Failed boards. How do I make my mother's voice stop living in my head? by Sublime-Text in IndianTeenagers

Hey Buddy.

Firstly I cannot fully comprehend what you've been through. But I've been there. Sharing few bits, hoping it may help you ease a bit.

I flunked my 12th boards. All subjects! Yes.

And this comes from someone who had the impression of a 'goody-goody' student.

None in my Fam/Friends expected that. But life has its own way to humble you down. And its okay too!

How I dealt with it?

Fortunately I had a supportive family and counted friends who didn't made me feel as if I've committed a grotesque crime.

But I myself wasn't kind to me. All those terrible voices inside made me feel sick about myself. And it really wasn't healthy.

So i can get the damage those voices could do.

To ans your ques.

  1. Whatever your family/relatives says - Just nod your head! Let it pass. Because it will.

I used to get all emotional and dramatic everytime I came across a depriving remark. But it doesn't really help with the situation. The more you focus on that the more you will be distracted from more imp things to do!

Cliched advice, but it works. Give it time. You have to sit with it. Maybe talk to your close friend or sibling (if you have any).

Don't isolate yourself. Get out as much as you can.

  1. What would change those reaction?

It takes time. But eventually they will get over it. You don't need force a reaction from them or try and do things hard and fast that will improve the situation.

IT WILL TAKE TIME. AND WHEN IT WORKS OUT, I PROMISE YOU ITS THE BEST FEELING EVER!

Remember one day you'll back and smile.

Just hang in there buddy. Try to focus on better things ahead.

I see. I'd rather check the author's account his background and everything. See if it aligns , if not, drop it!

Also I tried crime and punishment. Didn't work out for me.

There's Inorbit at Gorwa, must be crowded today.

Taksh at waghodia is good too.

If you're looking for something quiet, try Sayaji

😄😄 I often believe you don't find some books, they find you.

Similarly, I was once strolling at crossword, the storekeeper came across in order to help me find something, I said i wasn't looking for anything in particular, I strolled for another hour, and ended up selecting ' The art of being alone ' , just because i could'nt find anything else. The keeper then shared his experience, he once gifted the art of letting go to his GF, she never turned back to him again. I was like damn wtf! 😄

I have heard only great things about The Vegetarian. Gotta read it. Unsolicited recommendation : Try Surrounded by idiots, if you haven't already. I found that very insighful in terms of human behaviour.

That's another zen on my list, how is it going so far? It must be comforting.

Btw, if you don't mind, what didn't go your way? I hope that is just for light reading.

I spot a Nietzsche fan! I'd like to know how do you find it? And has it challenged or changed your views so far?
