I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn’t) is a health book by author Brené Brown.
I Thought It Was Just Me sheds light on an important truth we have long awaited: Our imperfections are what connects us to each other and to our humanity. They are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the fact that we are all in this together.

We spend so much precious time and energy managing our perceptions and creating carefully edited versions of ourselves to show the world. No matter how hard we try, we can’t seem to turn off the tapes filled with messages like: Never good enough! And what will people think?

We are actually most attracted to people we consider authentic and real. We love real people; We are attracted to people who both accept their imperfections and show self-acceptance.

There is a set of social expectations that constantly teach us that being imperfect means not enough. Everywhere we turn, there are messages telling us who, what and how. We learn to hide our difficulties and protect ourselves from shame, judgment, criticism, and blame by finding security in pretense and perfection.
