Dr. Shiny Unsal traces how childhood punishment for mistakes teaches us to fear being wrong. She argues this fear serves no purpose and keeps us from accepting ourselves fully. Instead, she says, embrace your flaws and align with your own truth rather than chasing perfection.

Because we are all programmed, right, Chris? So I was punished when I was wrong when I was a kid. Were you punished? Yeah. That's why you don't want to be wrong, because we are taught, we are programmed that making a mistake, being wrong, is something to be punished about. Being wrong is shameful. That's how we are raised. But is, is, is it helping us? Is it serving us to become better? I don't think so. I think it's okay to make mistakes. I think it's okay to accept ourselves fully with all the shadows and the lights being that we are, you know. There are all kinds of colors in the rainbow. And because we are programmed in a certain way, you know, do the right thing always, you know, never do the mistakes. Why did you get a 9? Are they out of 10s? That was my household. I don't know how was yours, but it's all this like very old programmings, and that's why you feel like, I don't want to be wrong. If it doesn't resonate with you when you say, I'm always wrong, don't do it. I want you to be you. I want you to align with your truth.
