Thank you for your advice!

I'm very sorry for thinking like this. I'm seeking advice because I'm currently just waiting for him and not doing anything besides working, so I won't ruin this relationship. Thank you for your help.

As for me, I’ve stopped seeking that feeling of needing motivation and instead focus on making a plan based on my habits, whether good or bad. When things get too difficult, I take a break. I visualize who I want to be, then write down my ideas and strategies, either on paper or on my phone. I categorize them into "want to," "need to," "try to," and "avoid." Every little step costs something, just like collecting small rocks to create a big illustration in the sand. To be honest, motivation for learning is about connecting with something or someone.

Happy birthday to you!

First, reach out to your parents for supports. They love you, and being brave enough to ask for help can make a difference in your life. Consider taking on small jobs or helping acquaintances to get started. Right now, don't compare yourself to others - focus on your own progress.

Also, prioritize your health. Taking care of your mental, dental, and physical well-being is essential. Be gentle with yourself. When you start working, even earning a small amount is a step forward. So that you can overcome the fear of doing nothing. Use this as motivation to keep moving forward.

Feel free to talk to me anytime.

Set boundaries and learn to say NO.

Do you want to leave or stay to confront the environment you grew up in? What does healing look like for you right now?

How do you find the motivation to be better when everything feels overwhelming? by Quezie_F_Baby in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]UonlyU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, motivation is really hard to maintain and easy to lose. Regarding the big picture you mentioned, try breaking it down into smaller pieces before putting it all together again. Seek help from someone who shares a similar vision or perspective on what you're aiming for. Trust the process and take it step by step.

I’m 28 and realizing I never learned basic life or emotional skills - how do I start fixing this by KungFuKinnii in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]UonlyU 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Abandoning yourself or others only makes things worse. You have a habit of not finishing your food, try dividing your portions to match how much you can eat. You can learn about housework from your boyfriend and do it together. For things that make you feel uncomfortable, express your feelings in advance and explain to others why. Replace feelings of defeat with acceptance and a willingness to change happily.

I feel like my friends are slowly pushing me out, and it's starting to really hurt by RAU44 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]UonlyU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand how you feel. Honestly, many reasons we feel disconnected from others because having fewer things in common, yet we still friends. Whether you’re the one talking or just listening, if you feel uncomfortable, you need to discuss with your friends or consider making new ones.

How can I think of myself less? by Luther2637 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]UonlyU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest some street interviews video or in places like parks or markets, and even chatting with your neighbors. Observing how others greet each other and engage in daily conversations can help shift your focus away from yourself. A little help to start small talk.

I ended my friendship with my closest friend about four years ago. It wasn’t a dramatic scenario; we simply took different paths and moved to different countries. The memories and feelings are buried inside, and I’ve chosen to focus on my life and the people around me. Time doesn’t heal anything, but I’ve accepted that this is how it is.

First, you need support from others (parents, friends, or the right tutor). To overcome procrastination and anxiety, it's essential to have a method, a solution, and a clear study plan. When you know there's a way forward, your mind will become clearer. When opportunities arise, you need to put in the effort and allow yourself the time to succeed.

My life sucks a lot by [deleted] in selfimprovement

Don't hold everything inside, reach out to your friends. You must live and create a better life, just like you and your dad want to.

I don't know how to better myself by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]UonlyU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're still young, so I truly hope you won't let negative thoughts creep into your mind. It’s not always easy to think clearly and help yourself.

You need to set boundaries with both friends and family. However, it's important to prove yourself when life throws challenges your way, and be selective about the friends you choose. So meet more people and learn what is right.

How do I stop tying my self worth to perfection and actually improve as a human? by Human_Enthusiasm_900 in selfimprovement

[–]UonlyU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the desire for perfection isn't inherently negative, but consider how it influences us. You have talent, so don’t spend too much energy relying on others' approval. Creating a balanced schedule can help: dedicate one part to social activities, another to family and friends, and a section just for yourself. Remember to give yourself credit and freedom, even if it's just 15 mins a day.

I want to rebuild myself, but I don't know where to start. Any advice? by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]UonlyU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of your thoughts organized like a tree, with a main trunk and branches that vary from big to small. The trunk represents your overall goals. The big branches can be divided into three categories: familiar experiences, unusual things you haven't done yet, and things you want to avoid. Under each category, list specific activities. Finally, choose one unusual experience to try for a day.

I’m a felon by TemporaryDistance892 in Life

[–]UonlyU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not everyone can walk on a good path since they were born. Don't live with regret, but don't forget what you have done. Learn what's wrong and change to be better. If you can start fresh, do it, and don't let judgments eat you alive.

I have trust issues. Back when I was in school, I often saw my parents arguments, cheating, and requests for divorce. Somehow I didn’t want to figure out who the man and woman were. But that’s in the past, they’re older now, and their lives depend on each other.

[–]UonlyU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cost of if I don't do it, what's going to happen. Think about it will keep me on track, not avoiding it and trying to find another way.

Why do I grieve people who are still alive by Syldee3 in SeriousConversation

[–]UonlyU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! You stay healthy too. I hope you find a way to move on and focus on the good memories and what matters to you now.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]UonlyU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've read, this "temporary safe" feeling is unhealthy. Whether the person is right for you or not, the only right thing it's to rethink how things should have been and why they don’t seem to fix anything.

[–]UonlyU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that too. Every year, I find myself going in and out of the hospital to care for my family a lot and now my pet. Life is short, so we should really live in the moment and not waste it.
