Hey man, been a bit but wanna respond. I’m gonna send you a chat request so we can be able to stay in touch easier. Appreciate your thoughtful reply. One of my big problems is that I often define myself by my most recent performance. If I meet somebody new and I feel I didn’t come across as confident, it’s like it defines me. But if I go through an interaction and I feel I did well and presented confidently as I want to, then suddenly I redefine myself as strong and confident. It’s a big struggle for me. I go from feeling like a loser to feeling like a winner just based off how the last situation played out. Have you struggled with that? One other giant factor I forgot to mention is getting rid of your resentments you may have against anyone. Anger and fear hold us back so it’s good to have some healthy conversations with our family members or others who we hold anger against for anything in the past. Try to solve it through discussion with them. Another thing I wanna mention is to go back and create different narratives and endings regarding any part trauma as a child. Trauma might be too serious of a word to use but I just mean, for example, if you have an experience being bullied as a kid on the basketball court, then go back to that same court if you can and try to play a game there with some nice people so you can create a new memory in place of that old one. Doing this can allow us to leave certain things in the past. Since we’ve spoken I’ve finished a book on Alexythimia, and debating what book I wanna read next. Are you reading or thinking of reading anything to help you on your journey?
