Stage 5, Day 8,
A couple of insights that I've been sitting on:
- The need for reassurance is a form of validation seeking; stop making statements of uncertainty or insecurity towards people in the hope that they will give you calming words or shore up your abilities.
- Shut your damn mouth; don't blab to people about random goings on. I used to tell at least one person when I got a new date, etc. Now, I keep my own business to myself and don't even hint to it. Even if people inferred it, I wouldn't share.
- Disclose things only with people you've chosen in advice that you trust. Rumor spread quickly if put in the hands of the wrong person.
