Overcome Fear, Guilt, and Shame

[mat422]

Mat, understand that 98% of people are completely unconscious of you. They don't even notice what's in front of their face. They see signs and completely fail to realize those signs are there. Same with the people around them. How can they hate you if they don't know you're there?

And why would they hate you? Do you somehow magically deserve to be hated so much that it's just a natural reaction people have to you? Hardly. The average person hates what they fear. What makes you so scary? I laugh at your scariness, Mat! HaHA, take that!

If you're worthless, then you can't be worth feeding, or raising, or taking any care of at all, and since you're alive, that's obviously not true. So obviously, you are not worthless.

Thanks for the negative belief busting Shannon. I still need to work on my irrational thinking. I feel like I've got a lifetime of that kind of thinking that I need to turn around. So I decided I'm gonna go see a therapist and work on some of this stuff. I think it just helps having outside perspective because sometimes working on these thoughts in my own head doesn't work too well.
