I have all the weaknesses of humanity, life is difficult and bitter, I am very confused. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I am a 32-year-old single woman who quit my job to study for a master's degree. Perhaps I am pursuing an education to cover up my inner emptiness. I have made the down payment with my savings, and there is only one mortgage house, where my mother and I live.

My parents divorced when I was in high school, and I grew up with extreme material and spiritual deprivation. I have no connections and no enviable girlfriends, all of whom have drifted apart.

I have an average appearance and body shape, and my physical fitness is not good. I was quite proud in my 20s and felt that I was quite outstanding, but recently I have begun to examine myself and found that I am not as good as I thought.

Weak character, habit of avoiding, narrow-minded and calculating, jealous and possessive, lazy and greedy, sharp-tongued and easily hurt others, vain and greedy for pleasure, sensitive and suspicious, short-tempered, short-sighted... I envy girls with happy family lives and good fortune. They are gentle and easygoing, and their every move is like a spring breeze.

I also want to be that kind and generous person, I want to bring happiness to the people around me, but I realize that I have unknowingly hurt a lot of people, and I am very ashamed. I want to know what I am going through?

Are these weaknesses in me a result of human nature? Does everyone have them?

How can I become a more cultivated person who lives a happier life?

Greetings, question asker! I am a venerable, albeit somewhat diminutive, individual.

The confusion that the questioner experienced is a phenomenon that I also encountered during my own academic career.

During my formative years, my familial environment was characterized by a tumultuous dynamic, which led to the development of emotional sensitivity, a proclivity for distrust, and a tendency to engage in self-deprecating behaviors. In response to adverse circumstances, I was prone to experiencing physical manifestations of distress, such as scratching myself after receiving disciplinary actions.

Subsequently, during the course of a relationship, one may refrain from eating for several days due to a disagreement or may be too self-conscious to terminate the relationship when the desire arises. Repeated instances of emotional distress may have occurred, resulting in a tendency to rebound rather than dwelling on one's circumstances and the potential loss of identity. This shift in perspective may manifest as a lack of concern and a sense of carefree abandon. Alternatively, one's professional sphere may have instilled a sense of confidence, enabling them to flourish in other domains.

It is a fallacy to assume that two leaves are identical. The same is true of people. Mortals are not perfect, but they share certain traits. Some people have more of these traits than others.

It is therefore necessary to attempt to reconcile with oneself, to acknowledge one's mediocrity and ordinariness, and to conduct a subsequent examination of oneself in light of this reconciliation.

It is often said that an individual's appearance may initially be a factor in how they are perceived, but that their talent and charisma ultimately determine whether they are attractive to others.

One may choose to pursue the postgraduate entrance exam, thereby demonstrating an aptitude for learning that exceeds that of many others. There is no necessity to conform to the norms of the majority; one may adopt a unique style.

In regard to one's physical appearance, it is possible to enhance one's personal presentation through a conscious and dedicated effort to dress in a manner that is perceived as attractive.

It is challenging to reconcile oneself with the reality that one is ordinary. However, it is evident that the majority of individuals in one's immediate vicinity possess similar characteristics and backgrounds, having established themselves in the city based on their individual capabilities.

As individuals mature, they assume a multitude of roles, which can result in the gradual dissolution of relationships. A hectic lifestyle can lead to the prioritization of certain aspects of life while relegating others to the background. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to conclude that the estrangement of one's friends is a consequence of their diverging interests and commitments.

It is often asserted that an awareness of one's weaknesses can foster courage and enable one to compensate for shortcomings. However, an excessive preoccupation with one's deficiencies can impede resilience and determination.

You indicated that you experienced a positive sense of well-being during your 20s. Consequently, it would be beneficial to identify which aspect of your current self differs from that of your 20s.

You indicated that you have caused hurt to others; thus, you can adopt the perspective of others in the future. If someone said or did this or that to you, would you experience hurt? If so, you can modify your own approach in accordance with this insight. Adopting the perspective of others often fosters tolerance and consideration of others.

In conclusion, it is recommended that the questioner enhance their lifestyle. Frequently, a demanding schedule precludes the opportunity to cultivate emotional stability and sensitivity. Furthermore, it is advised to identify an area of interest and pursue it through continued study. A combination of interest, passion, and expertise can frequently result in an increase in confidence.

I wish you the best of success!

Hello, question asker! I really hope my answer can help you out in some way.

From what you've told me, it's clear you're not someone who is defined by your weaknesses. You're a living, breathing person who can take a good look at yourself, ask for help when you need it, and work on becoming the best version of yourself you can be.

It's only natural for kind people to feel ashamed sometimes. So, how can we say that all human weaknesses have been accounted for?

You say you want to become a more agreeable person, which is great! But, you might have hurt a lot of people without knowing it. I think there are three points in time when we can prevent harming others.

First, we can practice interacting with others in the present. If someone hurts me, how should I respond? When someone irritates me, should I make fun of myself or respond to them humorously?

Second, when we're about to attack, it can really help to think back to the last time we attacked someone. Did we regret it? And it's so important to believe that we can handle this. We can control our tone of voice and our actions. We can give ourselves and others a chance to reconcile. And we can make things easier for everyone involved.

Third, if you have hurt someone, please apologize sincerely. It's up to them whether or not they forgive you. If they don't forgive you, it's okay! It's your responsibility as an adult to take responsibility for your actions. But apologizing is our own business.

I can see that you're feeling cut off from others, as if there's a layer of frosted glass between you and them.

You feel like your original family wasn't very happy, you have few friends, and now you're caught in a bit of a self-defeating cycle. You live on an island, always alone.

This is just your analysis of the situation, sweetheart.

And this also forms your perception of yourself.

I'm not here to judge you or comment on your perception of yourself. I just want to share a method that I find really helpful.

I know you can do it! Can you act?

Instead of dwelling on the problem, why not start now? Act like a positive person and keep telling yourself that you have a high emotional intelligence!

I'm a person who knows how to admit when I've made a mistake and correct it. I'm also a clumsy but sincere person!

I am a wonderful person!

You can be whoever you want to be! Just start acting like that person, and one day you'll be them. Believe in yourself!

I really hope that when we grow old, we'll all be kind and friendly grandmothers!

I'm a 32-year-old single woman who quit my job to study for a master's degree. I think I'm pursuing an education to cover up my inner emptiness. I've already made the down payment on a house, and that's where my mother and I live.

My parents divorced when I was in high school, and I've been struggling ever since. I don't have any connections, and I don't have those enviable girlfriends either; they all fell apart.

I'm not the most attractive person, and I'm not in the best shape. In my 20s, I thought I was pretty impressive, but lately, I've been taking a closer look and realizing I'm not as great as I thought.

I see all the weaknesses of human nature in me, and it makes me feel heavy. I envy girls who have happy family lives and are well-off. They are gentle and easy-going, and their every move is like a spring breeze. I see myself as weak-willed, narrow-minded, and calculating. I'm jealous and possessive, lazy and greedy, mean and hurtful, vain and greedy for pleasure, sensitive and suspicious, short-tempered and short-sighted.

I also want to be a kind and high-spirited person, and I want to bring happiness to those around me. I feel ashamed that I have unknowingly hurt many people. I want to understand what I'm dealing with.

Are these weaknesses just part of being human? Do they exist in everyone?

How can I become a more well-rounded person who is happier in life?

Hello, dear questioner. I'm glad you've asked for help. I can tell you're struggling. You have doubts about yourself because you haven't achieved what you expected in your career, relationships, or interpersonal interactions. You're anxious and feel helpless.

Let's explore your confusion together, with a hug.

I'd like to understand what I'm going through.

I'm 32 and I've just quit my job to study for a master's degree. At 32, most girls are busy getting married, having children and entering a new stage of life.

At this point, you decided to leave your job and go to graduate school. You didn't mention in the title what prompted you to leave your job and go to graduate school, but I think you were unhappy with your previous life and wanted to make a change by going to graduate school.

I've made the down payment on a deposit and only have one mortgage, and my mother and I live here. My parents divorced when I was in high school, and I've been deprived materially and spiritually since childhood.

You saved up enough for a down payment within a few years of graduating, so presumably your previous job income was still quite good. After quitting your job, you no longer have a source of income, but you still have to make your monthly mortgage payments. You live with your mother because your parents are divorced, and you grew up in extreme material poverty, which has made you feel insecure about money.

Even though you're making your monthly mortgage payments, you don't have any income and you have to pay all kinds of expenses every month. This lack of financial security is putting a lot of pressure on you.

You don't have any connections or enviable girlfriends. They all drifted apart. You have an average appearance and body shape, and you're not particularly fit.

The pressure of life and financial insecurity make you feel anxious and at a loss. You hope to have someone to lean on, someone to rely on, but you find that you don't have any particularly good girlfriends or close friends; nor do you have a lover or partner. Thinking about your plain appearance and average figure, and your poor physical fitness, you don't think you have much hope of finding a partner in the future. This makes you feel like a weed in the wind, with no solid foundation, no emotional attachment, and very lonely.

In my 20s, I was pretty proud and thought I was pretty outstanding. Recently, though, I've started examining myself and realized I'm not as good as I thought. I have a weak character, I'm used to avoiding things, I'm narrow-minded and love to argue, I'm jealous and possessive, I'm lazy and greedy, I speak harshly and easily hurt others, I'm vain and love to enjoy myself, I'm sensitive and suspicious, I have a short temper, and I have a short-sighted perspective.

The once confident self has slowly lost its edge in the face of reality. You begin to examine yourself, and suddenly you realize that you are not as good as you thought. You see a self full of flaws, a self that you cannot face. So you fall into a deep state of self-doubt.

I envy girls who have happy family lives and are well-off. They are gentle and easygoing, and they move through the world like a spring breeze. I want to be like that—kind and sociable—and I want to bring happiness to those around me. I realize with shame that I have unknowingly hurt many people.

You envy those girls who have happy family lives and are well off. You feel that if you hadn't grown up with material deprivation and your parents' divorce, you could also be as happy as they are, bringing warmth and happiness to those around you instead of just causing harm. You feel that you have unknowingly hurt a lot of people in the past, and you blame yourself.

Could these weaknesses be part of human nature? Is everyone affected by them?

The reason for the weaknesses you see in yourself has to do with human nature, your upbringing, your family of origin, and your self-perception.

Nobody's perfect. We all have our own strengths and weaknesses. You envy others because you only see their strengths and not their weaknesses.

The self you find difficult to face is the self you see only your shortcomings and not your strengths.

How can I become a more well-rounded person who lives a happier life?

It's important to accept yourself.

Be brave and accept yourself, your strengths, and your weaknesses. Accepting yourself fully allows you to see your true self and hear your inner voice.

Treat yourself with love and care.

If you have someone in your life who loves, cares about, and supports you, that's great. If not, you can still love and care for yourself. When we're happy and joyful, we're better able to interact with others and create more opportunities for happiness and joy in our lives.

Let's make some improvements.

We can't change our upbringing, family background, or personal appearance, but we can make a lot of improvements to our inner selves through self-improvement. There are a thousand good-looking people in the world, but only one interesting soul in a million. We might not be the most beautiful person, but we can be an interesting person.

Interesting thoughts are more engaging than beautiful appearances.

We all have things about our past selves that we don't like, but there's no need to worry. We can make improvements through continuous learning and practice. As long as we are confident and take action, we can start making changes right away.

I hope this is helpful. Best regards.

Hello, dear!

I'm thrilled to have met Xiao Jing. The whole text shows your confusion about life and your desire to improve yourself. I admire your honesty. What happened? Why do you have so much self-dislike?

You're currently at a low energy level, but don't worry! There's an easy fix. Just shout "stop" to yourself and pause in your self-negation. Pause in the upward comparisons.

Do you know what the best thing you can do is? When life is going well, compare yourself with the best of the best to remind yourself to be humble. And when life isn't going so well, compare yourself with those who are less fortunate than us to give yourself some comfort and confidence!

For now, just slow down a little, do what you can in life, and increase your sense of competence and confidence a little. Look back and see if you don't also have many advantages. While you envy them, you don't realize that you are also the object of envy—and that's okay!

Our family of origin influences us, but not forever. When we are young, we are like a drop of water. The harm done to us by our parents is like a dark color that stains the entire drop of water. But, as we grow up, we become a cup of water, a basin of water, and even flow into streams, rivers, and the sea, becoming wider and wider, and our ability to cleanse ourselves becomes stronger and stronger! That touch of color does remain in the form of an undertone, but how much of an impact does it have on us? Kazuo Inamori said that what we have to do throughout our lives is to hone our souls

As we grow up, we become a cup of water, a basin of water, and even flow into streams, rivers, and the sea, becoming wider and wider, and our ability to cleanse ourselves becomes stronger and stronger. That touch of color does remain in the form of an undertone, but how much of an impact does it have on us? It's incredible!

Kazuo Inamori said that what we have to do throughout our lives is to hone our souls and improve our character! There are so many possibilities in life, and growth is lifelong. Let's change what we can, accept what we can't, adjust our mindset, start again at the end, and start afresh!

And may you have good luck! And if not, may you learn compassion in misfortune. And may you have many people to love you! And if not, may you learn tolerance in loneliness.

The future is bright, the world is full of possibilities, and you are worthy of all the best things in life! I love you, and so does the world!

Good day, my name is Zeyu.

It is important to note that human weaknesses are a common occurrence. I can confidently assure the questioner that he is leading a genuine life and is being honest and open with himself. Life is full of challenges and difficulties, and confusion is a natural part of the process.

It is important to acknowledge that human nature is complex and encompasses a range of both strengths and weaknesses. At this moment, the questioner has identified areas for improvement and the challenges of life, which may have led to a narrower perspective on the positive aspects of human nature and the potential for growth and fulfillment in life.

The fact that the questioner was able to leave his job and attend graduate school without securing another position requires a great deal of courage and determination. It is even more impressive to have successfully achieved what you wanted in such a challenging environment, which demonstrates the questioner's ability and inner strength. Has the questioner already forgotten about this aspect that I mentioned?

In a less than optimal family of origin, it is challenging for anyone to achieve their desired outcomes. The individual in question now identifies various negative characteristics and shortcomings in themselves and envies those who are perceived to have more favorable qualities and a more supportive family environment. The individual strives to bring happiness to those around them, but has unintentionally caused distress to numerous individuals, which has led to feelings of guilt.

It is important to note that each of us will undergo growth and change, and you are currently experiencing this process. With regard to envy, it is inevitable that everyone will have someone they envy and will also become the object of envy. It may appear that you have a number of "human weaknesses," but in reality, there are many people who envy you, just as you also envy others. There is no need to be ashamed of envying others; it is important to allow yourself to envy and work towards becoming the person you want to be. This will require time and effort.

It is possible to forgive oneself for causing hurt to others, as this is something that we all do at some point in our lives, whether intentionally or unintentionally. These instances of hurt may not have any negative consequences for the person who has been hurt, and may even have positive effects. It is therefore important to forgive oneself in such cases.

It is important to note that we all have these weaknesses to a greater or lesser extent. However, you are already on your way to becoming a more cultivated and happier person, though you may not have noticed it yet.

I hope you will soon achieve your goals, become the person you want to be, and fulfill your expectations.

Dear questioner, I have read your thoughts and I can tell you are belittling yourself. You have fallen into a cycle of "self-negation." You need to stop this now or you will only lower your self-confidence and your state will worsen.

This phenomenon is the result of cognitive bias, a term defined by the Baidu Encyclopedia as "a phenomenon in which people's perception of themselves, others, or the external environment often distorts the results due to their own or situational reasons."

Everyone has a different perception of themselves. Some are confident and think highly of themselves, while others are self-deprecating and think poorly of themselves. This kind of deviation is bound to cause differences between individuals. Once you open the channel of self-deprecation, you will view yourself with the eyes of self-deprecation and self-doubt. The more you look at yourself, the worse you feel.

This is why you feel inferior to others.

Use the knowledge of cognitive psychology to change yourself.

First, understand that regardless of the objective facts, people have multiple channels for receiving information. Open the channel of excitement, and the incoming information will be exciting, preventing any other information from entering.

This leads to depression. All you hear is your own negativity. You feel bad about yourself. You can't solve the problem. You feel worse and worse.

Second, examine yourself. Self-reflection is beneficial, but belittling oneself is also a form of self-reflection.

The purpose of self-reflection is to solve problems, not create them. If you can't solve a problem in self-reflection, you'll feel uncomfortable.

You must come up with a solution yourself when trying to solve a problem.

If you think you've said or done something wrong, accept that accidents happen. Figure out what went wrong, then decide how to handle it differently next time.

If you can solve a problem, you've improved yourself. If you can't, accept that too. It's only by accepting yourself, your strengths and your weaknesses, all your good and bad, that you can stop feeling worse and worse. If you improve by one percent, you can change a lot.

Third: When you always feel that you are in the wrong, or feel very bad, think about whether it is caused by your magnified feelings. You often envy others, but you are someone who will be envied by others.

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and you are no exception. You have many strengths, and you also have weaknesses. Write down your strengths and read them to yourself. Or, you can read them to your mother and ask her to tell you about your strengths too. You may discover strengths you haven't yet discovered.

Everyone has shortcomings. You and I both do. We are all ordinary people. There can only be so many extraordinary people in the human race. The most important thing is to accept yourself, your strengths, and your weaknesses—all of it.

The world and I love you. You've got this. I'm rooting for you.

First of all, give yourself a big, warm hug! Everyone who answered your question cares about you!

Listen to your inner voice, as if you could see an intelligent woman softly contemplating herself and her life! I feel that you are deeply immersed in the emotions of self-doubt, but you can get through this!

Take a slow, deep look at your own vulnerable and powerless inner self.

Reviewing and reflecting is the beginning of growth! First of all, congratulations on your awareness and awakening—you're doing great!

Our understanding determines the world we understand. And it's so exciting to realize that our understanding is influenced by emotions, feelings, education, family environment, and social environment!

My initial judgment is that your current understanding of yourself is being influenced by your emotions. Therefore, your self-understanding is not true, but the result of your emotions filtering through your eyes.

It is so valuable to have a correct understanding of yourself and to recognize your state of life!

You are in the process of exploring yourself, and it's so great to see you taking this journey! Kudos to you!

The things you are dissatisfied with can be a source of motivation for you to keep improving. They are also a reflection of your inner self, showing that subconsciously you are pursuing a better and more beautiful self. And you're doing it! You're not wasting your time aimlessly, but are looking forward to it!

You can achieve your expectations! It's as simple as two steps: first, assess your current situation in all aspects correctly, and then love and accept yourself for who you are.

We are all ordinary people, but we are extraordinary in our own ways! The world is rarely as carefree as in novels, but we can make it as carefree as we want it to be!

Everyone has their own unique set of challenges and imperfections, and while some people openly embrace them, others choose to hide behind a facade.

The second step is to do what you can to help yourself, like going back to nature, which is a great way to calm down! Once you realize your physical condition, make a plan to exercise your body, exercise at home, and exercise with your mother together to get a healthy body and feel happy at the same time!

Smile and follow the suggestions! The law of attraction is at work here. Your smile will attract people who resonate with you!

You will be amazed at how your mood will improve, and you will be happy too!

Record everything you have that is precious right now! Cherish the present!

What an incredible opportunity you have to be with your mother and show her your filial piety in a warm and loving home! This is truly the most precious blessing. While you are studying for your master's degree, don't miss out on the chance to advance your career. During the current pandemic, employment difficulties are common. As long as mother and daughter stay healthy and get through this difficult time, everything will be fine, and you can study with peace of mind.

How many people are losing money in their stores?

During this period, there's no better plan than to get through it safely and cultivate your character! And don't forget to improve your inner self!

Embrace the ever-changing nature of life! Grow your inner self through the exciting journey of impermanent changes and enhance your ability to accept the beauty of impermanence. Believe with all your heart that everything is the best arrangement!

Everything is here to help us grow and flourish!

The law of cause and effect is being fulfilled in this world, and it's a wonderful thing! You are studying for your master's degree because you have worked hard, and it's going to be so rewarding when you choose a career in the future after assessing the situation and when all the conditions are right. The result will be a natural development, and it's going to be great! Remain calm and bide your time!

Just wait for the flowers to bloom!

Thank you so much for sharing your feelings! It really made me think deeply.

Hello there!

Sending you lots of love!

At 32 years old, I've finally started to truly belong to myself, to bloom and take control of my life. I still have days where I feel a lack of strength and difficulties, but I've learned that the anxiety and fear are not only there to arouse our sense of crisis, but also to help us better understand ourselves, accept uncertainty, and thus be better able to take responsibility for the present.

So why do you feel that you must be "defective"? Compared to those who are confident and exude charm in everything they do, you lack charm and are inherently inferior, aren't you?

As a child, it can be really tough to take responsibility for what happened and resist all the hidden dangers. There aren't many choices, but as an adult, we gradually mature mentally and have the amazing ability to live independently and achieve financial independence. This means we can create a better quality of life for ourselves!

If you've had some tough experiences in the past, it's totally okay. We all have. It's part of life. And it can leave a mark on us, both emotionally and in our personalities. But here's the good news: you can heal. You can accept these experiences and use them to grow. You can learn from them and become a better, wiser version of yourself. The questioner will find that although she has been trying hard to gain the approval of others, she is still imperfect. But everyone is born imperfect. And that's okay! Our task is not to reject and deny it, but to see and accept its existence. Then we will reconnect with our inner self and find a true sense of belonging.

You are worthy of love and respect. Start from the present, but don't be too hard on yourself.

If you use a negative lens to improve yourself, you will make some progress, but you will enter into another cognitive distortion. This is because examining and reflecting on ourselves does not require us to deny ourselves and deny all our weaknesses that seem to be shortcomings. On the contrary, we need to see that we are constantly stressing ourselves and worrying too much that we will lose the ability to feel happiness. We not only need to improve ourselves, but also learn to get along with ourselves and strike a balance with our ego. For example, we can shift the focus of excessive worry and fear to the task at hand. This will not make you lose sight of your goals, feel fear and anxiety, focus on the things that need to be done in the present, and will allow you to escape from the imagined sense of crisis. You can truly live in the present, feel other emotions, and experience a sense of positive experience.

Be your ideal parent and embrace that little child within you!

When you're going through a tough time, it's so important to be kind to yourself. Think of the way an amazing parent would take care of themselves, and imagine that same love and compassion for yourself. See that little kid inside who's feeling scared, alone, and worried about being left behind. Give yourself a big hug and tell yourself you're doing great. You've got this! Encourage and praise that little one inside, and she'll start to feel more at ease.

& Does everyone have human weaknesses? How should we look at ourselves to be happy?

The answer is within everyone, no matter how gentle and serene they may seem. We all have human weaknesses, but what really prevents us from being ourselves is not our weaknesses, but our inability to accept ourselves, affirm our feelings and thoughts, try to reconcile with ourselves, and view things with an open heart. Everything can be at ease and comfortable~^_^.

I'm sending you lots of good luck and encouragement! You've got this!

Hello! I really hope my answer can help you in some way.

There's a fascinating law in psychology: when we lack something within, we will seek it. So, you can go and realize what kind of needs you are seeking to satisfy by pursuing an academic degree!

I absolutely believe that everyone has some of these weaknesses, just to varying degrees. The truly amazing people who can break free from the shackles of "human weaknesses" are the ones who have always been learning and growing themselves. And when I say learning and growing, I don't just mean learning some skills and scientific knowledge. I'm talking about constantly getting to know and understand yourself, and constantly improving your character. So, how do we become happy people?

I've got some great advice for you!

First, let's ditch all those negative labels and embrace our shadow side! Let's accept the whole, true, objective self and be our best selves!

Each of us has an ideal self-image, and the real self is generally a certain distance away from the ideal self. But here's the good news: if the ideal self is too different from the real self, we can simply adjust our expectations of our real self!

What we need to do is embrace this objective self in reality and adjust our expectations of our real self.

Embrace your imperfections! Accept your shadows! When you see yourself in real life, you're seeing the real you. And that's a beautiful thing. Don't deny your weaknesses and shadows. Celebrate them! Even if you don't accept them, they'll still be there. But you'll be free to be your true, magnificent self.

In fact, you are not the only one with a shadow side. We are all imperfect and have our own shadow sides. But here's the good news: we don't have to be bound by them! We can choose to be true to ourselves and accept our imperfections. Instead of expending energy trying to hide our shadows, we can use that energy to embrace our unique selves.

We absolutely must accept ourselves in our entirety, especially our shadow side! As Carl Jung said, "It is better to be a whole person than just a part of a perfect person." And as Romain Rolland said, "There is only one heroism in the world, and that is to love life after you have seen the truth about it."

So, it's time to love this real, imperfect self after seeing the truth of human nature!

Embrace yourself and watch the magic happen! I highly recommend the books "Rebuilding Your Life" and "Accepting an Imperfect Self." Let the wisdom within these pages guide you on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance. As you embrace your imperfections and learn to love yourself just as you are, you'll find your inner harmony blossoming, and happiness will naturally follow.

2. Go on a journey of self-discovery! Uncover your inner needs and use reasonable ways to meet them. You'll become a person who is internally fulfilled!

When we lack something inside, we have the amazing ability to look for it outside!

In the past, I also had low self-esteem, so I always looked outside for recognition and praise from others. However, because I was always internally insecure, even if I could gain a lot of recognition and praise, I still didn't feel good enough. But I've come a long way since then!

In fact, this direction is not right. What we need to do is look inward. And when we do, we'll find that our inner needs can be met in a suitable way. And when that happens, there's no need to look outward!

Once I learned to love myself, believe in myself, and build my inner confidence and security, I realized that unexpected recognition and praise weren't as important to me as they once were. If it happens, great! It's the icing on the cake. And if it doesn't, that's okay too. I've learned to recognize and believe in myself, I'm self-sufficient, and I know I have my own value and advantages. I'm no longer going to doubt or deny myself because of what someone else thinks.

3. Make it your mission to record three good things in your life every day to enhance your sense of well-being!

We evolved from primitive ancestors who needed to be constantly on guard against danger in the primitive forest. So our genes are programmed to be more sensitive to emotions such as anxiety and fear. We humans are naturally more concerned about negative events. However, in modern society, there are no longer so many dangers, which is great news! Our genes always want to come into play, making us very anxious and afraid of certain things. But in fact, these things are not as scary as a tiger in the primitive jungle. In fact, it may just be a kitten-level danger, which is still something to be aware of.

So, let's make our lives more positive and beautiful! We can do this by practicing feeling happy, paying attention to the beautiful things in life, and enhancing our sense of happiness. How? By recording three good things every day in positive psychology!

Every day, find three good things in your life and record them! Each event can be recorded in one sentence (you can write more if you want), and you can also add a sentence of thanks to upgrade it to a grateful event.

Record all the amazing things that make you happy in life, and all the incredible things you've done!

Record all the amazing things in your life that make you happy! It could be as simple as chatting with a good friend on the phone or as big as acing an exam. You can thank anyone who's made a difference in your life, including yourself, your family, friends, or even nature! While writing, really feel the joy and excitement of all the wonderful things you have to be grateful for.

Once you've written it, you can share it with family, friends, and even strangers! You can also invite family and friends to participate together.

We hope you find this helpful! Wishing you the best!

I can relate to feeling lost and questioning our worth at times. It sounds like you're facing a period of deep selfreflection, which is both challenging and brave. By acknowledging areas for growth, you've already taken the first step towards change.

It's important to recognize that everyone has their struggles, even if they aren't visible on the surface. The qualities you admire in others—kindness, generosity—can be cultivated within yourself too. Start with small acts of kindness every day.

Tobias Anderson Forgiveness is a way to make our hearts a haven for love and kindness.

Your feelings are valid, and it's okay to not have everything figured out. Sometimes we need to unlearn negative patterns instilled in us over years. Therapy or counseling could offer support as you work through these issues. Remember, healing is a journey, not a destination.

The imperfections you see in yourself are part of being human. We all have aspects we wish were different. What matters is how we choose to grow from them. Surround yourself with positive influences and role models who embody the virtues you aspire to.

Newton Davis To cherish honesty is to cherish the bonds of human connection.

Change doesn't happen overnight, but it does begin with selfawareness. You've shown great courage by looking inward. Now, set realistic goals for personal development. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small. Over time, you'll find yourself becoming the person you want to be.
