The Voice Inside That Needed to Be Heard
For as long as I can remember, I was the quiet one. Not shy in the way that made me invisible, but quiet in the way that made people think I was just “easygoing” or “content to go with the flow.” I nodded along when others spoke, laughed at jokes I didn’t find funny, and said “it’s fine” even when it wasn’t.

Social psychology
Social psychology, a branch of psychology that focuses on how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts, reveals a profound truth: human behavior does not occur in a vacuum. Every decision we make, every emotion we experience, and every judgment we form is deeply influenced by the social forces around us. These forces — including cultural norms, peer pressure, social roles, group dynamics, and the presence of others — act as invisible hands guiding our behavior, often without our conscious awareness.

My Thoughts Were Holding Me Captive—Until a Prayer Set Me Free. AI-Generated.
I didn’t even notice when the noise inside my head got louder than the world outside. It began subtly. I would lie awake in bed, rehearsing conversations that never happened. I’d think about things I said ten years ago, wondering if people still remembered them. I’d feel ashamed of my mistakes, terrified of my future, and unsure about who I was becoming.
