The voice telling you to stay small may feel like truth, but it's actually conditioning you can unlearn.

Summary

The video states that people who grew up feeling unseen may develop an internal voice that tells them not to bother others, ask for too much, or take up space. The speaker identifies this voice as conditioning rather than truth and says it does not have to be believed forever.
