1. Still working on it.

When I realized all the negative feelings I had about myself were all coming from my internal thoughts and every actual interaction I had in the real world pointed to me being the opposite of how I felt about myself. I’m still working on it, but I realized that when I thought people secretly found my boring and annoying it was actually my own feelings about myself that I projected onto others’ thoughts about me. I’m working on seeing myself how other people see me.
