    Why do we feel the pressure to fit in when we were born to stand out?
    We learn from Psychology, broken down by the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs that Love and Belonging are a huge psychological need.
    Therefore people may feel pressure to conform so they fit in or are accepted, or so they don't feel awkward or uncomfortable. In today’s instalment we unpack the pressures of trying to belong and fit in.

    Andiyeki ke uthandaza that you never fall into the trap of "content creation" and stick to what God has called you for. You are doing so well in this, just being yourselves and doing what God has called you to do. You have no idea what you do for us your tribe. Never doubt that!

    You guys are the real deal. It's in the way you look at each other ( like you are saying into me see 'intimacy' without saying the words), it's in the way you affirm and compliment each other, the way you touch each other. Your relationship is God ordained. I pray you stay together till death do you part.

    This installment was so good "The consequences of being different" 🥺 "Your tribe will love you for who you are" I am at a better place now for living my own life.
    Comparison almost stole my Joy and I like that God helped me and is continually teaching me the need not to compare.
    I understand seasons and fully immersing myself in them and allowing God to develop my character in those seasons
    "Find your tribe and love them hard" I love that
    Thank you Mr and Mrs Makhs

    Interesting episode "love your tribe and love them hard". Secondly, It's also interesting how we also have our own hidden biases and silently contributing to societal pressures on when to marry and have kids. I'm referring to Lerato's " joke" on Liquidip and people who aren't married. Such biases often come out unintentionally and that's exactly what puts so much pressure to fit in and even fall into trap of making wrong decisions. Maybe this is another topic that you can unpack in the next episode. I don't know how the title will look like because I feel like it's part of this topic and it just reflected some of our lived experiences.

    I love this channel so much, thank you The Makhs for your authenticity and robust conversations. You always speak to the season I am in. The journey of self actualisation is lonely and it's filled with opposition. Prayer is vital on this journey. It's also important to remember that people will only understand you in hindsight. Agreed there is no need to want to fit in because we need to embrace our unique purpose.

    There is a reason why the word of God speaks about the importance of being embedded in 'community'. In my opinion, there's always that 1/2 people one can be vulnerable to about what's going on but because of pride and "abantu bazothini" we do not. I don't necessarily believe that telling people about your challenges is making it their "problem" unless you have expectations for them to give you money or material things, but having someone to pour out to which is vital in our life journey.

    That’s so true Mr Makhs, when you chase yourself and building your life, you don’t have to sweat to fit in, your tribe will find you there.

I thought I'm not better off without them, but I had t take a step and stand for myself . Trust me is not an easy decision to make or is not easy to break that chain, but I believe you can do it Masego. You are capable. God gave you that authority.

    Once I finally got this revelation in my life, I realised how much I need Jesus even for the very breathe I take. Not people. Don’t be angry with people. At work, at church, your family. If we could learn this, even as Christians we would let go of certain people without “cutting them off” because we are bitter. Let go of expectations and love people for who they are. That’s it.
