When Others Turn Your Survival Into a Story You Don't Recognize

I survived cancer five years ago and everyone treats me like I'm so brave and inspiring but mostly I just feel like I got lucky and I don't know how to live up to the story they've made about me.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Other people's need to find meaning in our suffering can create an identity we never chose and don't know how to inhabit.
