We often encounter people who are particularly afraid of authority and afraid to say no to others. Many times, we assume this is because they are timid or lack confidence. However, this is not the case. Their behavior pattern is often the result of not experiencing 'being loved after conflict' from a young age. When a child's expressions are constantly denied, refusals are punished, and resistance is suppressed, they learn obedience rather than communication. This pattern deeply affects their adult life, and what they fear is not authority itself, but the potential relationship breakdown, emotional denial, and loss of security that may come with it. The deeper issue is that they have never established a stable and independent self. When facing the world, they are accustomed to observing what others allow rather than what they want; considering how to be accepted rather than how to express their true selves. This pattern of weakness is often not due to a lack of ability but a survival strategy formed in childhood. However, when someone truly develops their sense of self, they may not become tough, but they will become more daring to say 'no' and more willing to bear the cost of being themselves. So, when we see someone afraid of authority, we should try to understand their growth experiences and the stories behind them, rather than simply criticizing their timidity. Only through understanding and sympathy can we truly help them establish an independent self and bravely face the world.
