self compassion, socialization
"when you're not used to being confident, confidence feels like arrogance
when you're used to being passive, assertiveness feels like aggression
when you're not used to getting your needs met, prioritizing yourself feels selfish
your control zone is not a good benchmark"

self compassion, socialization, trauma
"not to get too deep on main but did anyone else have such deeply rooted issues with their self worth for so long that they thought as a kid/teen that their only redeeming feature was being “low maintenance” and now as an adult you give yourself guilt pangs asking for any more than the barest minimum in virtually any relationship because asking for things might negate your only good quality which is just “doesn’t ask for things” "

self compassion, intrusive thoughts
"if courage isnt the absence of fear but doing the right thing regardless of it, maybe confidence isnt the absence of insecurity but knowing you have real worth despite it
[..]
by this same token, maybe goodness isnt the absence of bad thoughts or impulses, but the conscious choice to behave according to your moral ideas in spite of them"
