The thing is, it’s not a false fear. People are gonna get defensive when I live my life the way I want, when I talk about the things I’m interested in, when I show my skills to the world.

But fuck it. I don’t want to seek approval from shitty insecure people anymore. I don’t want to contort myself into a box so they can feel better about themselves. Gotta say screw them and find people that are on my level and appreciate what I have to offer.

What’s the worse thing that can happen if people reject you? When you follow this question all the way to its core, there will likely be some super shitty beliefs that make rejection super terrifying. Take a close look at them. They’re not real.

How do I flip it? Just be happy by yourself? I honestly don’t know if that’s possible for me.

Cold, aloneness, pain that never gets soothed.

if you wanted to try processing this in my style you could repeat a sentence like "if people don't like me then i'll be alone" and see how it resonates / what it brings up: sensations, thoughts, images, memories can also experiment w wording, this is a kind of gendlin focusing

It just made me sad, but like ambiguously not specifically. Also I keep getting this anxious feeling right at my belly button.

Try the same sentence again but with modified words until something becomes more clear - up there you said “cold, aloneness, unsoothed pain” so try “if people don’t like me I will be ——-“ and fill in some words
