Individuation means slow rejection of the box and breaking free from the social constraints that bind our 'masking' to our faces and to our lives. Taking the time to slowly question and challenge what feels awkward, uncomfortable or that which leaves us drained and really train ourselves in disputing what is authentic for us. Of course this isn't done in a single day, but started with a single day when we are prepared to give ourselves space from the noise to reach down to the threads of self deep within, and pull them to the surface, and give one or two or more of them... the spotlight for the day...see what makes the uncomfortable, so uncomfortable.... and find that which answers the self-inquiry questions that so often are ignored and band-aided temporarily with 'masking' that soon becomes the permanent fixture.
