我们很少对自己满意，因为总有些事做的没能和别人一样漂亮，当自己成为了“不够好”的那一个时，便会不由自主陷入自卑的恐慌——我为什么这么差劲？是不是只有我这样？身边的人会怎么看？

自卑将那些“不够好”的地方放大、加深，让我们以为全世界只有自己这么糟，让我们认定永远无法摆脱“不够好”的困扰。而在这本书中，布莱尼•布朗通过她从访谈中听到的真实故事，用温暖的话语让我们相信：那些以为只存在于你身上的“不够好”，同样也会出现在别人身上；那些看似无法原谅的错和伤，其实是你自己想的太夸张；你认为自卑夺走了人生所有的快乐，那是因为你把时间都用在了对“不够好”的怨恨上。

这是一本给予我们信心的治愈书，更是一本教会我们如何克服自卑的实战集，布朗通过剖析自卑恢复力的四大要素，告诉我们自卑是如何产生和运作的，我们又该如何一一破解自卑带来的恐惧、愤怒和孤立，并zui终将克服自卑的勇气传递下去。

从“不够好”的沮丧，到“够好了”的坚定，当我们学会拥抱那个虽不完美却足够真实的自我时，也就拥有了摆脱自卑、逆转人生的力量。

The quest for perfection is exhausting and unrelenting. We spend too much precious time and energy managing perception and creating carefully edited versions of ourselves to show to the world. As hard as we try, we can not seem to turn off the tapes that fill our heads with messages like, Never good enough and What will people think?

Why? What fuels this unattainable need to look like we always have it all together? At first glance we might think it is because we admire perfection, but that is not the case. We are actually the most attracted to people we consider to be authentic and down-to-earth. We love people who are real were drawn to those who both embrace their imperfections and radiate self-acceptance.

There is a constant barrage of social expectations that teach us that being imperfect is synonymous with being inadequate. Everywhere we turn, there are messages that tell us who, what and how we are supposed to be. So, we learn to hide our struggles and protect ourselves from shame, judgment, criticism and blame by seeking safety in pretending and perfection.

Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we are all in this together.

Dr. Brown writes, We need our lives back. It is time to reclaim the gifts of imperfection the courage to be real, the compassion we need to love ourselves and others, and the connection that gives true purpose and meaning to life. These are the gifts that bring love, laughter, gratitude, empathy and joy into our lives.
