Sometimes we cannot deny that no matter how many times you do good to people they will only remember your mistakes 😞

Any advices?

People love to point out our flaws. There are lots of reasons for that... their own insecurities and issues, there own low self esteem. They try to belittle our achievements. My mother was like that so I know this first hand.

It takes time to see what they are doing. Just stand up tall, do your best and recognize how good you are.

Thank you for your advice, yeah my relatives are just perfectionist and judgemental, well, most Asian families are like that, that's why I come up with this feeling. God Bless you 😊

I'm sorry you are going through this. People that think they are perfectionists are usually covering up something themselves. I learned that in therapy. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes. Sometimes people try to be " perfect" to prevent ridicule. At the same time it's a part of them and they don't see how they are hurting someone else.

Stay strong and keep talking here. A lot of us understand the root issues of this.

Thank you so much πŸ™

No one's perfect, we all make mistakes. Some of the most critical people are the unhappiest.

Just be the best You you can be. That is all any of us can do.

People will always pick on our 'faults', or what they consider 'faults', because it is the things that last in our brains, (it's a self protection instinct) and humans are a prey species, so we look for the danger, even if we don't recognise it as such.

We should have outgrown it by now, but we automatically find the 'different' and use it as an excuse to be nasty to each other.

But we are all the same. 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 arms. 2 legs, and a pretty much equal assortment of innards! I don't recognise differences; I'll talk to anyone.

Cheers, Midori

🌸 There will always be someone who can't see your worth. Don't let it be you. πŸ’—

Thank you πŸ™, My ex broke up with me a week ago after I had a mental breakdown, I guess he didn't see me worth as well.

in reply to SineNomine23

You are very welcome, SineNomine23.

So, normally one would say "I am sorry to hear that your boyfriend left you." Not in this case, though. I feel you may do better without him.

Love yourself first, SineNomine23. Boyfriends/friends will be there and then not be there. The ones who stand by your side in your darkest hours are truly valuable and golden. Cherish and love them second. ❀️

I have that book. That one story has so much depth to it. Just because you were raised with the chickens doesn't mean you don't have the ability to soar high in the sky and be what you were meant to be :)

Thank you for sharing this story I hadn't heard it in a long time

Care for those that care for you. Don't be overly generous with those who won't appreciate what you have to offer. Understand that your value is not determined by someone else's opinion. Occasionally you'll come across those who appreciate you for who you are and it'll make being a giving soul mean that much more.

We all make mistakes but that is just a part of what makes up our character, please try to be kind to yourself, even when others may not be.
