Get Jordan Peterson' book (MAPS OF MEANING- The Architecture of Belief):

Do not feed your suffering by fighting it, opposing it, rejecting it. By doing so, you're just fooling around with your monkey mind. You're just fooling around with your own mind games. You're fighting your own thoughts, your own opinions about some event that occurred in your life. Pain is one thing, but constantly thinking about it(how bad is it, why me, thoughts about the pain) is another.

Accept the truth about the impermanence of life.

you can't hold on to the pleasant things.
You can't hold on to the unpleasant things, either.
It's ever-changing.

This video slots into what I have been thinking about recently. I have social anxiety disorder and find it extremely difficult to look people in the eyes (among other things) and avoid social contact. This avoidance is what keeps the anxiety going. It trains my brain that there is indeed something to be afraid of. One of the characteristic 'features' of this anxiety disorder is a deeply held sense of shame about oneself. A feeling that everyone is better than I am and that I am not worthy of respect.
I think that this shame is because hiding my true flawed self from people is a kind of lie. I have been lying in this way for as long as I can remember. I think the only way to stop feeling this shame is to stop lying, to take on the responsibility of doing so.

I had a traumatic childhood due to the fathers sporadic drunken violence. We only escaped when I was 16..and rejoiced when he died years later. Sadly I have brought the broken child in to my adulthood and feel like I figuratively walk on rocks more often than not. I am learning to embrace my suffering however and developing a great work ethic to be of service to humanity. This is probably my saving grace!
