If You Are Struggling, Maybe Start Listening to Others
Do as I say, not as I do. You’re welcome
I don’t believe in myself, well I do, but at a egotistical level. I try to prove myself and not believe in myself. I was trying to prove myself to someone my whole life now that I look back on it. It’s painfully obvious I don’t believe in myself. I was abused pretty severely as a kid, and I’m trying to work through that. Good things can come out of bad situations they say.
I think I am a piss poor writer. It is so hard for me to write. I am so impatient, and I am horrible with punctuation and spelling. So, I have to use Grammarly. And guess what? When I use Grammarly, it tests something I don’t have, patience; it’s a Catch 22. I love to write, but I suck at what makes great writing, and to make my writing readable, I have to put it through software that drives me insane. It is helping me, I am getting better, but it still frustrates me.
I started my writing journey on Quora. I have 12,000 followers there within the last year. I have had so many tell me I have a way of putting their thoughts into words about abuse. I get many messages weekly thanking me for an answer. Guess what? I don’t believe them. I’ve never believed in myself.
Insecurities are a real thing, and they can ruin…
