Don't lose hope

I had an incredibly difficult time these days. Like I hit rock bottom and after a few days I am feeling much worse. I want to share lessons I learned:


1) This doesn't work narcissistic people. Kindness, understanding, empathy for others win at the end. You can make friends even aa an adult with social anxiety thanks to these qualities 

2)  Life is so complex. Many times, it gets much worse before it's suddenly starting to get much better suddenly 

3)  Say, I know exactly what I need to do but i just can't bring myself to do it. In suxh situations, although this is extremely difficult, I pretend I am feeling very happy and nothing is bad. Suddenly I may start believing it for a short time with happy mood. Then, before my mood starts to get worse, I quickly implement my plans. Implementing them gives me additional dopamine 

4) having pets, spending time in nature and observing how innocent little bugs, butterflies are can help me if everything else fails

5) visiting some building which waa built on, say, 1800s. I start to wonder how life waa in those days, i kinda sense history around me. Like... these walls have seen a lot of people, have heard a lot of conversations 


Of course, I don't live your life. It's easy to preach but hard to do to follow my own lessons for myself. I have understood that countless times i myself break these rules. but, i believe in them. 

Thanks so much for your time and attention to read my post. I feel grateful. Feel free to share yours

You know, there was a time when this project was first starting.
I remember the conversation I had with the founder when he mentioned Javid.
He said something about the purity of Javid's soul and how much he respects Javid. That Javid would ultimately be the determining factor in whether or not this project had any merit, like he would ultimately be torch bearer or something. I didn't always get it, but posts like these help me see it a little more clearly. As someone with a basis in Psych, I can tell that you have come to your conclusions without any help, and they are getting close to what we would recommend. There are discrepancies here and there, but no-one can deny your spirit.

thanks so much for your reply. Since early times of this project, I was interested in its philosophy. Yes, there may be discrepancies, errors, cognitive bias, but I always do my best to have growth mindset. To challenge my limits. It's so hard, soo hard, but very rewarding.
