Hello community,


What does the phrase Let Yourself Be Human mean to you?

Thanks,

To me it means letting myself feel and accepting what those feeling are. Also letting myself accept my weaknesses and fears. I was raised believing fear and emotion were weak and to power through those things. "Suck it up and press on," were the words I lived by and forced myself through any feeling of not being strong or at the top of my game. As I approach my 30s I realize that I can't keep this up and that I have to be more human.

Good question in the OP. I do not think I know the answer to it myself. I will see what everyone else has to say.

Don't be too hard on yourself for making a mistake. That's what it means to me.

Great question!

My answer is similar to WovenGalaxy. It's okay to make mistakes. It's okay to be fallible.

I agree with the last two folks. Don't be too hard on yourself when you make mistakes. They are part of being human,

I am human, therefore all I need to do is be.

Being human...to me, it means trying until you get it "right". Don't be afraid to approach things from another angle, and try a different course.

Go easy on yourself and others. No one is perfect.

Be very slow to judge. Humans are all just doing the best they can, I think. Most are, anyway.

Humans make mistakes, humans screw up. Realize this & accept & acknowledge this within yourself when it happens. You don't have to make others (or yourself) think you are perfect.....it is ok not to be.....but always try to be the very best human you can be in spite of that (meaning don't just give up trying either)

I think if we understand the darker parts of our personality we can understand what its like to be really human. Carl Jung said if you show me a sane man I will cure him for you. I like this because we are all flawed and hard on ourselves. We need to stop projecting how we think we are supposed to be by looking at others and try to be ourselves even if you lose friends. We are nowhere near perfect but we can find our happiness from accepting our mistakes.....
