What are you doing alone?✨

From shy kid - > to independent girl 💖

1️⃣ to love yourself doesn't need a lot of girlfriends or friends, but to love yourself is to be with yourself, because the person who will be our best friend "is ourselves."

2️⃣, we used to be the one who, when going anywhere, must have friends along forever. Walk to buy rice that still have to drag friends along because we don't dare to go anywhere alone. We don't know why. Now we have a lot of courage. Maybe because of the COVID period that makes us grow this much.

3️⃣ that time, we have to do something ourselves because no one can always be our friend. From what we used to fear, now we have done it all.

4️⃣ sleep alone, go to the mall alone, ride on the bus, watch movies alone without feeling lonely, eat alone without feeling cringe, go to school, go to camp, do activities alone without dragging your friends along. Very proud of yourself.

5️⃣, what do you want to do? Where do you want to go? Don't wait for anyone because we started to love ourselves.

That we wait or expect others to feel with us the way we want it may not be the answer because we are ourselves. Whoever is right, we will be ourselves well without trying. Want to do anything. If you think it's good to do it, don't think a lot. One day we will come back and thank ourselves a lot for not having to wait or waste time for others. The more other people come, the more suffering this.

In the past, we were ignored by close friends!! We talked to them, did not talk to us, turned to talk to other people. We said nothing, did not listen, did not hear, did not help us at all, ignored everything or every offer. Until today, we can not bear to cry so hard after returning from school. Well, it is uncomfortable, restrained, do not know what we have done wrong or we are not good enough, how to make friends come to love us, how to make us the person that friends like is that we are toxic to ourselves, do not even know until we let go, who will talk to us and come out of the person who is not the person we are with and must be tired, we walked out to find the person who really loves us until we quit the school. Come to study ourselves, make us know that we are alone, do something alone, live alone, the mother is very happy, it is comfortable, it is lighter, without having to expect anything to be friends with ourselves, it is really good, not that we do not adjust anything or should not have friends, but we want everyone to be with the person that we are comfortable with, can modify ourselves without feeling tired, just this is very good, what we are not good enough to adjust, listen and develop enough, what is toxic, what is not toxic

💌 Anyone who "doesn't dare" to do anything alone. Try it a little bit at a time. Don't rely on anyone to yourself. Do a lot for yourself.

The important thing is "not afraid to speak" because only people can get good things. 💖🫶🏻🫂

Let this space be a comfortable place. Anyone who finds anything can tell him, leave the toxic person and love yourself very much.

... Read moreการทำอะไรคนเดียวในช่วงวัยรุ่นหรือวัยทำงาน ถือเป็นกระบวนการสำคัญที่ช่วยเสริมสร้างความมั่นใจและการรักตัวเองจริงๆ จากประสบการณ์ของหลายคน การฝึกทำกิจกรรมคนเดียวตั้งแต่เล็กๆ อย่างเช่นกินข้าวคนเดียว หรือไปค่ายคนเดียว ไม่ได้หมายความว่าเราจะถูกทอดทิ้งหรือโดดเดี่ยว แต่เป็นการเรียนรู้ที่จะอยู่กับตัวเองอย่างมีความสุขและไม่ต้องพึ่งพิงใครตลอดเวลา ในช่วงที่เราไม่กล้าทำอะไรคนเดียว อาจรู้สึกว่าการอยู่คนเดียวนั้นน่าเบื่อและอึดอัด แต่จริงๆ แล้ว เมื่อได้ลองเปิดใจและฝึกฝนบ่อยๆ เช่น การเดินทางด้วยตัวเองไปต่างประเทศ หรือการสมัครเรียนและทำจิตอาสาคนเดียว จะทำให้เราโตขึ้นในหลายด้าน ทั้งเรื่องการบริหารจัดการตัวเอง การแก้ไขสถานการณ์เฉพาะหน้า รวมถึงการเข้าใจและยอมรับตัวเองมากขึ้น อีกสิ่งหนึ่งที่หลายคนค้นพบผ่านการทำอะไรคนเดียว คือความสามารถในการรักตัวเองโดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพิงความเห็นหรือความช่วยเหลือจากคนอื่น การเข้าใจว่าเราคือเพื่อนที่ดีที่สุดของตัวเอง เป็นฐานสำคัญที่จะช่วยให้เรามีความสุขและมั่นใจในแต่ละก้าวของชีวิต การลองทำสิ่งเล็กๆ ทีละนิด เช่น นั่งรถไฟฟ้าคนเดียว หรือไปดูหนังด้วยตัวเอง อาจดูเป็นเรื่องเล็กแต่มีผลต่อจิตใจอย่างมาก เพราะมันสอนให้เราไม่กลัวที่จะเสี่ยงหรือดูแปลกตาในสายตาคนอื่น ที่สำคัญคือการไม่กลัวที่จะ 'เสร่อ' เพราะในหลายครั้ง คนที่กล้าทำในสิ่งที่ต่างออกไปมักจะได้รับประสบการณ์ดีๆ และเติบโตอย่างรวดเร็วกว่า ท้ายที่สุด การรักตัวเองและกล้าที่จะทำอะไรคนเดียวคือกุญแจสำคัญที่ทำให้เราพัฒนาและค้นพบความสุขในชีวิตได้อย่างแท้จริง ฉะนั้นไม่ว่าคุณจะยังกลัวหรือยังไม่มั่นใจ ลองเริ่มทีละนิด แล้วจะพบว่าโลกของคุณกว้างขึ้นและเต็มไปด้วยโอกาสใหม่ๆ มากมาย
