#self doubts

[cutie-buttercup]

I didn't know adulting is very hard. No one told me that securing a job is stressful and difficult. I hate to admit it but I started to get disappointed. Disappointed not for the people around me or for those companies who rejected me. I am disappointed for myself. Then, questions of self doubts started to afloat in my mind. Why can't I do things properly? Why can't I be so good at doing something like other people? "What ifs" creek in, spreading like wildfires.

My heart is very heavy right now. Despite all the rejections, I still managed to smile and even laugh. Well, it's some sort of coping mechanism or I must say I'm good at fooling and gaslighting myself just so I can hide the pain.

This is a story about a young girl that used to wear the clothes of her cousins when they grew out of them because she preferred wearing these clothes.

This is a story about a young girl that hated the color pink and refused to wear anything in this color.

This is a story about a young girl who was often mistaken as a boy by strangers, was being stared at and being pointed at by kids her age.

This is a story about a teenage girl who was told to dress more 'girly' / 'feminine' and not in that style she had back then (which wasn't particularly masculine either)

This is a story about a teenage girl who didn't like taking selfies because she didn't think she would look good in it.

This is a story of a young adult who is slowly figuring out oneself.

A young adult who has stopped worrying about how other people might see them.

A young adult who has started to take selfies again.

Gender roles only create pressure from society.

Don't let anyone tell you how to dress, how to look and what you should do.

Because we are all amazing, loving and unique human beings that deserve to live how we want to.

Because life is too short to pretend to be someone you are not.

I hope that person finds out their blanket made that boy's day. 🥹

I enjoy the Two Cakes Philosophy and I believe it deserves its place enshrined in fandom culture.

Forgive me for the extended metaphor but I also want to simultaneously celebrate what I’m calling Bakery Display Case Philosophy. You know when you walk into a bakery and the display case is full of beautiful treats? And there’s a variety of different colors, textures, and flavors to discover? And that’s so deeply exciting?

You might say to yourself, “No one is going to want to read this pairing. No one is going to want to want a character study of that character. No one wants genfic in this fandom, only shipfic.”

And you might use that to discourage yourself from writing a certain fic.

Fandoms, like bakeries, need cakes and cookies and éclairs and cream puffs and shortbread and brownies and pies and tarts and petit fours and turnovers and cinnamon rolls and madeleines and meringues—and so many other things—to survive.

Write your dark chocolate pistachio croissant fic. Your fandom needs it actually.

Pissed-off Batkid: “I’m not Batman.”

I might as well skip over the sports festival if it’s giving me this much trouble to come close to the master piece that Horikoshi drew.

Maybe it’s just the perfectionist in me that wants to do these moments justice. Wanting to express the pure excitement I got when both reading and watching these action packed moments.

Just the raw emotion alone gives me goosebumps. Sometimes my self confidence issues comes to bite me in the butt when I’m trying to match the same energy of someone I look up to.

All because I’m writing a piece of work dedicated to another piece of work doesn’t mean I have to copy everything down to the last details. It’s just how much I would like to express my thoughts and emotions that was inspired by such creations.

Or… I really suck at writing Todoroki’s POV. But I need a common POV that battles both Bakugo and Midoriya, if I want to explain (from my in take) how the whole Sports Festival went down.

Well it’s a good thing that Thursday and Friday’s chapters are done. Gonna try to take it easy writing chapter 34 and 35. The sports festival is such a major event that it deserves to be expressed as such!

(about p.3) when you relax, do really relax: laying down while thinking about all you have to do next and thinking about when to start again, isn't relaxing at all but a different way to stress out yourself.

Overcoming Self-Doubt: Steps to Boost Your Confidence

Self-doubt can be a major obstacle in our personal and professional lives, preventing us from achieving our goals and living our best lives. But with the right mindset and strategies, we can learn to overcome self-doubt and boost our confidence.

1. Recognize Your Self-Doubt The first step to overcoming self-doubt is recognizing when it arises. This means paying attention to your thoughts and feelings, and identifying when you start to doubt yourself or your abilities.

2. Challenge Your Negative Thoughts Once you recognize your self-doubt, the next step is to challenge your negative thoughts. This means questioning the validity of your negative beliefs and replacing them with more positive, realistic ones. For example, if you are doubting your ability to succeed in a new job, remind yourself of times when you have overcome challenges in the past and focus on your strengths and accomplishments.

3. Practice Self-Care Self-care is an important part of boosting your confidence and overcoming self-doubt. This means taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental health. This can include things like eating healthy, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and taking time to relax and recharge.

4. Learn New Skills Learning new skills can also help you overcome self-doubt and boost your confidence. This can help you build confidence, expand your knowledge, and open up new opportunities. Whether it’s taking a class, learning a new language, or developing a new skill for your career, there are endless possibilities for personal growth and development.

5. Seek Support Finally, seeking support from friends, family, or a therapist can also help you overcome self-doubt. Talking to someone you trust about your feelings can help you gain perspective and identify strategies for moving forward.

Closing:

In conclusion, self-doubt can be a major obstacle in our personal and professional lives, but with the right mindset and strategies, we can learn to overcome it and boost our confidence. By recognizing our self-doubt, challenging our negative thoughts, practicing self-care, learning new skills, and seeking support, we can unlock our full potential and achieve our goals. Remember, you are capable of amazing things - all you need to do is believe in yourself.
