Why do I forget and spiral

I hate myself for forgetting why I made some decisions that I did in the past. I hate that I go back and think it might have been petty(and always realizing it wasn’t) and then I have to go through it again.

I hate people who outright say negative things about someone’s dreams. Like this wouldn’t work out. This isn’t worth it. Are you sure you wanna do this? Doesn’t sound like you.

I wish I could scream that it is what I want to give it a shot no matter if I can or cannot see a future in it.

I have so much feelings.

Sorry but I am using this as a personal diary to have someone talk to about this.

... Read moreForgetting can often leave us feeling lost and confused about the choices we've made. Many individuals struggle with the regret of past decisions and the fear of judgment from others, which can amplify feelings of inadequacy. In moments of reflection, it’s vital to acknowledge that experiencing doubt is a common aspect of the human experience. In the face of negativity from friends or acquaintances, it’s essential to cultivate a support system that uplifts rather than diminishes your aspirations. When friends project their fears onto you, it can lead to self-doubt and a reluctance to pursue dreams. However, understanding one's values and staying true to personal goals can create resilience against external criticism. Finding healthy coping mechanisms, such as journaling or engaging in supportive communities, can aid in processing feelings and maintaining focus on personal aspirations. Remember, it’s okay to seek help, whether through professional counseling or support from loved ones, to navigate these emotional landscapes. Sharing experiences, like those expressed in the #MentalHealthJourney, can foster connections and empower others, encouraging an open dialogue about emotions and experiences. Ultimately, the journey through memories and emotions shapes who we are; embracing it while pursuing our passions is what leads to personal growth.

This guy is purposely trying to drain your energy and attacking you because he sees a light within you that he doesn't have. You have to change your beliefs about yourself so that negativity like this doesn't hurt you as much. Search on YouTube for self love affirmations, self concept subliminals, and meditations ❤️❤️
