7 Uncomfortable Truths Everyone Needs To Accept

As we grow older, we start to realize that the world is a much more complicated place than what we were brought up to believe. And as much as we’d like to protect ourselves from the harsh realities of life by living in denial and pretending like everything’s fine, there’s always some things we know to be true but wish weren’t. And until we learn to confront those truths and accept them, we’re always going to be stuck facing the same old dilemma over and over again. With that said, here are some of the most important but uncomfortable truths we all need to accept in life.

"Your trauma is not your fault, but your healing is your responsibility" I had to write that down

[stayhappylittlemermaid]

There are times in life when even the smallest words or actions are infused with the most exquisite meaning.

"If you are not happy single, you won't be happy married. Because happiness does not come from relationships, it comes from cats."

"Don't quit because it's hard, quit because it's making you unhappy"

What if it's making me unhappy because it's hard ?

[Surai]

Here's another hard truth:
Too much kindness breeds a lack of accountability. Be honest, even when it hurts. The people who look to you for direction won't find it, if you are lying to protect their feelings.

"Never talk to strangers" Probably why I don't have an friends.

"Hurt me with the truth but never comfort me with lies!"
Edit: wow many agree with this <3

[cosmo]

My golden rule is, that there's no obligation to be nice to everyone.
I mean being able to say "no" etc.

Edit: people might abuse your kindness for their own benefits.

“Your mind will always believe everything you tell it. Feed it faith. Feed it truth. Feed it with love.” ✨

Yes an Honest Discomfort is much better than a Dishonest Comfort ☺️

[SoraFan]

Its sad that society tends to tell everyone what they should do with their lives, but in todays world all those things you were taught as a kid become so outdated. So its a good idea to focus more on yourself. Only you can make yourself happy and take the right path you think works out for you.

I am praying for those people who are depressed or having difficult situations.

*"Making a big life change is pretty scary. But, you know what's scarier? Regret."*

Hope this can motivate or inspire some people. Just trying my best to help others as a small channel myself, have a great day! <3

"If they really wanted to, they would" is so damaging. Sometimes I just can't function, or my anxiety and self-hatred (I'm working on it) is so overwhelming I can't convince myself someone actually wants to hear from me. It's not because I don't want to.

Edit: also my ADHD and other issues makes it hard to keep track of things in my life, sometimes I need constant reminders.

[BizzyLaVicious]

One thing I've noticed about closure is; if you're not mentally ready for it, confronting the person that hurt you probably won't help much, if at all. If you haven't come to terms with the trauma, seeing that person again tends to be a trigger more than anything. I feel that confronting them should not only be the last step in one's healing journey, but also an optional one.

when you have a huge comfort zone so it's hard to step out of it:

I’ve learned that simply lying to someone to avoid breaking their hearts and happiness is even worse than telling the truth, especially when it prolongs. Yes, it is painful to do it, but very rewarding to overcome difficulty.

#5 “If they really wanted to, they would”
This is one of the most difficult ones for me. There’s always that person that doesn’t reply to my text and it leaves me so angry, lonely, and discarded. I now tread more carefully with people, because at any moment they can change their mind about me and ignore me.
