IT TURNED OUT THAT MY WORST CRITIC WAS MYSELF...

Since going online, I have had a lot of "firsts"...

My first VULNERABLE post...

My first post that provoked a lot of "UNFRIENDING"... The first time I got "BLOCKED" by an individual and a group... My first online "HATER" who tore me to threads... . Every time I had a "first", I was filled with so many emotions... shame, fear, overwhelm, dread, self-doubt, etc... At times the emotions would get so strong that I was barely hanging on... trying to keep posting... keep connecting... keep being strong... When I wanted to curl into a ball and hide... and protect myself from it all... . Then, I realized that the problem was actually "MY STUFF"... my own shames, fears, insecurities, and self-doubts... I realized that all the haters, the critics, the blockers and the like... were only triggering me because I was doing the SAME to myself! I was my OWN worst critic... my OWN worst hater... the person who was tearing myself down to the ground... So, all I needed to do was work on MY stuff... MY shame, MY insecurities, MY fears, MY self-doubts... And then I wouldn't give a shit about the haters, the critics, the blockers, and the like... Because I could handle my very worst critic of all... MYSELF. <3 . Let me know if you'd like me to help you free yourself from your Social or Performance Anxiety and achieve your life goals.
