Poor self-image

  • If I haven't heard from someone for a while, I often think I said or did something wrong
    • my solution(s):

      • I tell my friends about my concerns and so far they let me know when they are (very) busy

      • nowadays I often manage to filter out people from whom I have little or no need to expect an answer, and then I ask my questions differently

  • When I have created something, I almost always want to receive additional confirmation that it is beautiful, even if I think its good enough and am happy with it
    • my solution(s):
      • I have started to learn more and more to increase my self-confidence by reading self-help books and doing exercises, so that I know that what I do and make is good (enough)
  • When someone repeatedly says what I am not doing well (even if this is not true) or says what I (supposedly) "can't do", I get very angry
    • my solution(s):
      • getting back to my own basics as quickly as possible, believing in myself and my own abilities (inner peace)
      • this kind of negativity often inspires me to make something, to be creative
