Those with a strong victim mentality will villainize you for being more fortunate than they are and believe you’re not doing enough to help.

The reaper is nothing to be feared, but I fear him anyway.

You tend to overanalyze the way you come across to other people, from every single angle possible.

This mentality severs connections and instills irrational paranoia. It makes you feel like you’re better than you really are, and it skews how you view other people

Reach out to a few people you admire. Tell them how your life has changed for the better because of them.

Jealousy is a tell-tale sign that you subconsciously feel like you deserve awards, accomplishments, praise, others’ approval, and other forms of external validation.

You ultimately believe that you can be better than you are now.

You’re still not interacting with people authentically, and you force yourself to maintain a very stiff public face because you fear that if you show your true self, people will think you’re unprofessional and immature.

You don’t speak up for yourself because you feel that your shortcomings, past failures, deficiencies, and flaws won’t make you worthy of being listened to or deserving of help. 

The fear of losing the life you feel trapped in still controls you more than the fear of never reaching for a lifetime of self-actualization.

If I give up on the things I should be doing, then I’m a failure and don’t deserve any success, even if I change my direction in life.
