I've had severe mental blocks on sharing both where I feel weak and where I feel strong
Both feel so dangerous
I've made great progress in sharing where I feel weak
I feel like I've made no progress on sharing where I feel strong
Conversation
It's so ironic how weak I feel in the act of claiming my strengths

i imagine there will be a lot of different blocks here but for me sharing my strengths feels like making promises i'm not sure i can keep? i am really really afraid of disappointing people i guess :/

Oof feel that
The main one for me is anti-ego conditioning
Humbleness as a virtue (but in practice the most social adept humblebrag & virtue signal) When say something directly positive about yourself, get passive aggressive "ooh la de das" at best, full social rejection at worst

We mock Americans for the stereotypical full on positivity "you go girl" etc
But mostly cause everyone assumes it is *always* fake
We favour type II errors, & stereotypically Americans favour type I errors

I think I could do with some full on brash positivity in my life

i like anime as a source of role models for this

Which ones spring to mind?
I was watching Dragonball Z recently & was like oh fuck
This feeds so strongly into my perfectionistic sense of relentlessness, being unable to cave & having to push through massive pain to self-sacrifice for others
