Your opinion. Your decisions. To your feelings. Your body. The phrases “trust yourself” or “distrust yourself” may sound unusual. More often than not, when it comes to trust, it concerns relationships with someone, and not with oneself. And today we will talk about the second, because in ordinary life we ​​are not used to highlighting this as something separate. The absence or low level of self-confidence is a fairly common phenomenon. Especially among people who are not very confident in themselves. How might this manifest itself? For example, in the form of greater reliance on the opinions of other people. Often, on the opinion of loved ones, but sometimes even on the opinion of random people in your life. Someone will appreciate such a person in a store or on the street and, in principle, he is fully or partially ready to accept this as a true description of himself, although this may indeed be just a random passer-by who does not know him at all...Also, this may manifest itself through anxiety and constant doubts about one's decisions. Such a person may constantly want to receive advice from others about how best to act and what is best to choose. He is in an endless search for external reference points, since he does not find sufficient support within himself. A person with a low level of self-confidence may not hear or listen to his own feelings at all. May devalue them. And it is almost unhindered to perceive the devaluation of his feelings by other people. Others know better. In general, a person who has difficulty trusting himself may even be convinced that he himself cannot make a good choice. True, it can sit very deep and not be realized. Does such a person live fully the way he wants? Hardly. What I would like to pay special attention to is the fact that the outside world, the opinions of other people, so different with their own differing views, is not a very reliable support, if only simply because it is dynamic and changeable. And focusing on this, you can actually experience a lot of anxiety. It is much more beneficial for your condition to begin the path of searching for internal supports and your own stability in order to find ground under your feet and stand confidently, taking your steps not through doubts. Of course, this requires time and perseverance, self-curiosity and a willingness to change something. But maybe it’s worth it? After all, we are alone and our lives are going on right now.
