THE FEAR OF BEING SEEN

​

It is a form of self-rejection, a lack of self-trust—often echoed in inner thoughts like: “…I’m not gifted… no one cares about me… everyone else has achieved so much, and I…”

​

It stems from childhood beliefs such as: “…people like me are unimportant to the world, we achieve nothing, we’re of no use…”

 

A person with this mindset chooses to stay hidden because: “…if they see me, I’ll mess up again and be rejected once more…”. Time passes, years go by, and yet… life feels too scary to truly live.

 

Maybe it’s time to find the courage to live your life—not the one others expect from you?

​

Does this resonate with you? Feel familiar?

​

The protagonist of this book embarks on the hardest journey in the world—seeking answers to these very questions.

​

When purchased from the Rhetoric Academy’s online store, the book comes with a personal note from the author!
