What Have You Learned About Yourself Recently??

I would happily forgive every person bar one who's wronged me. That fucker can rot in jail

I’m learning a lot about myself recently, I’ve been putting a lot of new things in place - so learning is inevitable.

I’ve come a very long way, but there is still work to be done. Some days it’s hard to stay motivated, as I honestly feel like the world has handed me a big “fuck you!” with recent events.

The lesson that sticks out in my mind most is that I need to step back sometimes. When I’m stressed or anxious, step back. Take some time, think. That’s my biggest regret, that I didn’t step back when I had the health scare. It’s lead to the only thing that’s currently not going right for me.

I’ve learned that I can be a tougher boss than I expected!

Honestly, there is just so, so much that I’m learning, but I can’t share it all, as most of it I would only share with people I’m close to, who would get it. I need sleep

When you have a long term health condition, it’s extremely easy to fail to notice how well you manage it. I’ve had a pre existing condition for 15 years - well that’s when I was diagnosed with it. The last two days I’ve struggled to settle it. Today I feel really sick, and in such discomfort that I’m going to have to go back on meds for a bit. I’ll pick them up in less than an hour.

But what strikes me as interesting is that I’m so used to this, to this kind of pain, that other than being an annoyance at having to take meds (I handle it so well that I only need meds briefly every few years) that it’s not even registering enough to dampen my spirits. I’m singing along to music, dancing a little too, thinking deeply but positively about other things, and the whole time I feel like I’m going to be sick, my body is getting spasms and they hurt.

It’s just normal for me. It’s time I paid attention and told myself “well done!” For handling it.

My instincts, yet again, are correct.

That I know my way around plumbing issues pretty well.

I’ve learned that bottling things up is what causes a large part of my anxiety. On occasions where I have no outlet, mainly no time to exercise, it builds up and then bursts out in one emotional situation that should have been avoided. I’m going back to some old coping mechanisms from my teens, when I don’t have time to work out.

I’ve learned that I’m stronger than I think I am. I constantly remember the advice of an old friend about changing what you can, and accepting what you can’t change, and I’ve begun to realise a lot more is in my control than I ever realised. Things I’ve struggled to accept about myself may actually have a chance at being changed.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned recently is what I want out of life. Most of my life I had to live according to the needs and wants of others, and it’s only now that I get to think about what I want, what I need. I want to live a simple life, with people I care about, making them happy. I want to continue to change the things I can, to attain that.

I know I make mistakes, but those are largely due to anxiety. I’m not someone who means anyone harm, I would never ever intentionally hurt another human being. Or animal, or anything for that matter lol I need to learn to recognise when anxiety has hit, and step back, rather than reach out.

Apparently I have a tattoo on my forehead that tells bullies come play. I'm not going to walk away from someone harassing me but damn people... it would be nice if someone would stand up with me and have my back.

It's NOT ok to harass ANY one, let alone a handicapped female. It's usually physically big guys too. Does that make you feel like a bigger man when you do that??

 

[FAITHandFLESH]

That duality is sometimes good, sometimes bad, but never long lasting...

 

[Matt12191982]

That I'm addicted to many things.

I have learned to appreciate all the good things in life. Enjoy every moment you have with the one you love. tragedy strikes at the flick of a switch and nothing every remains the same. You need to be strong for those who depend you even when you feel beaten down lost. No one can replace or fill a void left when you experience loss. But the spirit of those you love forever remains in your soul and continues to influence your life. live your life in way that honors those who loved you.

Very well said and very true. I can completely relate. I am learning to take life one step at a time, learning a little bit more about who I am as an individual with each one taken.

By opening up to my friends about my submissiveness, they have started sharing their own tastes- and it has brought us all even closer.

 

[Stilllearning2b]

That I wish I never learned and attempted to act upon what I have learned about myself. When what I have learned about myself won’t ever be a reality with the one I love.

Pranic healing is easier to do than I thought, and very effective!

Well, I have to ask? ..

 

[Airka4real]

When it comes to chores, I'm becoming more like my Mom.
For instance, I now can't stand an unmade bed, when not in use.
<sigh>

 

[Stryderthorongil]

I am more easily bored than I used to be. I need constant stimulation.

 

[emsway]

That I’m much more controlling person than I thought I was.

 

[BeautifulBlueSky218]

I'm getting better at taking care of my own needs and doing something for myself for once. Setting up healthy boundaries and not allowing people to walk all over me. Anytime I think something is off, I'm normally right. Trusting my gut and simply just taking things slow and not rushing into things. I'm so glad for once that I've been focusing on myself for a whole year. I feel so much happier about myself now.

 

[Airka4real]

I'm more confident in my decisions than I used to be.

That I've been foolishly dismissing my intuition.
I need to get back on track.

 

[Violetvixen1]

That I am indeed human and have a few insecurities I need to address.

If procrastination was a paying job, I'd turn pro...
