Can you help me solve my limiting belief?

[coLLege kid07]

I have a huge limiting belief in regards to picking friends/making friends ect.

I believe that if I wasn't unhappy about picking the wrong friends, I could possibly turn out just like them. (mean, selfish) Also hanging out with the wrong kind of crowd could throw me off of the path I want to live, and cause me not to develop as a person.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

You sure your limiting belief isn't

People are mean and selfish. I'm weak and vulnerable to them.

Well, picking the wrong crowd to hang with could throw you off your path. Sounds like you need a belief like I attract healthy, positive, and supportive people into my life.

hmmm...I think your right Angela. Now that I think about it I do feel this way. All throughout the day all my minds telling me is...oh shes stupid or oh well that was a dumb remark. I think the reason I do this is because I'm afraid of being vulnerable myself. I'm afraid that someone will look at me in the same way and notice all of my flaws. However, after admiting this to myself I still don't feel any different. It still feels like this issue is bothering me. So I guess my question to you is how do I go about uplifting this belief now that I finally found it?

Find a belief that works better, one that inspires you, and adopt it. Your old limiting belief will probably stick around trying to strongarm you into believing it, and your job is to practice acknowledging it and surrendering it.

So, what belief would inspire you in regards to making friends? What is missing in your life about friendship, that if it were present it would make a difference? (hint: this belief is about yourself, not about other people.)
