You are letting their opinions carry more importance than they deserve; if they didn't matter, you would simply shrug them off and move on. The first step toward helping yourself is realizing that absolutely no one has the right to judge you or blame you for anything. However, that realization has to come from within. You don't owe anyone an explanation. It is the ego that seeks to defend itself and its positions to those who are only interested in condemning you.
You cannot force yourself to think positively; you either feel it or you don't. Forcing any emotion only generates massive amounts of stress, so stop trying to compel yourself to feel anything specific.
Ignore what others are saying. Peace is found within you. Just relax.
you're right... I honestly don't know why those opinions mess with my head so much.🤷
I feel like I’m losing my mind because everyone around me won't stop bringing up God and the church. Don't get me wrong, I do believe in God, but I just don't buy into organized religion—not specifically the whole Christian thing. Now, suddenly, I'm treated like some kind of outsider, and people are looking at me sideways like I’ve been possessed or like I've somehow "lost my way." Honestly, I'm just incredibly stressed out, and I can't seem to shake it; it feels like every single move I make is just one big, massive mistake. 🙂 I used to have such a clear sense of who I was and what I stood for, but lately, I'm just exhausted from constantly having to explain myself or make excuses for my life... it makes me feel pretty foolish, too, since I'm the type of person who actually believes in the supernatural, energy, and chakras... and now, it's almost as if I've lost the right to believe in God, or heaven, or anything positive at all. People keep pushing me to "think positively," but it feels totally pointless when there's nobody I can actually talk to about it. Even now, with summer right here and things that should be enjoyable happening, I'm just stuck feeling stressed, sad, and agitated because I have no idea how to find my peace... how am I supposed to find my inner peace again when everyone around me keeps telling me that everything I do is wrong? 😢 🙂
