This is something I definitely struggle with! Someone commented that it’s not fair that I’m 21 and co-dependent. Most of the time I spend at home is used to refine myself and really try to strengthen my personality and values. I feel mostly raw and unprepared for changes that I don’t seek because I haven’t been motivated enough to reach goals for myself as a lot of my actions are to help others. I really want to be self-serving enough to balance altruism and budding confidence (wherever or whenever I find it) but I tend to make excuses because I don’t want to mess up. Perfectionism and self-comparison are some common reasons/excuses as to why I find it hard to support myself and appreciate myself. I’m afraid the world I’ll try to step on me. Instead I opt to dream and make small strides in hopes that I can make bigger goals and start relying on myself in little steps. I just wish it was easier and made more sense is all. But I really appreciate the positivity in your post!! :-)
Is it alright to be a bit selfish?
