Many young adults are functioning in life while secretly feeling disconnected from themselves. They perform confidence online while battling loneliness, comparison, fear of missing out, fear of intimacy, Falling behind, body-image struggles, emotional avoidance, and the silent belief that they are somehow “unlovable.” This book exists to give language to emotions many people carry but rarely confess.
