    Overview

    In South Asian culture, the relationship with oneself can be particularly challenging due to deep-rooted societal expectations, family obligations, and cultural norms that often prioritize collective identity over individual desires. From a young age, many are taught to value duty, sacrifice, and the opinions of others, which can make self-exploration and self-acceptance difficult. The pressure to conform to traditional roles and the fear of bringing shame or dishonor to the family can stifle personal growth, leading to internal conflict and a struggle to truly understand and honor one's own needs, desires, and identity.4o
