03 Fitting In
Manage episode 347380939 series 3417452
Belonging and fitting in are basic human needs, especially for young children so they can grow emotionally. In this episode, Mary will read the next chapter in her book titled "Fitting In," which is about how without a touchstone to help her feel safe as an adolescent, her interests took a turn toward a type of survival she wasn't fit for.
At fifteen, Mary attempted suicide to fit in to a gang of delinquent kids. She fit in alright, but endured some absurd rituals to stay in.
