From “Buddha’s Brain”
“Consider renouncing specialness—including being important and admired.
Renunciation is the antithesis of clinging, and thus a radical path to happiness.”

My two cents: This is a big hurdle on my healing journey.
I had to be the ultimate overachiever to survive my father’s abuse.
He told me I needed to be twice as good as everyone else, how do you renounce specialness when it depends on survival?
How do you unplug that being, that ego, that performance-based soul?
We get lost in no man’s land between the present and past trauma.
