Still working on getting away from many things on this list, but crucial to my journey is feeling seen and heard through the process without the attachment to external validation. Thanks for helping by sharing your own perspective. It truly does make a difference to know we’re not alone.
Still, I can’t help but wonder if those needs I have are ego-driven or not. The work continues… ☺️
I'm so glad you shared this, Kayla. Discerning between psychological and ego-driven needs can be challenging. Of course, the need to feel seen and heard is always legit and one I appreciate most. You're definitely not alone - the work continues for all of us.
Felt like I'm reading my journal entries from a year ago 🙈😅 It's crazy how we slipslide into patterned behaviours as a result of our conditioning from the movies, the gurus, and whatnot! Glad you mentioned Dale Carnegie - I learned a lot from him but later realized how much I needed to unlearn.
Haha! How similar you and I are (and everyone else). It is crazy but real. There's good in Dale Carnegie's lessons, but many are too superficial to be useful. You know.
I feel seen and heard, Melonie. I'm grateful for your kindness and generosity - thank you. Brené is awesome. And I agree, it is madness how we treat ourselves. But as Hassaan says above, that's the result of conditioning. And we're all conditioned. Sigh.

Great post, Ryan! Rooting for you hitting your goal.
Thanks, Jake. Appreciate your encouragement and ongoing support.
