Multipotentialites and Mental Health

“One of the most stifling challenges for multipotentialites is the self-doubt we sometimes experience living in a world that doesn’t recognize our strengths (or even our existence). We can be our own worst enemies. We put our ideas down. We second-guess ourselves. We let the fear of being judged keep us stuck in careers that no longer serve us and identities that no longer fit.“

— Emilie Wapnick, How to Be Everything

Growing up in a specialist-centric culture can take a toll on the self-esteem and mental health of multipotentialites.

Of course, not all multipotentialites struggle with mental health issues. Some of us grow up in supportive homes where our broad curiosity is encouraged. But, even if we had the most supportive upbringing in the world, it’s very easy to internalize the ubiquitous societal message that specialization is the only path to success.

At Puttylike, we try to reframe the negative messages we’ve internalized about ourselves and our plurality. In so doing, we address some of the anxiety, self-doubt and other mental health challenges that can arise when one feels unseen in the world.
