What’s easy for me to embrace ?
I. My response I would say , I embrace myself being distant it hurts my closest cousin I am most close to is my cousin Miranda and Emily and her sister
I have slipped fallen in the past on the sidewalk near the basketball court by walking or losing my balance being on a scooter
I accept also as a Japanese geisha I love fish it’s fresh I love prayer easing tension pain eating an apple plum peach
my favorite place is the bathhouse in Japan hot springs
I embrace myself being my job as a winner think like a leader wearing my badge of honor working hard for it being an investigator speaking up towards others been through the same thing as me it’s sexual abuse you can never say it’s your fault it’s not I think like winner leader a captain I been that way since 2024 being captain is a big job responsibility you have to say rules you she to create your win group team gathering it’s being a president for president
@dhabib
It's nice to hear that you embrace yourself as you are and accept the responsibilities you have!
@amiablePeace77 that’s true I have to wear my badge of honor I am great with animals kids it’s protection medical care criminal justice bravery sacrifice
@amiablePeace77 it’s a lot of work the first message I said it’s worth it it’s also scary it’s she’s I can do it I’m studying the law also it’s the dictionary I have the ability to become a trusted detective detective Amanda Rollins law order svu special victims unit
@amiablePeace77 it's easiest to embrace who I am, when I'm on this site, because people here accept me for who I am😁 and when I do something, like art for example, I feel proud of myself. I realise how much I am capable of, and how far I've come ❤
it's harder to embrace myself, when depression kicks in bad. Or a flashback or something like that, that reminds me of the past, and what I am now, the word freak best describes me when I feel like that
but I try really really hard, and I think I'm doing pretty good ❤❤❤

Since I've met you here on the site, I see a flower blooming and spreading joy all over the place. Flowers like the morning glory close their buds when the dark is setting in but then when the sun rises, they open in full bloom again. We are here to help you see the sun whenever it disappears for a while 💙
@amiablePeace77 awwww your so sweet ❤❤I love you ❤
@amiablePeace77 I think it's easiest to embrace who I am when I'm alone. When I'm alone I don't have to worry about saying or doing something that might upset or hurt anyone. I don't have to worry about meeting their expectations
It's hardest when certain thoughts or anxiety and depression show up
@mytwistedsoul
Feeling that you have to meet other's expectations must put a lot of pressure on you and cause more depression and anxiety. You are not responsible for the expectations others have set and neither are you responsible for their possible feelings of disappointment. We can only do the best we can and also only hope that others will do the best they can. For me the important thing is to always try to give your best. What do you think?
@amiablePeace77 I think you're right. It definitely adds to the anxiety and depression that's for sure. For the most part I've gotten better at saying no I can't or won't be able to do something. Some people can get pretty passive aggressive in their disappointment and that's where I really struggle. I try to not to react to it because it just exacerbates things but I'm not always successful
@mytwistedsoul ❤❤
@Tinywhisper11 This is such a cute and funny gif ❤️
@mytwistedsoul ❤😁❤
@mytwistedsoul you perfectly expressed how I feel! I’m sorry you feel like that, it’s not easy
@DarkCloudSurvivor I'm sorry you feel this way too. You're right though - it's not definitely not easy 😅
@amiablePeace77
When it is easiest to embrace my own authentic self is when I am alone.
The most difficult thing to do is go against the grain (my wife, my parents, my uncles)
Please pray for me.
I really want to go back to grad school.

@Swordpsalm
Sorry to hear that your environment makes it harder for you to be yourself. What do you think could help to create more understanding?
I will keep you in my prayers for grad school.
@amiablePeace77
It feels easier for me to embrace myself when I am on 7 Cups because I don't feel like I'm alone. When I log on, usually late at night when everyone is asleep, I feel less stressed and I can think about things more clearly. For most of the day however, my depression takes over and I go back to hating myself.
@NotAllHere713
Being filled with feelings of self-hatred hurts, so sorry that your depression makes it hard to accept and love yourself as you are. I'm glad that you find support being at 7cup but please remember that you can always connect to a listener for a 1:1 chat and some comfort at any time of the day. 💙
@amiablePeace77
When does it feel the easiest for you to embrace who you are, and when does it feel the hardest?
I feel it is the easiest to accept who I am when I am able to think clearly. It is also easy to accept who I am when I am calm and feel relaxed.
I feel it is hardest for me to accept who I am when I think negatively about myself.
@Admirablerainbow2825
I hear you Admirablerainbow, accepting myself is also much easier when I feel relaxed. What kind of things are you doing on a daily basis to find comfort and stay balanced?
Journaling is one of the activities I do to take care of myself.
@Admirablerainbow2825
Journaling helps many people; good you find it helpful too!
