The Tyranny of Should

As I’m writing my Psychology paper, I am looking up some of the things that I am writing about to see if I could find anything interesting about them online. I stumbled upon this and found it very powerful and I just needed to share it. 

I’d never really thought about this before. Wow.

An excerpt:

Should is a judge. It’s someone else’s expectations. It says, “The way you are, what you’re doing, is wrong. I don’t agree — but I also don’t have the guts to really say so, nor the decency to keep my mouth shut.”

And when you say it, to yourself, you’re saying you’re wrong, that you somehow value someone else’s opinion above your own, that you don’t trust your own judgment.

But that’s not okay. That’s dangerous. Crippling, even.
