In the case of the othe original comment it is most definetly meant figuratively to make a point, to ephasise how one should focus on themselves first, giving less redards to other for the benefit of ones self. At least this is how it came off to me.

Man... How true is this

I mean, maybe she's just talking about yoga?

I felt it just now reading this.

As a previous commenter mentioned, what you call average is what many might aspire to. I'm aware that that's not what you want to hear or that you find helpful, so here's my practical advice for you:

If you're honest when you say you value the stuff in your life you need to accept it, your "average" life. Desire nothing more than but to nurture what you already have. You might also find this brings value to others.

I also advise you see a therapist.

A new affair of sorts - career, romantic, life passion - can be great, but if you're someone who thrives in stability or needs it, understand that the risk profile for engaging in one these activities is high. The cost for being above average requires sacrifice. Whichever decision you make, you'll need to accept full responsibility, as you are for your current mindset.

😂 It's not me suffering because of other people's narcissism, it's them. ☺ 😘

That’s terrible advice. Imagine if we all just treated others like we didn’t care what they thought of us

Have you ever been evaluated for adhd?

Continue to be grateful and do to those less fortunate than you.

And that's what got me through highschool!

I stopped caring about failing and what others would think about that, and I did it! Failed, that is.

I got some help days before finals and got probably extremely lucky, without feeling the actual gravity of the situation (but feeling the usual window/anxiety).

Almost 2 years ago, that's a different person now.

Go on an interview for a job and apply this philosophy. Wear pajamas if you’d like.

We’re all of these quotes written by women too?

Cringed hard on Rey's quote

Agreed, surely she has a better quote than that.

Fake. There is no Ellen Ripley.

Wouldn’t it be more empowering to have quotes from actual women? Or at least have it be entirely composed of characters from female authors/creators? Or shit at least not almost entirely cartoon characters? It almost low key insulting.

Some of them are not empowering at all.

Some interesting quote that some people should actually know is "emotion does not invalidate purpose, it informs it". it is from the game the fall 2 unbound.

The context is a long story so I will keep it short: The robot buttler had depression and was convinced that he can't have both emotions and a life's purpose at once, so since he has a purpose in life he must not have any emotions. When arid made him realize that he does have emotions he paniced, that's when she told him that.
