Where Is Your Self-Trust Blocked?

I ask everyone around me what they think before I can decide

I act fast and deal with the consequences later

I get quiet and wait for the decision to get made for me

I sit with it, taking time to understand how I feel about it

When you are facing a big decision, what happens first? notice what your first instinct is

“See, you should have listened to someone else“

“It’s fine. Move on, it doesn’t matter to me ”

“I knew better and I did it anyway, typical“

Give in. Conflict feels more dangerous than losing myself

I shut down and get defensive, without fully knowing why

I say nothing, but carry the resentment for too long

I hold my boundary even when the discomfort of their reaction is hard

I don’t let myself slow down enough to feel anything

I know what I need, but I can’t make myself do it

I can see the truth clearly, but I don’t always trust it

When someone I loved made me feel shame for believing in myself

After I failed at something that really mattered to me

it happened so slowly I didn’t even notice until it was gone
