Are you comfortable?
Many times people say "I am just not comfortable doing..." So I wondered:
- When do you feel happiest about yourself, so to speak "in your own skin?"
- What is the quality that you most value in yourself?
- If not happy with yourself, what stands in the way?

- When do you feel happiest about yourself, so to speak "in your own skin"? When i am alone
- What is the quality that you most value in yourself? Nothing, now I use to value my intelligence, my moral code, my skills, etc... I thought quite a lot of myself.
- If not happy with yourself, what stands in the way? Fear/Shame. Prior to 2019 I was confident, successful and well liked (I thought so). Despite being a chronic alcoholic nothing got in my way, I spent 16 years living out my dream pushing against any and all resistance. I came out on top. Then came my fall and i don't know where that person went to. He has not been seen since I returned from rehab.
@Gettingbettertoday I hear your pain but I admire your courage expressing it. You are in between two worlds so to speak. Not who you were and not who you are becoming. SOunds difficult.
@Gettingbettertoday awww😥 gives you a giant tiny hug ❤❤ your still well liked🙂 I don't just like you I love you. Your always so kind and supportive to everyone. That person inside you that you think you've lost, he's still there, and one day will return and join forces with the changes you. Then you'll be unstoppable ❤
@Gettingbettertoday
Friend - if you don't mind I bless you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
@soulsings
When do you feel happiest about yourself, so to speak "in your own skin?" When I'm in nature (alone) or do something creative
What is the quality that you most value in yourself? My "Stand back up" attitude
If not happy with yourself, what stands in the way? Me 😀, when I find it hard to control my emotions or my tendency to perfectionism
@amiablePeace77 I like your get back up attitude. I am like that too.
@soulsings
It's not how many times you fall, it's how many times you stand up!
@amiablePeace77 I agree. Well put!
@amiablePeace77you don't need to reach perfectionism, because your already perfect ❤
🎶I get knocked down but I get up again, noones ever gonna keep me down 🎶💃💃💃
@Tinywhisper11
Love it! 💙
@soulsings I value my optimism, and willingness😁
oh I forgot the other questions🤔🤔
@Tinywhisper11 oh ok got it! I'm most happiest. When I learn something new. When I'm being artistic. When the sunshine it's light on this magical world
the things that are in my way is fear. And health
@Tinywhisper11 oh you are artistic! Would love to see some of your work. Here is a forum thread that we can post our creative projects in https://www.7cups.com/forum/therapy/CreativityArtscraftshobbiesaplacetoshareyourcreativity_2356/WhatkindsofcreativethingsdoyoudopostapicturehereinthisthreadIfhavetroubleloadingpicsavetoyourdeviceloadfilefromdevice_269893/

- When do you feel happiest about yourself, so to speak "in your own skin?" I think when I'm drawing or writing because I am focused on other things so I don't have time to think about my numerous shortcomings or question my place in the universe.
- What is the quality that you most value in yourself? I am patient. Not entirely certain if that is a virtue.
- If not happy with yourself, what stands in the way? My many shortcomings and incompetence which is frustrating because I feel like I'm not doing enough or giving adequate care for my animals. It's also frustrating when I turn in an assignment and be told that I'm still not "getting" the main point. Then I question my abilities and if I really am capable of pursuing this degree. I quit my first time at a university because I questioned my aptitude. I want to see it through this time. I don't want to be stuck at my current job though. I don't mind the work, but I dislike the organization of the company and don't want to be there any longer than I have to.
@Enthenia I am sorry that you are getting criticism about your work.
I am giving up basing my sense of self worth on what others think about me and my work. I try to do well but I am trying not to cave in if they say negative things.
@soulsings Well I did some reading on subjects I didn't think had bearing on my assignment and I think I have it figured out. I just need to do some formatting and then I can turn it in next week.
Criticism at work is a completely different matter and rather a lengthy subject.
And I can be quite critical about myself depending on the subject. When I do a picture or write something, the criticism usually comes after the fact. Like, I'll notice a spelling error that I should have caught while I was writing or an inked line that should be curved more or straighter in a picture and I get annoyed that I didn't catch such an obvious error beforehand.
@Enthenia I hear you. I am so eager to post things that I do not always take the time to double check it before I hit the post button or print it.
@soulsings That's another thing that annoys me. Seeing a typo right after I've posted something and on some forums, I cannot go back and fix the error.
@Enthenia I hear you. That is frustrating. I will double-check my posts.........I hope!
