today what was one of the lowest days of my life, I just realized what I have missed all my life.. self compassion! this is exactly what i missed so much that i ended up hating myself to the extreme of having suicidal thoughts. it's been a rough week.
what did the self hate do to me.. I have been extremely self-critical, exteremly critical of others which is the reason why i have ended up lonely and all by myself. When you end up all lonely and all by yourself and you have hate in your heart for yourself it is the most overwhelmingly painful thing I have ever experienced just short of killing myself. self esteem has been crushed because of self hate. It might also be the reason for the issue of staring at people inappropriately is just a manifestation of extreme self criticism. self denial and self deceit.
I just realized and was just saved by self compassion today!

I hope you can make this happen.I am really excited about my dream to write a flora field guide of a national park about 2 hours drive from where I live. I might never finish it, but I am really inspired by taking small steps towards completing it. A book seems like something big to achieve in a life. I can see myself holding it in my hand, something with a bit of my heart and soul in it and saying- this in my book- I did that. I guess the real fun will be on the journey towards making it happen
Congratulations on your immense amount of time in front of the computer! :applause:5000th post~!

^ Yay, that's great!My car loan is now finished! Made my final payment today and now I can hopefully start saving some cash. Also the woman at the credit union that served me was nothing short of delightful, which made that experience all the more better.![]()

I decided to treat myself to a delicious pizza in recognition of completing my car loan. It was very tasty. Puma, there's none left, sorry.
Now to let it all digest and head to bed. Very productive day all around.![]()
