This fear can be constant.
“What if they ask?”
“What do I say?”
“What will they think of me?”
This is for you if…
- You avoid conversations about work or life
- You feel pressure to appear “okay”
- You feel like you’re hiding something
The pressure to perform
Especially in South Asian communities:
- success is visible
- struggle is private
So you learn:
“Don’t show weakness”
The internal cost
You carry:
- anxiety
- isolation
- constant self-monitoring
This connects to
If you feel like you’re constantly “holding it together”—
Therapy can give you a space where you don’t have to perform.
I offer virtual therapy across Ontario for adults navigating pressure, shame, and identity.
