Self-awareness Week 3 Prompt 3
With dealing with self-awareness does anybody find it easier to have someone close to help point out red flags gone unnoticed. It's a very good system to have if needed. I myself use it at times. Sometimes a lack of self-awareness isn't your fault but a common symptom of several things. Share thoughts on how a buddy system may help you.
@ThoughtLight
Depends on the buddy i suppose ... some in my life could handle with empathy others would be mean in pointing out the flaw in my seeing things.
@ThoughtLight oh I'm not sure, I don't have any friends, I live in a nursing home, and I socialise, but tend to keep myself to myself. But I do a good job at self awareness by myself. Trigger warning.... Disabilities... I'm a double amputee, I hate people seeing embarrassing stumps, so I wear a blanket always do I'm not self conscious all day.. I also cover my body up so I can hide the scars and missing fingers,what I'm trying to say is I'm a freak, and I do what I can to hide that
hugs light ❤ how have you been ?
@ThoughtLight
honestly if i had a buddy system i would be much better
back when i started going to the gym i used to have a friend as a gym buddy , back then i could have gone every single day without an issue but after he stopped coming along it became harder and harder to commit , to the point that right now i can barely go several months without feeling overwhelmed by lif and not having the time so i quit
i can see how a buddy could help me both in getting better at the things i want to get better at or just making sure that i dontfall too far when the sadness hits
even beyond self awrness , having a body is great
@scorpionpolktanktree the buddy system is the most ideal system for many people. Is there anyone in your life you could begin that system with. Possibly a fellow gym member? There is also an entire subcommunity here on 7 cups devoted to people looking for a buddy or two and get great help just though the 7 cups platform. I would suggest checking it out. If you can't find it, I will gladly hunt it down again and share the direct link with you.
