Which aspects of yourself do you think you need to improve upon or that you believe help you get by in life?
Aspects of myself I need to improve on: being more social and socially active in person. I also need to develop hobbies, activities and favorite places outside my house. I have to work on all of this. It’s very important but can be difficult.
Aspects of myself I believe help me get by in life: kindness, empathy, passion/passionate, dedication, determination, ambitious, patience, tolerance, love, self care, self respect, never giving up no matter what
@akunknown
There are many things I need to work on too and it can be done, not all in one go but step by step!
@amiablePeace77
Yeah absolutely. Unnecessary to put so much pressure on yourself to work on everything at once when you have enough or more than enough time to work on things like this.
@amiablePeace77
Things I need to work on
Social Skills
Empathy
Gratitude
Resilience
Fear of Failure
Fear of Success
Self-worth
What did i miss?
@Gettingbettertoday
Did you miss self-care?
@amiablePeace77
Yes i did as I always do.
@Gettingbettertoday
I forgot curiosity too.
@amiablePeace77
My relationships with family and friends, and probably more discipline in life
@daydreammemories
I hope coming here will help you to find ways to improve your relationships and become more disciplined. Is there any particular area in your life you want to improve discipline or in general?
@amiablePeace77
Mostly in my studies. And thanks!
@daydreammemories
Do you think you could make a deal with yourself (maybe one which includes a healthy treat as reward 😉) ?
@amiablePeace77
Yes hehehe
@daydreammemories
What kind of deal could that be? 😀
@amiablePeace77
Ummm, a coffee at my favorite place, or getting a facial perhaps?
What do I need to improve on? Maybe how I speak to my husband when he irritates me. I need to remember that my attitude also affects others.
@blueAcai236
It can be hard to stay calm when someone is "pushing your buttons". Something I find helpful is to step back mentally (if needed physically) and take a few deep breaths. Keeping a trigger journal can also be helpful.
Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind
@amiablePeace77
Which aspects of yourself do you think you need to improve upon or that you believe help you get by in life? communication for both
@alysianna
Learning effective communication and social interaction techniques can boost your confidence in life and various social settings. It might help to join open chats and discussions to improve your skills.
Here is a video which I hope will be helpful

i need help with..idk feeling that i matter heh
i ..despite beating depression and sucidal thoughts ,being in a much better place than i was before i changed college and got therapy
i still look back into the past and see all the acomplishments i did before i fell into that spiral , all the efforts and all the certificates of apreciation , all that praise that i used to get and that i still did get during my spiral
and i feel like i have lost it all or at least lost the right to be proud of them
i have plenty of things to be proud of now , my social skills are a LOT better , im much more mature emotionally and my outlook on life has neveer been more realistic and nuanced , im in studenents activities , im getting good grades again and even some A's , i keep taking courses or attending things that i am improving every other month
yet i dont feel like its enough , i feel like all im doing now is but a fraction to before the bad spiral ..that im not of the same worth anymore
a good example is broken dreams back then : couldnt study the subject that would lead me to be an autopsy doctor (a silly dream) no problem , failled to get the bodybulding physiqe i wanted no problem ..etc
i took them in stride cus i felt i had other options and other paths , that i could still be more and do more
but now its not the same every dream that breaks i feel as my soul is shaken with it and my reality gets a bit dimmer with it : couldnt get good eonohj fast enough in german nad now i cant apply for undergrads there a peace of my soul hurts and the world gets a bit colder , cant get A on the subject that i coul have used post grad to link up with my old uni , again my heart akes and i feel bad ..etc
and maybe im wrong maybe its my fault for being lazy and not doing enough , but even then why does it hurt so much now unlike before
im stronger , im older (uni compared to highschool) and im more hardened to it all
i feel like i had fallen from atop a high pedestal to the floor and all my attempts to get up arent working and as long as that stands i do not matter , at least not as i used to at least because life cares not that you got better life only cares for results and my country isnt fair enough to where a guy like me can get to shine
@scorpionpolktanktree You're not wrong and it's not your fault<3 The first strike always leaves us on the floor ^^ but you got up, hurt but still fought. A king who survived the war deserves the praise, deserves to feel proud. Maybe he lost more, maybe the throne isn't as shiny anymore but still he made it.
It's very understandable to have regrets, to feel bad for all the things we have lost and I guess that's just a part of life. What you choose to do now matters the most. Moments happen, serve their purpose and then become a memory. These memories are a part of you, maybe some of them didn't yield any kind of result but the work you put into them still matters. You matter<3
@amiablePeace77
so much to improve on, more than care to share .
What I think has been something that has helped greatly is just do what you think is right and best. Hold that confidence it provides as a shield while acting with pure intentions with the determination that can foster good outcomes . Worked for a very long period for myself. Still reminiscent slightly
@LabeledBPD I agree do what is right and best!
@amiablePeace77
Which aspects of yourself do you think you need to improve upon or that you believe help you get by in life?
I believe that the 2 things I need to improve upon that will help me in life are: 1. regaining my self-confidence, and 2. Learning how to take care of myself. My best friend reminded me that I have lost the self-confidence I had in the past about my abilities. Back when I used to stand up for myself and be strong enough to stick to my beliefs. Now I have no confidence in myself. Fear of rejection and inadequacy are keeping me from updating my resume and finding a new job. I believe when I have my self-confidence back, I can learn how to care for myself. I've put my family first for so long, that I've lost me.
@NotAllHere713
I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way, NotAllHere. Struggling with fear of rejection and inadequacy is painful. Please remember that you're not alone, and there are people and resources available to support you here. You can always connect to a listener for a 1:1 chat and some comfort.
It helps some people to keep a self-esteem journal where you write down your thoughts, feelings, and focus on identifying negative thoughts, negative core beliefs, and patterns. Challenge these negative thoughts by providing evidence to the contrary.
What is something that makes you feel good about yourself?
