One of the burdens I think I’ve carried for many years is my wish to be liked or accepted. Trying to be a kind of normal person. Better said, even a nicer person because I had to try to kind of compensate my negative self-image. So much that I have been judging my behaviors, my words, gestures...and evaluating them according to my subjective perception of how I thought I have been perceived.
I understand why I do it. I’m not being hard on myself but understanding, however I realised today that it’s whatever but any positive. Not fair towards others, neither myself and don’t help me a single bit in my way to self-acceptance.
I’m happy. I see it as a big step forward.
