Completely agree with all of these, especially #12 and #13! Those are very good points and I can also attest to how much better it feels to stop doing those things in particular. Nothing good comes from hiding who you are and not owning your feelings, especially when you do it for years upon years and end up feeling like you don't even know who you are anymore.

Great article, thank you Lukas!
