Honestly psy2go really be knowing how I feel and it's starting to get to me 😭

I imagine a lot of people with self-trust issues probably learned it from someone else growing up. When you get treated as if everything you do is wrong and you can't make decisions on your own for a long time, you come to believe it's the truth, when the truth is the person telling you those things was likely either using it to manipulate and control you or was projecting their own insecurities onto you.

Me clicking on this video knowing damn well I don’t trust myself but just wanna confirm anyway

I lack self-love and self-confidence, I just feel that I'm just a terrible human being and I'm just a burden to everyone.
And because of that I feel like I NEED to help people around me, but at the same time I feel that I'm going to mess up and everyone will judge me, cause I'm not good enough.
It's just, painful when people say good things about me, because I just feel like they're lying or/and making fun of me, and that just makes everything worse.

I thought being an indecisive, insecure, closed perfectionist, pessimist and overthinker were part of my character... i guess there's a real reason why i've been like this for these past few years, the weird nightmares furtherly explain it as well

[FuzzyRedVelvet]

I experience this everyday, I'm glad others can relate. Even if I get any answer right, I always check it on the web.

Can we get a video on tips to build self-trust? It would be super super helpful! Thank you for all the work you guys put into these by the way!

When you don't trust yourself, you might feel uncomfortable spending time looking inward. You might try to keep busy all day by constantly getting involved in activities or thinking about small things outside of yourself. Break the habit of looking away from yourself by patiently looking inward👍

[minaminumahata]

I personally think that you guys are doing a great job with spreading awareness about these topics but I feel like you should make videos about how to fix it or how to cope with it as well.
