life hack: don't think of things as selfish.
i want you to repeat this again, and again, and again: self care is not selfish.
taking an hour in the bath to settle yourself when all that you feel like doing is something worse is not selfish. it is healthy and okay. you are allowed to take time for yourself.
not wanting to talk to others is not selfish. we do not blame cats when they want to be alone, we give them their space. you are allowed to take time for yourself.
wanting to be complimented and validated by others is not selfish. would you ever shame someone for wanting praise? we do not scorn the dogs that seek our approval, nor should we scorn ourselves. you are allowed to seek out approval.
it is not selfish. it is taking care of yourself, and at the end of the day, please do not forget: self care will never be selfish.
