Stop thinking that if people accept us, we'll be happy.

6/19 Edited to

... Read moreหลายครั้งเรามักตั้งความหวังว่า หากคนรอบข้างยอมรับหรือชื่นชอบเรา เราจะรู้สึกมีความสุขมากขึ้น แต่จริงๆ แล้วความสุขที่แท้จริงไม่ได้ขึ้นกับการได้รับการยอมรับจากภายนอกเสมอไป จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว เมื่อเริ่มตระหนักได้ว่าการพึ่งพาความเห็นและการยอมรับของคนอื่นมากเกินไป ทำให้ตัวเองรู้สึกเหนื่อยและวิตกกังวล ผมจึงเริ่มฝึกสร้าง "ภูมิคุ้มกันใจ" หรือลดการพึ่งพาความคิดเห็นของผู้อื่น โดยการยอมรับตัวเองในทุกมิติ ไม่ว่าจะดีหรือด้อย จุดนี้ช่วยให้จิตใจแข็งแรงขึ้นมาก สิ่งสำคัญคือการไม่ตีค่าตัวเองจากคำชมและคำวิจารณ์ภายนอกจนเกินไป เพราะเมื่อเกิดการปฏิเสธหรือถูกปฏิเสธ เราอาจเจ็บปวดหรือเสียความมั่นใจได้ง่าย แต่หากเรามีความรักตัวเองและยอมรับตัวเองอย่างแท้จริง จะช่วยลดความเจ็บปวดที่เกิดขึ้นและทำให้เข้มแข็งขึ้นมาก ธรรมะที่หลวงพี่สัจจา สัจจาธิโก กล่าวถึงก็มีส่วนช่วยเตือนใจและนำทางให้รู้จักปล่อยวาง ไม่ยึดติดกับ "ความคาดหวัง" ที่มีต่อผู้อื่น และเห็นความทุกข์ของคนรอบตัวอย่างเห็นใจแทนที่จะใช้แรงโกรธหรือเป็นทุกข์ตามไปด้วย ผมแนะนำให้ลองเริ่มฝึกสังเกตตัวเองเวลาอยากได้รับการยอมรับจากใครสักคนว่าเรามีความต้องการหรือความคาดหวังอะไรจากเขามากแค่ไหน แล้วลองพูดคุยปลอบใจตัวเองในใจด้วยคำพูดบวก เช่น "ฉันรักและยอมรับตัวฉันเอง" หรือ "ฉันพอใจกับตัวเองในวันนี้" ซึ่งจะช่วยเสริมสร้างความสุขจากภายในจิตใจได้อย่างยั่งยืน สุดท้าย ความสุขแท้จริงคือการที่เราสามารถอยู่กับตัวเองได้อย่างสงบ มีความสุขโดยไม่ต้องปรับตัวหรือเปลี่ยนแปลงตัวเองตามความต้องการของคนอื่น ความพอใจในตนเองเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของชีวิตที่สมดุล และเมื่อเรามีภูมิคุ้มกันใจที่แข็งแกร่งแล้ว การเผชิญหน้ากับสถานการณ์หรือคำวิจารณ์ต่างๆ ก็จะไม่ทำให้เราทุกข์ใจมากเหมือนเดิมอีกต่อไป

I have a tendency to overthink things. I could simply say “Hi” instead of “Hello” and think about it for a week. I fail to be present because my mind is in the past. I also have a tendency to overthink my prayers. That they aren’t good enough. That God won’t hear me. I think about praying in fron
