Self doubt the biggest enemy
I've had some experiences where I chose what was the right path for me and then went about sharing it with others but I didn't get social validation. So I started doubting my intelligence and eventually started following others. Thinking I must be stupid and I should follow others to fit in. Then I landed into big problems.
Lesson? Don't doubt your reasoning. Don't be timid. Be courageous. Stay steadfast on your beliefs. Don't look for others to validate you. Be a leader for yourself.
Hiya @Creamyyy, nice to see you!
I appreciate you sharing about your experience with dealing with self doubt and a need for social validation. It’s completely understandable to seek validation from others, especially when you’re trying to navigate your own path. It can be really tough when you feel like your decisions aren't recognized or appreciated by those around you. Feeling discouraged and second-guessing your capabilities is valid here.
I feel, what’s important is that you’ve taken the time to reflect on your experiences and learned valuable lessons about self-belief and courage. It takes a lot of strength to stand firm in your beliefs, especially when external validation can feel so tempting. Your insight about being a leader for yourself is incredibly empowering, Creamyy!
Self-doubt is something many people struggle with, but it doesn’t define your intelligence or potential. It’s okay to have moments of uncertainty in life, what really matters is your perception and how you choose to move forward. Keep nurturing that courage within you, and trust that your unique perspective is valuable. You’re on the right path by recognizing your worth and striving to lead yourself. I believe in youuuuu! 💛
