just wondering if anyone feels the same way
yep - all the time! it gets worse when I start comparing myself to the other people around me, especially those who are around my age! it’s so hard to admit to all my problems when I see everyone around me living seemingly perfect lives.
do you do anything to help you cope with your problems in the meantime? I try to do lots of self-care (reading, journalling, exercising) and although they do help me feel better in the moment, I can’t help but start thinking that theyre just ways for me to distract myself from actually facing my issues.
I do. I’m scared that people will judge me
yea i feel the same way too. i’ve been watching this motivational video lately, every time i wake up in the morning. listening to it helps me be more accepting of myself and help me gain a new perspective of the problems in my life.
