I’m down in the dumps, I can’t pay my bills, and I didn’t get that new promotion. Why doeseverything bad happen to me? Why is everyone else so cheery and bright? They can all pay their bills, everyone else gets promoted and good things happen to them.
So you don’t feel good today, bad things happen all of the time to everyone, not just you.That’s life.
I just went and got my haircut and someone dented my car really bad. It was the most expensivehair cut I ever had. Yeah, I can’t pay my bills either but that is a whole other story. I can getangry and indulge in self destruction but why? Because some jack ass was clumsy and hit mycar? Because I bought something instead of paying a bill?I know what you’re feeling, that no one knows what youhave been through.Yeah, your right, no one knows your exact predicament.How could they? It only happened to you. Know this. Iknow as a fact someone within less than one mile of youthis very second has it much worse.
Believe that.
Just like no one knows how you feel, for that same reasonyou can’t know how they feel. Not only are you projectingyour life experienceson their external persona your pretending you know what they have been through.Everyone looks good on the outside that is what it is allabout. We all try to look our best. If I wear Armanisunglasses and drive an Audi R8 you might think I amsuper wealthy and happy but really I am in debt and so far behind financially, I abuse, to get away from it all.
I am not alone and neither are you.
You’re not unique. Your experiences may be but the reasons are all still the same, only differentcircumstances. Stop comparing yourself to everyone else and learn how to exist in this world asyourself. Forget everyone else. You can’t see yourself through others eyes so stop trying. Nomatter what, I guarantee I can introduce you to someone with a bigger problem, horrible storiesthat will make even you cry and through that introduction you will feel connected. Just try me,emailfriend@socialrecovery.com.Stop the “ poor me” act, quitmaking excuses. You feel isolated because you subconsciously want
to be alone. You are creating the environment you live in by your actions toward others. I learnedI had done this and have changed the way others see me. I am not alone now because I changedmyself.
You can stop feeling alone right now…
