STOP VALUING YOUR DOUBT MORE THAN YOUR POTENTIAL
There is no reason to be a people pleaser. People are never pleased
"Your" insecurities are not yours. They are echoes of other people’s toxicity that you absorbed over time. You moved through life like a sponge, taking in their hatred, their flaws, their unresolved pain. These attachments came from exposure, not choice.
When self-conscious thoughts and doubts surface, recognize them for what they are: programming inherited from unhealed people. They are not your voice. The cycle breaks when you stop identifying with them. The difficulty lies in the fact that these thoughts sit in the body, triggering somatic responses that feel real and personal. But they are intruders, unwanted guests, not your intrinsic self.
Detachment comes from observing the feeling without becoming it, questioning why it exists, and refusing to carry it further. When you do this, you shed the weight of other people’s baggage. Their trash no longer defines you. What remains is clarity, confidence, and the freedom to move through life unburdened.
the way I care for people makes me wish I had somebody like me in my life
no revenge because you actually sharpened my discernment.
Life isn’t linear and trying to force it into a straight path creates stagnation. It keeps you in the same version of yourself. Growth is cyclical. Identities evolve. Desires shift. Real evolution requires pivots, redirections, experimenting, detours. A non linear life is alive and adaptive. It’s how you actually grow instead of staying trapped in who you used to be
Jordan Peterson's advice is great for men... but not so for women. A lot of his advice is about humility and restraining yourself, not externalizing blame, to stop being entitled, not becoming a narcissistic monster. For most women (in the western protestant world) their problem isn't due to these, women are too humble to a fault, over-accommodation and people pleasing, chronic self doubt and self denial, they internalize even blame that isn't theirs to take, and are more borderline than narcissistic.
Instead of "clean your room", women need to hear "stop cleaning everyone's room while they destroy yours". Instead of "take responsibility", women need to hear "stop feeling responsible for other people's actions". Women don't need to hear "be humble", they need to hear "stop shrinking yourself and suppressing your needs to make others comfortable". Women are harmed by advice meant for wounded men. It's like giving a dehydrated person diuretics. Ladies, don't listen to JP, not because he's "bad", but because you don't need JP.

from the bottom of my heart: just because something makes you uncomfortable doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed to exist

Real bitches, that are getting a bag. Don’t have to prove to the world they got it. The goal is always to get that bag and disappear. Period
Don’t listen to social media, it’s all just a bunch of lies. Focus on being the best version of yourself and you will always win.
Stop performing and start living.
