“I don’t need people” state of mind

Hi @creative_writer

I am proud of you for calling again. I support that decision. I do the same so supporting because it works for me.

Glad you got some relief from the call.

I understand the emotional drain.

Float away and hopefully dream of tonight and then tomorrow being a better day.

Remember there is often good mindfulness benefit in the calls

Hi @creative_writer

NORMAL. Now that is a wide variable isn't it.

Be you.

Find people who like you

I said in another post, if you can speak as well as you write, you would be president of the Debate team.

I understand we do not say much or write much to protect ourselves.

I would focus on one good person at Uni. I did say, at the Church and wherever I go, I look out for the loner. They are interesting and I chat more.

I hope you can focus on getting your clever mind to accept you have the topics and information and just move forward. The past we learn from. We cannot change it.

Hi @creative_writer

All good.

I am going to see what Thai meals I have in my freezer. Freezer is so full

Are you having Halva again?

Do you chat to your sister or parents?

Do you have any pets? I do not

Hi @creative_writer

I had thai curry chicken, vegetables and rice. I help a friend. They cook for me. I keep saying too much. They do not listen. So my mind has to accept they mean well and just accept it.

Daily events are mind tests. How we deal with it.

Had a dog. Would like one but i enjoy no commitments.

Reason I asked you about talking to family.

Do you know why you battle talking to "people" I am sure your family, or parents may not have agreed with all you say. I understand cultural events.

Why do you battle speaking?

Why get anxious?

Any ideas?

Do you want to work on being more vocal or do you prefer to just avoid it?

Hi @creative_writer

To me, I feel that it is ingrained in us by society and is not at all true. Many of the 'stories' I've told myself are based on society's expectations. You have not lost your dignity at all. You are not broken. There may be things you need to work on healing, or things you need to work at shedding or casting off. But you are whole and beautiful as you are. I feel that story of 'loss of dignity and innocence' is one you can be confident to stop telling yourself. I hope that makes sense. And that is simply my take on it...not gospel as such. But I hope it helps x
