Do you have core beliefs that don't bother you, but concern others?

[Deleted member 29920]

I do have core beliefs that bother other people but it doesn't matter to me as I tend to try my very best to stay away from such people!

I tend to go by where that belief about myself comes from.

If I'm likely to discover it's just been something I learned in darned unfavorable conditions, I reevaluate if still useful, right or wrong doesn't matter (matters, but would spin me, so I go by usefulness, which doesn't to the same depth).

If it's just something I learned because of harmful people in my life, I give the new input benefit of a doubt and/or a chance to correct those beliefs, depending what it is and who from.

And some times, it's not the right time. So I cling to the toxic nonsense for the time's sake, as realizations to the contrary would/do break me harder, at the time, so no, let's wait.

now it is my greatest source of comfort.

I don't think alternative beliefs/spirituality meet the criteria for whatever madness those books have, if not causing impairment or distresss and harming none. So: Cheers on. From another mad. :tup:

This is brilliant!! I'm taking to my T if ya don't mind me borrowing!

Nah, don't mind at all, borrow & use as needed @Freida. :)

My beliefs were gained through insight acquired through experiences throughout my life

I have had success in managing to hold my core beliefs by not engaging with others whom I know hold complete opposite beliefs. Today I don't have the time to challenge what I value in life with others who I know hold different beliefs. Relatively new to myptsd, by reading threads and observing others input I can easily manage to benefit from the positive feedback and experience that this format offers.
