What is it You Value Most in Other People?
Be careful, because what you value in others you may lack in yourself.
I just realized I’ve spent years focusing on what I don’t value in people. It just seems easier that way, you know? Not trusting anyone.
Ive been building a wall and making sure it’s high enough no one can climb it, let alone see over it. And the kicker? I’ve been building it on autopilot. It’s quite astounding. Had no idea how big it has got.
In reality I don’t value much in myself, it’s probably the reason I look for things in people I don’t value.
And when I do find things I value in others, like loyalty, honesty and trust, I start adding bricks to that wall, because I honestly think they must want something from me.
That’s more so on a subconscious level, but then when I bring it to my conscience I overthink myself back to building that fucking wall again.
I hate that wall. Maybe it’s time to start tearing it down?
But yea, I love honesty in people. Even when it hurts. I hope it helps me destroy this wall I’ve built.
I don’t need it any more.
