Self-compassion isn't selfish - it's essential for your mental health and relationships. How do you show yourself kindness? #SelfCompassion #MentalHealthTips

If I feel lonely, I tell myself that loneliness is a normal human emotion, just like happiness, sadness, surprise, anticipation, etc. Just like you feel the others you feel loneliness sometimes too. I think we don’t like to admit that we feel lonely because there’s some stigma attached to that, there must be something wrong with you if you’re lonely

So true Dr. I beat myself up alot. I lost my best friend in 2015.
Sometimes...I remember some things she told me, and I smile because I knew she was right...and I knew she loved me.
I'd been with Patricia 40 years...😂God I miss her!
She'd tell me, you comin down, so baby yourself. So I did. Saved my life a few times.
We helped each other through husbands, kids, buying houses, sickness, car wrecks, deaths of our aging parents.
I want everyone here to realize. You're not here long. Time is running low..I'm 61!!!!
Run to the love!!!
Miss you Patricia Ann.

In your thought life, focus on defining which thoughts are, or, are not based in love..
As in time, you will experience fewer and fewer thoughts less than love.
Because you you taught the "ego" the truth of your being.. Which is LOVE

One huge difficulty I have found is that I can't control my thoughts, and they are full of judgments and beration. With a friend, I just don't say the constant intrusive thoughts.

Cries alone and tells myself being so lonely is fine.
Dies alone crying "I'm fine"

I lost both my parents during covid & I am so lonely 😢 still cant get over bereavement

[Dan]

I define "inner critic" as the "ego"
I do not take personal possession of any thoughts I decern as being less than love

Can you explain how to treat myself like a good friend when I don‘t like myself in the first place? The thing is I treat my friends well because I like them and I think they deserve good. I would not treat them like friends if I would not like them. It makes psychologically no sense to my brain to treat myself like a good friend.

Yeah i had that, but after few years he went away and
" you want to be alone" guy came :D

What if you feel lonely because you are alone

[jessicashaw]

So it’s about feeling connected? I often feel like my downfalls lead me to a place of loneliness I deserve and that the universe warrants for me.
