🧠 What Are Your Intrusive Thoughts Trying to Convince You of Today??

That I am metaphorically homeless. That is much as I enjoy my time here and other places, I don't belong in any of them.
Or you haven't found the right place that creates a sense of belonging? We are all transitory in one sense of the word or another, but we also crave ownership of space... roots... claimed territory. Safety is not an illusion.
 
I'm making all this huge effort to improve my life but what if afterwards nothing changes? Am I better off staying as I am and therefore having reasons for my loneliness so that I don't ever have to face a really uncomfortable truth - that I'll never be good enough to be loved?
I feel this ... While intellectually believe we are all good enough it's emotionally nearly impossible to think sometimes. The intrusive "but what if" thoughts are always the worst. We don't know each other, but hugs to you

Stop seeing things wrong with yourself for reasons of loneliness. What if the reasons you haven’t yet found somebody to love you is because they aren’t good enough and subconsciously you know this but are too nice to let them know it is a fault in them so you project the fault onto yourself.

There is probably somebody out there with a better way with words than me and will say it so much better than I did but basically, you are a wonderful, kind and beautiful person that will always be good enough to be loved.

You are as wise as you are kind 💜
Thank you

My take on this is... Love is not based on how good you objectively are, but on who you can find that magic with... It's a little bit you. It's a little bit them. It's a little bit random luck. You can be loved at any stage of your life. But just because you have found it yet, does not mean something is wrong with you.

Improving your life is an worthy endeavor, regardless of whether it leads to another person's love or not. Because you will probably love yourself more when it happens.

This is a pretty good take! 😁
 
My intrusive voices are caught between overwhelming hormones and depression. The hormones are always hopeful. The depression likes to ruin the fun. But sometimes the depression is right. And hormones can make you act like an idiot.
 
I'm working on balance today. Putting positive thoughts and truth on the scale opposite the intrusive lies. Taking a longer lunch today because I need the space to breathe, and not feeling guilty about it. It will help me focus and be something closer to the sometimes ridiculous expectations other people like to hold up.

So breathe today. Go on a walk. Enjoy nature. Take your shoes off and feel the earth. Trust in the goodness of those around you. Put some goodness out there that someone else can borrow. And maybe we all end up better for it.
