Hey, What Other People. ..

[trying2movefwd]

think of me is not my problem unless I make it my problem. What I think of me is what's really important! (AHA moment )- this AHA moment brought to you by the maker of my rational thinking! ...#bouttime

Thank you for sharing. I definitely needed this reminder today.

Ah haw indeed, by gosh by golly I think you're on to something. (heh)

I try to think this way every day. Some days are easier than others.

My therapist wrote years ago on the back of one of his business cards which is on my fridge along with a few others (was speaking of my family) "What other people think of me is none of my business". Good motto to live by.

Ahhh, the dichotomy of man. We NEED to stay on the Island, no one wants to get voted off the island, to be sent home early is to lose the game. (It's a reference to an American tv show called survivor, google it if you don't get survivor where you live). We are hard wired to be pack animals and acceptance means survival and procreation.

Yet, most of us would be so much happier if we didn't give a rats ass about what some judgemental self-righteous sub-human thinks about us. But we do, dammit.

I hate you, do you like me? I don't trust you, do you trust me? That was a mean thing you did there, did I deserve it? Gee whiz......

I had to reteach this today. Thank you for the reminder :)

What you think of me can't be nearly as bad as what I already think of me, which means it isn't really ever a problem!!

Awe Ragdoll Circus that sounds so sad. Honestly I don't think well of myself. I'm just now discovering certain parts of me that were hidden fffor a very long time. ..and some of those I like...but just a few weeks ago I didn't like myself at all!

@Ragdoll Circus , @trying2movefwd , I think we've all had those feelings thanks to what has happened / or been done to us to make us join this forum. But, we are good people with good in us. :angelic: We all deserve respect, love, understanding, compassion, kindness, etc... especially from ourselves. :tup::hug:
