What a lovely candid story from you, Babita.! I myself am also very good at it, I must say. I have taken very small steps, but the uncertainty remains.
Thanks for your openness. I did numbers 3 and 4 for myself for years and, when I was 21, that meant that I had completely exhausted myself with all the consequences, both physically and mentally. Cognitive behavioral therapy pushed me back in the right direction and, a few years later, also art therapy.
Number 5 you mention, seeing yourself as a victim, used to bother me regularly. Fortunately, I managed to shake that off, and then life suddenly looked quite different.
With age, people learn to realize that not the whole world has an opinion about us. That puts the fear of not meeting “the norm” into perspective. That process is also part of becoming an adult.

This year, I am very consciously trying to instill these truths in myself. The (plague) past no longer serves me (which is why I also delete the blogs on that subject). I need to look at what I can do and let go of the past. Everyone has talents. I admire you for your programming talent, your humor, your candor and, last but not least, your beautiful appearance.
@Ingrid Tips en meer thank you so much Ingrid ❤️ and yes we are so hard on ourselves sometimes. good that we are taking steps to be able to let go of this little by little
@Babita de Boer surely! To be honest, I wouldn't have thought that about you. (Totally not meant to be negative).) You are such a beautiful and knowledgeable person! ❤️❤️❤️
@Ingrid Tips en meer Hi, I've always had this. Most of the time, we think much differently than others, as we see and experience ourselves much more than others. So we have more time to face our weaknesses. 😊
@Babita de Boer True! What we think others think of us is a reflection of how we think about ourselves. But every change starts with awareness. Because if you don't know how it works, you can't consciously change anything about it.
