Shame Resilience
Shame resilience is the ability to say: this hurts. This is disappointing, maybe even devastating. But success and recognition and approval are not the values that drive me. My value is courage and I was just courageous. You can move on, shame.
Sweet!

Yeah- there are a couple things going on here that are just SUPER important, and honestly they are just "ways of seeing the world" that completely change the way you react to situations.
Having courage as a value is something that is critically important. It allows you to be yourself, and in any situation where others are attempting to make you feel bad about yourself, it just doesn't matter. It's like I was being SUPER courageous so it just doesn't matter what you think, or anyone else thinks... because what I did was brave and vulnerable and real and beautiful.
And THATS the fucking truth of the matter.
When you're out at night, and you're afraid of approaching- it's because you don't value courage enough. It's becuase you don't recognize that what you're doing in that act of approaching is just SO god damn beautiful. It's so REAL and VULNERABLE.
When you're in your head, afraid to make that BOLD move, it's because you are putting somene else's thoughts above your own values. You're saying that it's okay to sacrifice your own courage, in order to make someone else happy.
There is just SO MUCH beauty in being couraegous. Even if that courage comes in small ways- simply being ourselves, being vulnerable, being willing to act in accordance with our own deepest values, because that's what's important. It's not that we don't understand how other people are feeling or reacting, it's that we just put SO MUCH importance on our own values that we can't dream of anything else EVER getting in the way of that.
Like, nobody can EVER make you feel bad about something if you're being you, because that just takes SO MUCH courage... it really is fucking beatiful.
That's all.
awesome
beautiful, man. i'm still struggling with approaching so i remind myself this when i go out.

Why is that when a man sleeps with a women, he's called a player. But, when a woman does it, she's called a lesbian?!

You'll be past that nonsense very quickly

Amazing. I've thought about this before but I've never actually verbalized it like this. 100% agree.
