often take me for granted or don't understand what I bring to the table, and I find myself questioning my self-worth because of it.? The disconnect between how I’m treated in my professional life versus my personal life is taking a toll on my confidence and sense of self. How can I reconcile these two parts of my life and find a balance that allows me to feel valued in both?? Sincerely, Torn Between Two Worlds ___________________________________________________________________ Dear Torn Between Two Worlds,? I was in foster care for the first few years of my life. I can’t speak to the experience of others, but growing up thinking your parents gave you up because you weren’t worth keeping around is unpleasant. I lived with that feeling for 16 years or so.? My older brother was also adopted. Sometimes, before I’d go to a school dance or hang out with friends, he’d tell me, “Just try not to act like you’re adopted.” I didn’t know how to do that. I still don’t. Could people tell I was adopted by how I acted? Which of my actions gave it away?? The last thing I wanted was for people to know who I was. It’s something I didn’t even want to know myself.? I thought my biological parents gave me up, but that’s all it was at the end of the day. A thought. Turns out they did the right thing, given the circumstances. How’s a kid supposed to know about circumstances? I just wanted to be “normal.”? Normal is a feeling, and feelings aren’t real. They come and go like anything else. How you’re treated at work and home is not who you are; it doesn’t define you. You know who you are. It’s not something that changes based on where your feet are at any given moment. If it does, congratulations, you’re no different than most of us. Turns out you don’t know who you are yet. Now you know that, at least.? More importantly, I have a hunch that how you feel you’re treated at work *and* home is just that. A feeling. It’s not reality. No, you’ll quickly discover the truth once you wake up to it.? I understand you feel you’re a completely different person at home. Is it possible you are? If so, that’s on you. Chin up, shoulders back — you’ve got work to do.? Yours, Clint Betts Contact Email: [email protected] Phone: (385) 217-0670
