Ignorance is bliss

The more psychological research I do the more I learn . The more I learn , the more aware of other people's behaviours I become , that leads me to become more aware of my own behaviour. And that scares me....am I good? Am I the problem? Am I to blame? Is it me?

I'm hopeful that as you learn more about yourself you will sort through all these questions and find peace.

All those questions can be answered if you look deep inside you, It's like peeling layers of an onion. Get to the middle and work your way out.

You are good There are many things that lead us to these questions.

I wish you the best as you continue your search for answers

Thankyou for reply and positive affirmation. It does seem questions lead to more questions though and if you look too closely at yourself the more you judge yourself...myself I mean. Overthinking can be a problem too 🙃

The funny thing about knowledge, as your title points out, is that it really reveals more truths about your place in the world than one might otherwise be comfortable knowing. But it is then what we do with the things we learn that makes all the difference in our lives.

The fact you are questioning yourself and wondering “…am I good?” is a strong indicator that you care. Questioning yourself and the world around is what makes us all stronger. I often think about the old adage “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will eat for the rest of his life.” And I will apply it to the questions I ask about myself. If I can better understand and accept my own flaws, I believe I can then be in a proper position to do something positive about them. If I can learn how I might negatively affect the world around me, I am in a better position to truly change.

And by the same token, if I can also think critically about the things I am good at and accept those things too, I am more capable of loving myself more. By appreciating the strengths I do have, I can then perhaps even have more confidence to leverage those strengths into something more.

Knowledge and understanding shatters ignorance. And through shattering ignorance you can acquire the tools you need to manifest the person you truly wish to be. And it is my belief that most of all of us want to be good and helpful. To be joyful and happy. To share love and have love returned. And it is from that perspective I know that you are a good person. Maybe it will take time for you to feel that you’re making improvements, but so long as you are striving…then you are thriving.

You are too kind! I started a new job which has left me in quite a state of flux. I haven’t yet fully found a new balance in my life yet.

litethatnevergoesout mentioned to me that you had asked about me. So I wanted to make sure I reached out. I also do check my own DMs as much as I can, and if you ever would like to talk about something, feel free to message me

Thankyou . And I am pleased to hear about your new job as difficult as new beginnings can be I'm sure you will soon find your feet and it will only be a positive in your life x
