Is it necessary that we do that? I realize we learn to do this throughout childhood and adolescence but, as adults, aren't we supposed to have formed a healthy self-image which sustains us through life? (I'm thinking of myself here and how much other people play into thoughts about myself and my life.) Even as I type this, the thought goes through my head, "You're aware of the psychology of these things so why don't you recognize and proceed accordingly through life?" It seems, for me, that regardless of what I know, I continue to follow certain patterned behavior. <br /><br />Life changes. As we change, everything around us shifts. Nothing is static outside of a vacuum. I guess it depends on how we react to the change that makes life good or bad, no?<br /><br />I'm sorry, Aly. I've so much going on inside my own head and heart that any attempt to empathize brings me full circle to self-analysis.<br /><br />Are you able to turn off the thoughts, to ignore the "buts" and "what-ifs"? I'm repeatedly told that I think TOO much. :)Insanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02227240825427236330noreply@blogger.com
