Why are we our own biggest doubters? 🙄

I guess that doubt arises when our true Self is finally emerging from its bury. Then, our bias do not seem so real anymore.

@Amanda84 We know ourselves most intimately, so we see more of our own flaws. In the same way, many times we can't see the flaws of others as well, so we feel alone in our struggles. The comparison that comes from this is a large part of it.

@positivelyLuna333 I agree, comparisons have a big role to play in it 💜🥰

@Amanda84

Why do we doubt ourselves?

Why do we hold ourselves back?

Why do we critique ourselves?

Why are we hard on ourselves?

Why do we let other people's opinions bring us down?

Why do we self sabotage jobs, relationships?

Why do we stand in the way of our own happiness? 💜💕

I think it's because we fear hurting feelings of others or ourselves.. while interacting.. for example,

When I have a conversation with someone for the first time and it goes really well... then I start to overthink or analyse too much. weather I was being real or not, am i really capable of having that kind of conversation again? or if I try the second time, I'll end up hurting his/her expectations.

I start to overthink or analyse too much... which makes the conversation feel fake sometimes. And it takes away the realnees of the moment.

Being too hard on myself while trying to sound perfect. thinking of "what ifs" scenarios which are mostly just inside our head not reality, and start to criticize myself for being this way.

I think sometimes we stand in the way of our own happiness... Bcus we think too much of what will happen next or how long will this happiness last for,

I live too much on past that i just don't truly enjoy the present. I get feelings like do i deserve being this happy, am i even allowed to live this moment.. And these sudden thoughts and feelings steals away the joy of the moment we're living in.

maybe sometimes we fear hurting our own opinion and feelings of ourselves, b'cus of how other people see and think of us... which doesn't really matters 🙁

I know right? We are our biggest critics. Our biggest doubters. Our biggest saboteurs. 

Why is that?

I think it's a sense of our own insecurities that usually centre around our early experiences of how people have treated us 🥺💕💜
