Hello, I'm a heart exploration coach. I'm here to listen to you with warmth and compassion.
Let me give you a warm hug. I don't know what you've been through or what kind of blows and harm you've suffered, but I feel your intense self-blame, which has led to self-denial and an inability to accept yourself.
It's totally normal to feel this way when you're still single. It can be hard to see hope when you're in this situation. Have you ever wondered if you did something wrong, missed something, or got hurt in a relationship?
Life is an irresistible forward motion, just like an electrocardiogram. If a person has had nothing but good fortune, it means that they are "dead."
Let's take a moment to think about self-blame.
Self-blame is really tough. It's feeling pain because of your own mistakes, which have caused irreversible consequences. It's focusing on the past. Self-blame is a kind of self-hatred. It's hating yourself for being incompetent, not good enough, or inferior to others.
There are two main reasons why we might blame ourselves. Sometimes, our actions can hurt others or even ourselves, and we can end up feeling really bad about it.
The second type is when you compare yourself to others and feel inferior, or when you are hurt by others but are unable to attack them back. It's okay to feel this way! It's also okay to hate yourself.
It doesn't matter what kind it is, the root of self-blame is that we can't accept what's happening in the moment. We're stuck in this mind loop of what "should be" and what "has been." It's a vicious cycle that can really take a toll on us. Many of life's challenges stem from this inner struggle.
The past is the past, my friend. Only by embracing the present can we create a brighter future. So, when you're feeling down on yourself, remember that it's not helpful.
Let me show you how you can change self-blame to responsibility.
Responsibility is all about self-affirmation and self-attribution.
"I am the source of everything." What have I learned from this (something that happened in the past) and how can I avoid something similar from happening again?
What can I do to get the result I want? When you do that, your focus goes back to the present or the future.
You know, being able to respond is being responsible. And the great thing is, the ability to respond to situations is an infinite ability! All you have to do is take responsibility.
The wonderful thing about taking on more responsibility is that it can help you to see that life has so much more to offer than you ever realised!
Once you choose to take more responsibility, something wonderful happens! Your inner being will be restructured in a very different way, and you will enter into ever higher levels within. You will gain freedom!
Being responsible is all about taking back the initiative, regaining control of your life, and becoming the master of your own destiny.
I really hope this has been helpful for you. And I just want to say, I love you and I love the world too! ?

I feel you, it's really tough when everything seems to pile up. Just remember, everyone has moments like this. We're all works in progress.
Life is full of ups and downs. It's okay not to be okay right now. Maybe try focusing on small joys each day to help lift your spirits a bit.
It sounds like you're going through a lot. Have you considered talking to someone who can provide support, like a therapist or counselor?
Sometimes we're our own worst critics. Can you think of what you'd say to a friend in your situation? Maybe treating yourself with that same kindness could make a difference.
I know it's hard, but try not to dwell too much on the past. It's gone, and you can't change it. Focus on what you can control today.
