✨ When someone likes to make us small☄️

Everyone must have had a good moment, and someone's words or gestures made us feel smaller than we actually were.

Whether it's comparing, making us look inferior, or acting like we're worth less than others?

The feeling at that time was sore.

It's like we've been stripped of our values, even though in our hearts we know, "We're not as bad as he says," or why am I busy with mine?

💭 Why would he make us so small?

Most of the time, someone chooses to press someone.

Often because he himself feels insecure within his heart.

Making us smaller

So that's how he used to make himself "look bigger."

So what happened is not our truth.

But more of a reflection on his problems. 🙂

🌱 How to deal with feelings

I want to tell everyone to think it's a people's problem, not ours.

1. Separate words from our identity

Tell yourself, "This is what he thinks, not our truth." Let's draw a line between our thoughts and his thoughts, and we'll obviously see that this is his own problem.

2. Don't rush to prove yourself

We were not born to please everyone or appreciate us, but we are confident and proud of what is enough.

3. Focus on what makes us confident

Write down what we are good at, what we are proud of.

When you find heartbreaking words, you have "proof in your heart" to confirm yourself.

4. Set boundaries if necessary

If he's close, tell him politely, "I'm not comfortable hearing this."

Communication is to protect our hearts, too.

💌 Finally, don't forget...

We're not really getting smaller from anyone's words.

Our values have never been diminished.

Just because someone chooses to look at us like that

We are still us, people who are always meaningful and valuable. ✨

... Read moreนอกจากการแยกคำพูดของคนอื่นออกจากตัวเราแล้ว การทำความเข้าใจว่าเหตุใดคนบางคนจึงชอบทำให้เรา "ตัวเล็ก" ก็จะช่วยให้เรารับมือกับความรู้สึกนี้ได้ดีขึ้น บ่อยครั้งพวกเขาอาจรู้สึกไม่มั่นคงในใจ และการลดคุณค่าคนอื่นเป็นการชดเชยความรู้สึกนั้นเอง ประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวพบว่าการเขียนบันทึกถึงความสำเร็จและจุดแข็งของตัวเองทุกวันช่วยสร้างภูมิคุ้มกันทางใจได้ดี เมื่อเจอคำพูดกดดันหรือเปรียบเทียบ เราจะสามารถหยิบยก "หลักฐานความเก่งของเรา" มาเตือนใจได้ นอกจากนี้ การสื่อสารถึงความรู้สึกของเรากับคนใกล้ตัวก็นับเป็นวิธีที่สำคัญมาก บางครั้งแค่บอกเขาว่าเรารู้สึกไม่ดี ก็เป็นจุดเริ่มต้นให้เขาได้ปรับพฤติกรรม เพื่อความสัมพันธ์ที่ดีกว่าเดิม สุดท้าย อย่าลืมว่าคุณค่าของเราไม่ได้ถูกวัดจากคำพูดหรือท่าทีของใครคนใดคนหนึ่ง ความรักและการยอมรับตัวเองอยู่ในมือของเราคนเดียว การให้เวลากับตัวเอง สร้างความมั่นใจอย่างแท้จริง จะช่วยให้รู้สึก "ตัวใหญ่" เพราะเรารู้คุณค่าของตัวเองไม่ว่าจะเจอสถานการณ์แบบไหน
