Trying to Decenter: men

This post isn’t about hating men. In fact, it’s important to accept the masculine (animus as Jung put it) within you to be at peace with yourself and choose the right partner.

I’m trying to clock myself when I notice that I’m pouring all my energy and attention into men.There are many great men with integrity and values, but you only have one of you. There are no drafts in this life so let’s start living our lives accordingly.

I’m a future therapist, wellness and beauty lover and just a girl 💞💖🥹#Lemon8Diary #psychstudent #Relationship101 #psychologyinsights

How to decenter men and center yourself
Decentering men is not about becoming cold or bitter. It is about choosing yourself as the main character in your own life. When you stop basing your worth on attention, texts, or validation, everything starts shifting. Your standards rise. Your goals get clearer. Your energy becomes calmer. And th
