I just wanted to ask you all about dealing with self contentment and satisfaction. Recently since I have started a new job in construction, I have been affraid of speaking to a few of friends of mine who I know are always competetive and a bit too flustered when they hear about their friends getting on.
What I wish I could do is just be able to not care what they think and concentrate on my own qualities and actions if you know what I mean.
It sounds like it shouldnt be a problem, but for me I always get self doubts and worry about what others are doing and thinking of me?
Yeah I do too but I think everyone does to some degree obviously not to the extreme those who suffer from Anxiety do. Don't compare yourself to them you are you. You are unique and have your own qualities and skills. We all are different and go at our own pace. If they like competing with each other let them compete. It comes with the Anxiety you have. Always worrying about what others think about you it's kind of tiring because you don't enjoy the moment and are worried with anxiety about how they perceive you. We can't make everyone happy. Some will like us some won't. Be happy and Graceful with what you have. I agree I wish I wouldn't think so much about what others think of me. But it's impossible for me. Try to be positive about all that you do have. Life's too short to care about what others think of us. We don't know if tomorrow we will still be here. Live in the moment and enjoy it.
Hi to be honest they are probably too busy worrying about themselves to think overmuch about others, so I shouldn't worry about it so much. True friends would be happy for your successes and not judge you.
Apart from that you only know what they tell you so what you see as success they might not or vice versa.
