It is an elemental need for every human being to be loved. As children we often learn that love is conditional. We do our best to be who others will like and love. In our search for love and acceptance, we become little actors, take on different roles. Those roles are not a conscious choice. We unconsciously step into them to have our most basic need to be loved met. Instead of being our authentic selves, we create a persona which we hope will be accepted and will result in attention and love. The more we are aware of these dynamics, the more consciously we can parent and teach our own children that they are loved no matter who they are or what they do.
