“Kitaplar aynadır; Onlarda ancak içinde taşıdığın şeyi görürsün.”
“Extremes tend to connect. For example, people who appear arrogant tend to have low self-esteem. They keep trying to get others to look up to them. But if someone has high self-esteem, they don’t really care what other people think about them.”
“There’s a desire to punish yourself, shall we say. You have this superego that exerts control over you, a superego built not only from your own experiences but cobbled together from all sorts of things that you admire, creating an idealised version of yourself. But that idealised version of yourself is, in the end, only an ideal. It’s not who you actually are. You keep failing to meet that ideal in the real world, and then you punish yourself”
Okur Takip Önerileri
“Your own anger turns you into a guilty person”
“You’re blaming your circumstances instead of your personality,”
“You need to accept that different people will have different responses to the same conversation.”
“I think you tend to focus too much on your ideals and pressure yourself by thinking, I have to be this kind of person! ”
If we have a habit of judging people from a simplistic perspective, that perspective will eventually turn against ourselves
“But what kind of person would feel so terrible about not having asked someone being loud to be quiet? A person who is deliberately looking for ways to torture oneself, maybe. Most people are timid but the self-imposed pressure not to be timid makes you criticise yourself, even though you did speak out one out of ten times”
“ Challenge yourself to do something you had never thought possible for you.”
“It’s like you’re running inside a hamster wheel. You try to get out of your depression through your efforts but fail, and this continuing cycle of trying and failing feeds back into the original depression.”
I decided not to expect too much from friends or friendships anymore.
“I want to be self-sufficient and be fine when I’m alone, but I keep thinking that would be impossible.”
“I simply gave in to the fact that I was someone who was depressed from birth, and let my world grow darker and darker.”
