How she saw herself growing up – Co-Founders story.
From her earliest years, Kelly can remember being surrounded by a plethora of narcissistic people. Although at the time, she did not really know what narcissism meant. However, within her, she always knew that she felt one way while being treated another. You see, Kelly had always been a happy person throughout her life. She had consistently possessed a total calibration and synchronicity within her inner good self. It is certainly something when people told her that she was beautiful and that she was a happy little girl while others told her that she was clumsy, stupid, or unworthy. Not to mention, she was constantly berated, isolated, and mentally abused. This pretty much set the stage for a lifetime of hell.
The pathological lies were quite simple: she is substandard, deficient, and not enough, and if anyone wants to discuss her beauty or her happiness, it would only be marred with her being unworthy. So, you can see how this set her up for a lifetime of calamity from many terrible significant others on through a few one-night stands. Kelly learned to accept that on the inside that she was pretty much worthless. Not because she truly felt worthless, rather akin to Adolf Hitler’s speeches to the masses; if you tell a lie to someone enough times, especially to yourself, it comes believable. This was her biggest and most detrimental lie: that she was lowly beneath the people with whom she engaged. I guess you could say she had been quarantined from her authentic self her entire life.
