Why do you believe what you believe about yourself… and how much of it was never really yours to begin with? Who decided what “success” looks like for you? What it means to be “normal”? “Responsible”? “Too much”? “Not enough”? And how often are you still following scripts that were handed to you long ago?

Last month, Leslie guided a powerful session on the stories we tell ourselves. This time, we’re going one layer deeper. In this new edition, we’ll explore the stories we’ve been told to believe by parents, teachers, culture, media, and the environments we grew up in, and how they’ve shaped the way we see ourselves and move through the world. Some of these narratives helped us. Others may have limited us without us even noticing. Together, we’ll unpack where these ideas come from, how they stick, and whether they still deserve a place in our lives.

This isn’t about rejecting everything or “reinventing yourself.” It’s about seeing clearly. About recognising which beliefs are truly yours, and which ones were inherited, absorbed, or quietly imposed. Expect a thoughtful, honest, and eye-opening discussion that might shift how you understand your own identity. Whether you joined Leslie last month or not, you’re absolutely welcome. This one stands on its own, and might just change the way you listen to the voice in your head.

你对自己的很多看法，真的都是你自己形成的吗？还是有一部分，其实从一开始就不是你的？是谁决定了“成功”在你眼里应该是什么样？什么叫“正常”？什么叫“负责任”？什么叫“太过了”或“还不够”？而你现在的很多选择，有多少其实是在按照很早以前被灌输的“剧本”在走？

上个月，Leslie 带大家聊了“我们讲给自己的故事”。这一次，我们会再往深一层走，去看看那些我们“被教会相信”的故事：来自父母、老师、文化、媒体，以及成长环境。这些叙事是如何一点点影响我们看待自己、理解世界，并做出选择的。有些帮助了我们成长，但也有一些，可能在我们没有意识到的时候限制了我们。

这场讨论不是要否定一切、也不是让你“重新塑造自己”，而是去看清楚。去分辨哪些想法是真正属于你的，哪些是继承来的、潜移默化吸收的，或者在不知不觉中被加到你身上的。这会是一场比较真诚、有思考空间、也可能带来一些“突然明白”的讨论，也许会让你重新听见自己内心的声音。不管你上个月有没有参加过 Leslie 的活动，这一场都可以单独参加，而且可能会带来不一样的收获。
