man I cant stand people who take themselves too seriously over something that is so meaningless and insignificant to the point of it being really sad because they can’t be taken seriously in places that actually matter
Guys stop seeking validation from strangers to feed your ego and your sense of worth; I know it’s hard but that kind of self-esteem should come from within, from yourself.
this is why even if you get thousands of nice comments, that one hate comment can ruin your entire day and throw you into a state of depression; your value and worth are not weighed by how many people validate you but how you hold yourself up and value yourself
You don’t need an army of followers to tell you that you are wonderful
you already are wonderful, fucking admit it
and don’t listen to your haters if you don’t AGREE WITH THEM; their words only have meaning if you give them meaning, you know what I mean?
I have used this analogy several times before, but let me say it again:
Me screaming at the top of my lung that you are a pink elephant DOES NOT MAKE YOU A PINK ELEPHANT. If thousands of faceless strangers all agree that you are a pink elephant still does not make you a pink elephant
you become a pink elephant if you believe you are
ok
you are what you believe to be
If you don’t think you are what you are then your faith is low I guess
And that kind of faith is not built up or imagined up overnight; they require strong foundation and you build that through self-improvements and getting better and more comfortable in your own skin which is fucking hard and takes forever and quite frankly Im not there yet Im more like “eh fuck it” lmao
