Self abandonment is the opposite of being "true to yourself". The self that is abandoned is the distraught and desperate, yet honest and true child. That child, the True Self, is left behind. Sacrificed.
It becomes necessary to abandon the True Self in order to survive; the true and innocent, natural, and beautiful self, in order to survive, so the panicked child thinks. What are my options? What are my resources? I have none...except..........myself.
Do and say what will keep you safe, regardless of your true feelings and thoughts, and likes and dislikes. Keep "two sets of books". Calculate your actions to "earn" your membership, to justify your existence. That's all you can do...you're five years old.
