You know what, when i realised what it was, i couldnt understand how i didnt see it before?

It was so deep-rooted i just accepted it as a reality, and didnt see it as a belief. I always just accepted that i was second best in life.

Now i know thats just not true!

It had made my day kind of awesome Im looking foward to life more now, knowing that it can be much, much more different!

Love Seth

Well, how long has it been? Four weeks?

Anyways...

Today, I made another discovery with my girlfriend. She is lovely above all else for bringing this issue to light. I have a superiority complex. Or had. Lemme 'splain.

She noticed that I distanced myself from others by "Othering" them. I wanted to be more mature than others, to be better and not worthless. That's when we discovered it.

"I am worthless."

Ring a bell? No? Maybe this will...

It makes sense. It was instilled in me by my father somewhat. Whenever I get good grades and academic stuff, I get good things. But, if I do something 'awful', like play videogames or listen to music, I am view as worthless to him. My father is a much stronger component in my life than I thought.

... I am guessing you guys knew? XD
Which was true. I rejected it though and went after something deeper. Huh. This time was a lot easier to discover and goes throughout my life. My father DID have a handle in this, but I made the decision to decide I was worthless.

And then my secrets totally got deeper into conversation. We discussed blockages in our throat chakra. This made her say the things about me having a superiority complex. And I discussed with her not being able to talk to me often or in a focused manner. I discovered so much in my last relationship. It's a lot even for me to grasp.

We decided to go a label-free relationship, which means we don't set any expectations for each other. This helps us be more open to each other and discover a lot about each other. We need to explore each other more; there is no such thing as deep love at first sight. You may be madly attracted to somebody, but you need to explore everything about this person. We are still growing deeper and deeper into each other. We don't want to hurt each other, but we know that if we aren't open, then we won't discover each other.

*gasp*

It's a lot for me to find out in one night! Wow.

My bisexual lover is so so awesome. I love her to bits and pieces and smithereens. She is so smart and I terribly love her. Thank you secrets. I love you. <3

Hi st33med,

Just as an observation, and nothing you have to do anything with if you don't feel it fits...

But I feel that maybe you have to work a bit more on healing some of the hurts from your last relationship.

For the last few posts one in every 2 you have mentioned your ex. Especially when you are also talking about your current girlfriends.

1. I don't think this is extremely nice for secrets, although I don't claim to talk for her, and she's mature enough to let you know when she notices as well

2. You seem to carry around a lot of hurt from it, and until that is healed you will not be able to generate 100% abundance in love.

Just an observation, do with it what you want

I understand where you are coming from. She's totally fine with it and I love that she doesn't mind. :-)

I am healing by talking this through with secrets and I have gained more understanding and peace of mind and heart with my ex. I did carry a lot of hurt and my heart was quite scarred. I am pretty sure that it is healed, but I am going to see a healer quite soon to heal whatever is left over plus deeper scars in my heart that I am not aware of.

Love you!
Andrew.

Today, woke up uncomfortable again. Stepping out of a gremlinish mindset is quite a shock to the unconscious mind and it wants to go back badly!

It does mean that I am on the right track.

What if you try meditation before going to bed? Meditate and then before going to sleep, set the intention that you will wake up feeling joyful, refreshed and ready to start the day.

Also, don't discount the fact that you are in an entire new environment. That will take a lot of adjusting as well. But that only takes some time, and then things will be back to normal.

It's not about feeling joyful or refreshed. It's just.. My mind and body are uncomfortable right now because I have lived with a superiority complex for quite awhile and it's changing how I live and think. Not feeling tired or such.

And thank you for caring <3

Instead of living with a Superiority Complex, you could just accept the way of being Superior.

Or superior courage.

Or just "Super." Super-uper-duper.

Feeling lost now. So many things have changed in me and it's overwhelming. I can't think of anything, really, and my mind seems to have shut off.

I'll sit quietly and meditate with my mind blank for 20-30 minutes. Just feel a little stressed with this lost feeling.

Yes, I am bringing up this long dead thread now! Don't ban me! *shivers at the thought of ssandra's banhammer*

I feel so different today than I did at the beginning of this thread almost three years ago. I read through the posts of this thread and laughed as I struggled to find something that I wasn't ready to find. I was still holding on to the belief of being powerless because my unconscious mind was completely controlling how I saw things. I didn't want to see the ugly and I was not being as honest with myself through this thread and throwing child-like tantrums that I expected everyone to answer. That was quite heartless of me, but I didn't give it much thought at the time.

And yet, I found out recently that feeling worthless was being guarded by feeling powerless so I kept on saying I can't. Also, I found I was repressing a lot of emotion inside. Very ugly.

Then I started to see what is so empowering. I am not anything. I am just an observer with the choice of seeing and giving meaning to things.

I feel absolutely liberated.

I feel grateful for my past self for finding this. He has done a lot to help me get where I am. I am so thankful to you too, Angela, for reading all of this and really trying to help me. Now I am returning the favor by helping others on this forum with my new founded self.
I am thankful to everyone on this thread who contributed and helped me see the things I am seeing now. I love you all with every fiber of my heart.

I am happy and peaceful and ready to learn even more about the decisions and beliefs I set up.

Love, peace, happiness, and joy,
Andrew
