we as humans are so psychologically wired to the group and society around us even if we know something is true and enough people around say your wrong eventually you’ll start to question yourself and be gaslighted in to doubting your sanity this is because belonging is a necessity and gives us meaning the feeling of not being needed not making any difference or even a burden is striking right at the core of our instincts and makes us withdrawn depressed or anxious it can go as far as becoming hostile to others or oneself the only defense to this is to never question your self worth the love for yourself is not measured through other peoples standards only your own our culture is full of messages that were not worth anything unless we achieve this or that or sell our time and talent for a for a status career or spend our money to fulfill our desires everyone around us believe the same and even our loved ones gaslight us in to thinking we don’t fit because we don’t serve the purpose that is why it’s even more important to love yourself so much that your meaning and self worth persists all the underminings from the modern society it’s actually the only thing that matters and the only thing that is of worth for the people around you and is an antidote to our disruptive culture be in touch with yourself and never let anyone else tell you who or what you are   and also life is a concert don’t live your life to realize you were supposed to dance when it’s all too late life becomes so much more enjoyable when you stop judging yourself laugh about it cry about it we’re all goofy humans anyways only crazy people think they have it figured out
