The Power of Staying True to Yourself | Linna Huang | TEDxWHHW Youth

Why do we sometimes feel ashamed of the very things we want most? Lina explores the inner conflict between our ambitions, our values, and the fear of how others might judge us. Drawing on personal experiences and reflections on teenage anxiety and belonging, she argues that staying true to ourselves means learning to accept our desires, overcome self-doubt, and make choices that reflect who we really are. A student who once suffered from self-doubt and conflicts in role of identity but now successfully balances learning -oriented social interactions， friendship-oriented social interactions， and purpose-driven social interactions. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
