5 Dangers of Thinking Too Much

(Art by chibird) The other day, while scrolling trough thousands of post in tumblr, i came up with a small picture drawn by chibird that reminds me of one of the subjects i would like to talk about. How many times have we been complimented by someone and instead of taking it as a positive thing, something that is reafirming who we are, we tend to devaluate that compliment ?

Society says that we don’t have to be narcissistc, we have to reduce our “egos” and be “normal” [This concept is quite controversial ] . The problem comes when we tend to refuse parts of our own identity by  reducing it’s importance. When you are good at something, and  someone notices it and compliments you, some people would say “ oh , it’s just the usual thing, it’s not so difficult to make it” . Our virtues and our deffects, the things we like to do and the things we hate, our  favourite food , the tv shows we dislike, the subjects we are good at and the ones that is better not to mention, defines ourselves, defines who we are. We have to be aware of that , we have to be aware of who we are,  reifnorce our good traits and accept the bad ones as a human beings who are not perfect, so . Resting importance to our good traits is devaluating the good things in us, instead , let’s just make a simple exercise. Next time you been complimented by something , accept it!  Think of it as “yes i’m good at it!”  this will help you to define your identity, to increase your self-confidence , and to show everybody else “who you are”.
