I Realize That I

I realise that I am changing my focus to what I am doing rather than having a focus on what I am not doing. There is a lot that I am doing.

I realise that I am close now to stepping up a level in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I am close to Esteem Needs, which is the level below Self Actualisation. So I have improved from the first to levels, Physiological needs, Safety needs and then Belonging & Intimacy needs, I realise that I was stuck in the first level & second level for a few decades, now I have moved out of that arena. I realise that I still am challenged by Belonging and & Intimacy needs but I am much better.
 
I realize that trying to be kind to all others, or not hurt any others' feelings- which that thought or priority comes as naturally or learned or personality or ingrained as breathing to me, and isn't even a required conscious thought but I 'do'- has left all of them with hurt feelings, and that has left me feeling so hurt and anxious and horrified and ashamed that that isn't something I can live with/ bear. :( Though in truth, it wasn't even my actions that were the original cause, but someone else's that should feel shameful and likely doesn't at all. I have absorbed all their shame, or have shame as a consequence.
