i have a horrible habit of putting myself down in conversation and self-deprecating. idk if i do it to be 'humble' but i am realizing people fw me more when i'm passionate abt what i'm doing and conducting myself with a slightly over-extended confidence. interesting

about two or three months into my new job my coworker told me when i first started she didn’t think i liked her. i asked her why and she said well you seemed cool and confident and sure enough of yourself that you didn’t feel the need to go out of your way to impress or please people. to be honest this was kind of shocking at first because i wasn’t rly sure how they were perceiving me but to be fair i spent those first couple months being so hard on myself to let my personality come through in an authentic way and i guess it worked! i think taking the time to learn and understand yourself is truly a blessing and somewhat a curse but this meant a lot to me
been thinking a lot about self-awareness lately and what makes me “me.” I’m always trying to figure out how to transform my inner critic to real personal growth without shame. being honest and not editing myself to any given room was one of the first things I began to tackle in therapy. existing among other humans is an ongoing give and take, and Being Who You Are without apology while treating others with respect is really all you need to do in this life. learning how to be kind and true, and finding the good amongst so much bad and then sharing it with others makes the world go ‘round
