"Because I don't want people to laugh at me." "Why do I care if they laugh?" "If they laugh at me, it means they think I'm stupid." "Why does that matter?" etc. etc. [This may not be at all how your inner dialogue actually runs; I've no idea -- just offering it as an example.] |
Awesome comments guys
And they all kinda pointed to the same thing, which is something I didn't really notice that well until now. This quote really hit me/woke me up. Probably the biggest issue i've noticed about myself is something like this (or v. related.) Just from reading it i'm tempted to go try out a class now. Why should I care about other people's opinions? If you don't like it, bite me.
If anything, it would force a new belief set. Cool huh? Thanks!!
