To think that ‘live your truth’ is just an excuse for selfish behaviour?

People use ‘living their truth’ to justify all kinds of bad decisions - cheating, cutting off family, quitting jobs with no plan. Isn’t it just rebranded self-indulgence?

Well, cheating is awful - if you're using that as an excuse to cheat rather than 'living your truth' and splitting up with the partner you clearly don't want to be with, that's wrong.

But nothing wrong with cutting off family if they're a negative/toxic influence, or quitting your job with no plan as long as you have decent savings and a work ethic.
