I think I’m not a very good friend, but I’m not sure how to fix my behavior. I just keep getting in my own way.

I feel like when things go wrong in our lives it’s easy to blame the world for our issues and very few times do we take the time to reflect on ourselves and check if we are the ones making mistakes. Having flaws is natural but one must take responsibility for their action. Do a little self check and improve yourself constantly! (Be careful not to blame yourself for everything though)

Something that helps me a lot is reminding myself that we all tend to evaluate our own actions under a microscopic lens, observing problems that others would never pick up on because they’re not looking at us that closely. We tend to be much more critical of our own actions than those of others. And everyone does it! So reminding myself of this fact helps prevent me from spiraling.
ALSO: It can be very helpful to bring up a concern about something you did or said to a friend who was present at the time. 9/10 times they will tell you they hardly noticed it (if at all) and that it did not come off the way you feared. True friends will always accept you as you are and, as much as your anxiety brain would have you think otherwise, do not secretly hate you or think you’re lame!

New novel by Rachel Cusk—sharp, insightful, surprising. Finished this one over a week ago, and I’m still unpacking all the ground she covered here… One of our best living writers

But only in theory. In practice I’m a capitalist pig. But also think given climate change a very .. commanding government will likely be necessary to enact the changes that are going to be required
