I’ve been thinking recently I take myself too seriously.
I’m not saying it’s wrong to take things seriously, but maybe it’s a bad idea to take things ‘too’ seriously. Maybe there’s a middle way.
I remember reading from a book about something like this, maybe it’s a cause of mental illness to get too stressed about stuff. I dunno.
Hm any thoughts?
Normies take their lives to seriously too. I don’t think it’s a mentally ill thing. I think it’s mostly based on ur genetics but that’s my theory. I think some of us (me included) could benefit from lightening up sometimes but I don’t think it’s a true reason we are afflicted. Maybe just a mitigating factor.
Do you think we put too much pressure on ourselves to get jobs and stuff when we really struggle with it?? I don’t NEED a job. Or a career. But I put a lot of pressure on myself to be successful since I feel like a failure. If that’s what you’re getting at. I think some of us need to work on our satisfaction with what we have, once again myself included
Yeh I think you’re right Gratitude.
But, maybe some of us are genetically more sensitive to certain things, like this, and it affects us more?
I mean, it may be that not everyone is affected the same way by certain situations. Some of us (sz) may become ill with certain things, and some (normies) may not.
Like allergies, eating a peanut can kill one person and not another.
I’ve gotten so much better with my sensitivity over the last couple years and I continue to improve but still I tend to get offended by one thing and put more worth in it than ten good things. I need to build Teflon mind.
Yeh a thick skin is good when we have this illness.
My therapist had called me hyper sensitive in the past many times… I don’t see her anymore but the meds have really helped the thickness of my skin. It’s strange there must be a chemical in your brain for sensitivity because the meds help it
yeah sometimes for all our sakes i think it’s good to lighten up and smell the roses and forget the thorns. We’re here might as well enjoy it as much as possible.
