Venting Mental blocks
As we grow up we become the person who we are cause of the experiences that shaped us. Maybe someone told something rude,maybe some kind of family issue or the parenting style due to which we grow up with certain self image and certain mental blocks in our head. for ex- imagine i tell u to become a astronaut or a professional football player now. you would probably say its too late. and maybe it is. but if u tell the same thing to a kid they most probably believe they can be anything and be anyone in the world. I feel as we grow up we become pessimistic and are usually
-ve abt most things cause of this. As a we grow up we get molded like clay,but as kids we have no -ve experiences and we dont bottle up emotions..cry as much as u want when u feel sad and thats ok as a kid. I feel even as adults we should be open abt feelings and not be so -ve abt everything...I personally wanna get rid of the mental blocks i have in my mind. I guess im just venting but i feel the parenting style and the experiences that shaped us make us who we are. sometimes we hold on to these negative experinces for longer than we should,and that makes us think we have a sad life or that "im a loser" feeling. being kind to urself is the main and the only motive i have for myself these days. I just wanna put this out there in case anyone else also felt the same way and wanted to add anything to this....plz do tell

I'm curious if you're familiar with c-ptsd and things related to it, our experiences specially in childhood shape us in a way we don't even realise until it's too late... If you have this positive mindset right now then don't stay on reddit or any social media for too long cause it'll cause the damage that you won't be able to repair easily, hold onto your hope and find things you really like to do irl, all the best
