Do you moan, whine or mumble thinking that things will never change? What about the expression: Poor Me! You’ve heard the next phrase I’m going to write: Misery loves company. There are two types of people in this world: people who are ready to receive help and those that aren’t. Be knowledgeable about which type of person you are.
If you don’t want to be the wounded bear anymore and attract unwanted attention, this post is for you. If you truly want to be alone, communicate in a manner where they understand you. What I mean by that is: stay true to your words. If you say that you don’t want to be around people, posting on social media will not help you with that goal. There is nothing wrong with self-care. We have this one body. We should take care of it. Be authentically honest about where you are and what you’re going through.
When enduring tough times there will be denial, anger, doubt, frustration and more. Don’t let what is going on with you internally, keep you from seeing the silver lining. If you’re honest about where you are, you will be able to embrace the communication of others. Coming to terms with your own crap and owning it is how you disrupt the cycle. However, if you don’t take action, you will default to responding to live this way every time.
Negativity, depression, and pettiness can be comfortable states when you are used to behaving in this manner. The best project you will ever work on is yourself. Fall in love with your flaws, your mistakes. Be humble. Apologize sincerely when you are wrong. Be kind to yourself while you put yourself under your scrutiny. Let the light of other’s wisdom, experiences, and friendship guide you in getting to a better space.
