It is normal to feel “i hate myself” sometimes. Or maybe you have felt awkward or inappropriate around other people? Having these feelings is more common than you think. A couple of stories might help you feel less alone by showing these struggles in different ways. One is about dealing with negative thoughts about yourself, and the other is about how it feels to be awkward around other people. They’re real, applicable, and created to assist you in understanding.
What makes us think this way?
On occasion, we may be the worst critics of ourselves. We get aware of the little things about ourselves that we think are not right. We might be to blame because of what we said or did or just the way we are. We may feel stuck when these thoughts keep coming back to us.
Having said that, we are usually much harsher on ourselves than on other people. Negative thoughts can make you forget about positive things. Everyone makes mistakes, but sometimes a small mistake feels very big.
Sometimes it helps to just stop and ask, “Is this thought true?” Talking to yourself like you talk to a friend sounds weird. You should be kind to yourself now if you haven’t already. Begin by daily reminding yourself of a small thing you like about yourself. After some time, this small action can really make a difference.
Reasons Why Is Being With Other People Sometimes Hard?
Feeling awkward in social situations is normal. Afraid of saying or looking silly? You might think that everyone is looking at you and considering your actions. What do you know though? The vast majority of people are not paying attention. It’s common for them to worry about themselves too!
Starting small will help you feel better. Give someone a smile or a quick hello. It does not need to be a considerable issue. Eventually, you’ll feel better. Awkward feelings are normal; everyone has them from time to time.
Remember that you’re not alone
Know that these feelings don’t mean you’re unwell. It’s common for people to have hard thoughts or feel awkward around other people. Knowing you’re not alone can be boosted by hearing or telling other people’s stories.
To sum up, remember that feeling socially awkward is a normal part of being human. Doing little things to treat yourself better is what matters. You should be treated with kindness, and it’s never too late to begin.
