This journey is also one I’ve been on for a long time. Finding and practicing self-acceptance consistently is hard… and it’s so easy to fall into the ditches of elitism and (in my case) “I’ll reject myself before you can reject me!” But I love how you’ve described it here, and I think we’re both well on our way toward the happy medium.
Geoffe, this was beautiful. Thank you for sharing this rock with us.... there's so much to digest here. I really resonate with that sense of rejecting before I can be rejected... I've never considered how elitist it is.... but in a way it truly is, isn't it? To think I am so awful, so specially terrible, that I'm worth rejecting before you even meet me. Yikes. A truly powerful way to reframe this mindset and help reset it. <3 Thank you.
What a lovely comment! I really wasn't sure whether this one would land with anyone, but I guess that's often a good sign that it will land deeply with just a small portion of people... hahah. Thanks a ton for engaging and here's to us overcoming our self-doubt and ending our too-aggressive repressive reversal of it into elitism and our projection of it onto others as some kind of persecution!
