  Self confidence

  anyone who has read my history of posts knows that one of my struggles is trying to find and build self confidence.. what is it about being a jw that can tear down someone's self confidence?.

  i'm a smart guy.

  i have a 4.0 gpa.

  Wow, what a subject.

  First off hugs to you ((((((joelbear)))))

  Happiness indeed is directly derived by how self confident you are. the more it varies the more your happiness will as well.

  Unfortunately it is also something you can only do for yourself. Noone, no idea, no place and no things can give you self confidence which ultimately leads to happiness. Only you can give yourself that confidence that you deserve. Its almost a catch 22.

  Its hard work but in the end very much worth it. I don't know you too well (sorry I wish I knew more about your situation but I havent followed many of your posts) so I won't pretend to know all your circumstances but I can maybe give you some tips as I have felt hopeless and ugly and depressed before. I have no degree but I can give you my information as someone who has been there and built up.

  If you want things to change you have to change them. Sometimes it may seem like you have no energy or motivation but at first you will have to force yourself to take those first steps. It will be frightening and nerveracking but I believe anyone can do it. Get yourself a buddy..one who will not let you just stay home and do nothing about it (If you have someone like that then perfect..if you don't then make that your first goal). Making and keeping friends can help build confidence as long as you are true to yourself. You will realize that people like you for who you are and that you aren't such a "horrible" person.

  Discover what you like to do. Not what your friends/family etc like but what you truly enjoy. Even if you only get to do it a short time each week make sure you make time to at least do it. I sometimes have done what I call a "me day". If I am able I take a day and only do things that I want to do. If I want to go out to eat, watch a movie, read a book etc I go do it and yes I go by myself and think of what great company I am. If you are a writer/Artist/musician then I recommend embracing your talents. Art can be some of the greatest therapy. If you have ever wanted to try something but always thought that you weren't good enough to ever do it...go and try, you may suprise yourself. In the end you will be able to say that you gave it your best shot and thats what counts in the end.

  You have a long road ahead of you. That is the only thing I do know for certain. But you are worth it.

  Anyway...I hope some of this helps you. Sorry for the ramblings but I do hope that if you haven't tried some of my suggestions please do. And have a great day! (because that is within your power)

  nice little paradoxical flick.

  got to discuss it with a friend and he was unimpressed because as he puts it: the end is a sci-fi cop-out in the fact that "the boy wakes up"...I said well the boy doesnt wake up but does die and that was the paradox part of it.

  ahhh well....too early in the morning for deep stuff.....my brain hurts now

  by czarofmischief in

  2. entertainment

  hyah!.

  so, since i left the borg, i've been exploring all kinds a cool stuff that i wasn't allowed to do.

  rated r movies, blood sausages, rap music, wearing my hat backwards, patriotism, sex.. so, you know how the society and other fundies are always saying that heavy metal is the tool of the devil?

  First thing that popped to my mind is the movie "Heavy Metal" (great movie btw)

  Since it appears that you are talking about music I say the same thing.

  Music is music is music is music. Music is an art form...a form of self expression. Art is decifered by those that it reaches. This is one of those perception deals.

  IMO....music cannot be demonized as it is an idea not a tangible item. Think about it...

  my .02 anyway

  My minimus like question of the day

  by pr_capone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why is it that every time there is an argument on this forum, there are at least 5 to 7 threads that pop up talking about how we need to make up, how we should get over it, and how we need to start over/ .

  none of them point directly or quote directly from the original flame thread but all beat around the bush though we all know what they are talking about.. do those threads really do anything to help the situation or do they continue to pour salt on an open wound?.
